Organizing to Heartfelt Banner Kit Tags...

Do you ever try to take time to organize your craft space?!  Does that time  ever turn into "OH THIS IS SO CUTE I HAVE TO MAKE THIS!" time?!  😂  Well...🙋🙋🙋!!!  I am cleaning out my craft room because I am giving it a mini-makeover.  I am SO EXCITED!  However...I came across a cute kit the other day, had an idea for what I wanted to make with it, and suddenly couldn't do anything else BUT make what was in my head.  😂😂😂  This is a retired kit that is years old (I believe it was a Sale-A-Bration item from 2014!!!!)...the Heartfelt Banner Designer Kit...but LOOK HOW CUTE it is when I turned it into some tags:


I LOVE these a whole bunch!  And it was so much fun to put all the pieces together.  I just added some coordinating cardstock to the mix.  The rest came with the kit!  The kit was designed to make a banner, which also is cute.  But I'm obsessed with these tags! 


Here are some more pics of these darling tags:






What do you have hanging around your room that you are dying to make and use?!  Go for it and do it!  (Especially during this Covid time when we all need more happy and positive things in our life!  💗  Making these seriously warmed my heart and I can't wait to use them!)

I also love this little ocean bundle with the Magenta Madness pop...


The sheer ribbon is gorgeous, especially when you pleat it behind the greeting...

Thanks A Ton...With Stripes!

I "Whaley" love this whale!  What can I say?!  😁  So here is another whale card to share!


SUPPLIES:  (all items are available in my STORE!)

Colors: Pool Party, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight, Coastal Cabana, Soft Sea Foam, Black
Inks:  Misty Moonlight, Coastal Cabana, Soft Sea Foam, Magenta Madness, Pool Party
Cardstock/Papers:  Soft Sea Foam, Whisper White, Shimmery White, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper
Stamps: Whale Done
Tools: Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Whale Builder Punch, Water Painters, Sponge Brayer
AccessoriesWhale of a Time Sequins, Pool Party 3/8" Sheer Ribbon, Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack (White Twine)
 
I have to say...the part I love most about this card is the stripes!  They are super easy to do! First..I just used some Washi Tape to "mask" some stripes on the cardstock.  Then I took the Sponge Brayer and brayered some Pool Party ink over it.  Next, just stamp the fishes over the stripes. 


Then take off the washi and admire.  Hee...



Also a little tip on this cute whale spray...


I just did a little watercolor wash in Coastal Cabana ink onto watercolor paper.  Then punched it out!  How fun is that little detail...I kinda love it. 


I hope you enjoy this card with the fun little details.  😁


Let me know if you have any questions!  I would love to help you with anything!  Thank you so much for visiting!
