Sunset Sentiments


Here is a really easy card I created using the Sunset Sentiments #SS155 from the Technique Junkies June 2022 release.


I started with a piece of Bristol Smooth white cardstock and created a mask using a sticky circle and a piece of Mint tape and ink blended the sunrise using Distress Oxides. I then flipped my mint tape and colored the sand.  All that was left to do was stamp on the sentiment and add the embellishments!

ArtStacks Tag Booklet


For this little tag book with “see-through” windows, I used Art Stacks’ Lorraine Haight Moraine BackStack and Altered Ancestors packs. The tags are all double sided and three of them have space for journaling.








Here’s how I made my project . . .

First I used a tag die from my stash to cut the tags in a uniform size. Two of the tags were cut from acetate, and the other six were cut using paper from the Lorraine Haight Moraine BackStack. I used alcohol inks and added a little foil to the acetate tags!  I punched different sized circles from various papers from Lorraine Haight Moraine BackStack and fussy cut figures from the Altered Ancestors pack and adhered them to my tags.  I stamped all of the words for my tags with alphabet stamps.

I cut strips of paper, scored them down the middle, and glued them to the paper tags making a hinge. Next, I used special (Fabri-tac) glue to adhere the other sides of the hinges to the acetate tags to make a 5-page, accordion tag book. I reinforced the hinges with washi tape and created paper “reinforcers” with the Lorraine Haight Moraine BackStack papers.  Finally, I added glitter glue, various ribbon, fabric and lace to my tags.
