TAWS post #99 - Happy Birthday

Hi Friends!  Meredith here for my final Alley Way post.  It's been an amazing year with this wonderful crafty team.  Thank you Alison and Chrissie so much for this fantastic opportunity.  I will miss being a part of such a phenomenal group.  For my last creation I used Happy Everything in combination with Branching Out to make this fun birthday card for my darling husband.

Thanks so much for following along with my Alley Way crafty adventures.  I will likely be taking a bit of a crafty break for a while but will be back!

Happy Christmas and wishing you a wonderful New Year!

Crafty Hugs!

TAWS post #98 - Merry Christmas Tag!

Hi Friends!  Meredith here with a super simple tag using Point of View, Cake Day and Happy Everything.  I have very little time right now so I'm putting together tags that are easy to mass produce so that I can adorn my gifts!  

I used a few different Hero Arts ink for both the background and the present images.  I used my Hero Arts black dye ink for my sentiment. 

I punched two holes at the top and used some heavy gold cording.

I hope your holiday planning is fun and productive!

Crafty Hugs!

TAWS post #93 - Tags!

Hi Friends!!  I'm here today with a fun holiday tag using the new set called Melt Your Heart Out and it's free right now with the purchase of $85 or more! (before tax and shipping).  I used this set to make a few tags to add to some delicious jars of peppermint rock candy that I made with my children. I also used the new set Happy Everything for the sentiment.

I, once again, took inspiration from Jennifer McGuire in a video she did recently showing the "halo" technique that I did above.  I stamped my image and colored it with my Copic markers.  I then created a mask for my image and sponged over the top with Hero Arts ink in Butter Bar.  I used the Fishtail Banner Stax Die-namics from MFT to cut my tag.  The beautiful twine is from May Arts and I purchased it at Simon Says Stamp.

I'm using these tags to decorate some of our handmade items for the holidays!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

TAWS post #92 New Release Blog Hop - Happy Everything

Hi Friends!  Thanks SO much for joining me today on the Alley Way's final blog hop!  I've put together my project today using a fantastic multi-sentiment set using the set called Happy Everything.

I also used another new set called Point of View.  Totally adorable!  I added some gold heat embosseed hearts for a bit of shine and texture.  I used Delicata gold pigment ink and gold heat embossing powder from Recollections (Michael's house brand).

I combined both sets to make many different holiday cards to send to friends and family.  These sets are fantastic together!  

Thanks so much for coming by today!  You will find the entire hop list below so that you can follow along!

TAWS post #91 Peek Day 1 - Point Of View

Hi Friends!  I'm here today with my last sneak peek for The Alley Way Stamps!  This set is ADORABLE!  It's called Point of View and it has so many cute mini borders.  Here I've used the adorable polka dot border combined with another new set called Happy Everything which includes the sentiment and tiny stars.

I've used some Hero Arts ink and my Delicata gold ink combined with gold embossing powder to give this simple design a bit of texture.

Thanks so much for coming by today!
