Live - Love - Laugh Cards

Happy Monday! I'm so pleased to announce that I'll be continuing on as part of the design team for Ewe-N-Me Printables in 2015!!

Today I'm featuring several cards I created using Deena's Primitive Labels - Live Love Laugh. You will get nine printable images on an 8.5"x 11" sheet -- with three of them being mini labels. I used three of the larger labels (3.5" x 2.5") to create three different cards. I printed the downloadable page on white cardstock and cut out three labels.

I adhered a piece of a vintage book page to a card, stapled a strip of ivory burlap ribbon and then glued on the label. The paper butterfly gives this card a bit of whimsy!

I love the fresh and simple look these labels gave to my cards. I used both ivory and pale blue cardstock. And, the subdued colors are a nice change after the vibrant colors of the holidays!

Most of all, though, I love the "Live Love Laugh" message! A wonderful way to start the new year!

Little Note Cards

Happy 2015 everyone!

Today I'm featuring a super-simple but super-charming note card set that features Ewe-N-Me Printable's Collage Sheet - New Year Kids. There are six different images in two different sizes -- for a total of twelve images!!

I printed off the sheet on white cardstock and cut out the images I wanted to use. The note card set I'm featuring today uses the small images which are 1.5" x 2.5".

I started off with six 3"x3" dark green note cards and layered each with a panel of vintage ledger paper. I then adhered one of the images to each card. The vibrant colors are so perfect against the dark green cards.

I stamped "2015" in teal blue ink on the edge of each card. I kept it easy and carefree by stamping the numbers in free form style. No precision alignment here!!!

 These images are so charming -- look at those sweet faces!!

Wouldn't this note card set make a lovely thank you gift?

Little Note Card Set

Happy Monday everyone!

It's Christmas week and I'm sure the next few days will zoom by! It never fails that I end up scrambling for one more gift. My little note card set is perfect for that last-minute present or a lovely hostess gift.

The kraft cards measure 3x3 and are layered with a tan and ivory scripted panel. I then attached a shabby chic kraft paper flower to each card.

These flowers feature script, music notes and polka dot patterns. Really great!

That's it! Doesn't get much easier! These little cards would work well on a gift bag or box. Because of the neutral color, they can be used for almost any occasion, too!

This card set is so simple yet elegant looking. If you're looking for an easy last-minute gift idea, why not try out this project!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Mini Notebook Stocking Stuffers

Happy Holidays everyone! Can you believe we've got less than two weeks until Christmas?

If you're looking for a fun and festive stocking stuffer, I've got the perfect project for you. I'm featuring Ewe-N-Me Printable's Hang Tags - Snowman Doodles 2 that I used for my Christmas mini notebooks. You'll get three ADORABLE snowman images with this downloadable -- and you'll get three of each image on an 8.5 x 11 page!

I started this project by covering the front and back covers of three mini notebooks with red and ivory patterned paper. The notebooks are approximately 3-1/4" x 4-1/2." Then, I printed the snowmen images on white cardstock and cut out three of them.

I glued the snowmen images to the front of the notebook and adhered a strip of black and white polka dotted ribbon to the edge of each notebook.

I added a black and white striped button to each image, and to make these notebooks really festive, I added a snowflake embellishment.

Aren't these snowmen just so great!  

If you're looking for a little gift or stocking stuffer idea, I hope I gave you some inspiration!

And, right now - thru December 14 - all Ewe-N-Me Printables Hang Tags are only $1.00!!

So glad you stopped by today!

Christmas Decor - Mini Canvases

Hi everyone! We're into December now and I am really excited to share a project I had so much fun with. If you're looking for an easy addition to your holiday decor or unique gift, this might be it.

I'm featuring Ewe-N-Me Printables - Hang Tags Snowman Postcards. There are four images and you will get two of each on an 8.5" x 11" sheet. They are adorable, fun and festive!! This one is my favorite.

I printed them out on white card stock and cut out four images. Then I decoupaged each to a mini canvas (3.5" x 2.5"). When dry, I sprayed the front of each canvas with a bit of pearl mist. Next, I spread a line of glue to the top and bottom of each canvas and sprinkled them with epsom salts (it looks like snow). 

When the glue dried, the four canvases looked like this:

I placed each mini canvas on an easel.

Wouldn't these be a fun addition to your holiday decor -- on a mantle, bookshelf or table! They'd make a charming, one-of-a-kind gift, too!

I hope you enjoyed my project today -- try it!

Thanks so much for visiting today!!

A Ring of Christmas Tags

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Today I'm featuring a delightful and fanciful set of Christmas tags. It's the official start of the holiday shopping frenzy -- so we can all use a bit of whimsy.

My tags feature Ewe-N-Me Printable Hang Tags - Around the Christmas Tree. These lovely images have a vintage look and really capture the feel of an old-fashioned Christmas. These and all other printables are now 50% Off thru 12/2.

There are four images and you will get two of each on an 8.5 x 11 page. I printed them out on white cardstock -- just gorgeous.

I took four large manila gift tags and stamped them with a Victorian motif in vintage pink. After cutting out the four images I inked the edges with teal and then again with silver. I glue them to the tags and then adorned each with some sparkling snowflakes to give a festive touch.

Using the teal ink, I stamped out "Warm Wishes" and "Christmas" and punched them out with a small oval punch and then added them to the bottom of the tags.

When the tags were finished I thought they'd look fun on a binder ring!! They'd make a fun addition to home decor or a nice touch to a Christmas present!

Thanks for stopping by!
