Festive tag

I hope you all had a fun and safe 4th of July.

I had to work in the morning, but got to enjoy some fireworks in the evening. 

Today I am sharing with you my creation for the new challenge up at Anything but a Card

This month it's an open or anything goes theme... 

Welllll anything but a card that is!!!

So I am sharing my festive tag,

I used Tim Holtz's mini blueprint stamps, and some distress markers and inks.

I am just loving the way the inks move on the distress watercolor paper.

Honestly this tag was a breeze to create. 

The hardest part was that I glued on the wood veneers before I stitched, 

so I ended up having to stitch around the veneers!

At the last minute I pulled out my old Dymo and added the Brave tag.

I do hope you are having a festive weekend,

Either here or abroad I wish you all a wonderful weekend, and week ahead!

Sheri Crafts: 4th of July

Pinwheels for the 4th

I missed the fireworks show last night, but hope to make it tonight...

Please Please Please remember that the 4th of July is the day that the most pets get lost,

so make sure your animals are safe at home before you head out for the show!

Ok, so here are the much anticipated pinwheels!

We strung them up around our supervisor's desk!

You can find the tutorial here

They honestly were super easy to make! 

What fun 4th of July project did you do?

Please be safe and sound this holiday, and thank a service person for all they have done for our country!



Stars and Stripes

Quickie 4th of July Project! 

My supervisor at work LOVES to decorate for any holiday!  So she ran to Michaels on her lunch break yesterday, and brought back these fun stars! 

This morning she handed them out to everyone and said "create!"

So create I did! 

This is the front and back or back and front of my star

I used my ranger inks with punchinella and then made some stars punched out of cardboard painted gold...
The inked dots are outlined in red glitter glue!

Then on the other side I drew lines using my copics and other markers, and a little bit of glitter glue, and a bunch of imagination!

It was super fun to have craft day at work! 

Tomorrow I'll be featuring a pinwheel garland! (or maybe even later today if I can't wait to post it!)

Happy Independence day!  Thank a service person for all they've done for this great country today and every day!
