Creative Inspirations Paint- Thinking of You and a Tag Box- My Farewell post.

 This is my last posting with the Creative Inspirations Paints DT- I have really enjoyed this DT and LOVE the paints! If you happen to see a DT call- I highly recommend it!
  My first project is a card for my SIL who had surgery last week- she LOVES clowns- so I had to grab this great freebie from McMahon Five Designs and I made this card:

I colored the image with Copic Markers and highlighted the red neck ruffle with Garnet CI paint. I also added CI paint to the dots on the background. The Nestabilities are the Fancy Tags and Lotus dies.  I added a zig-zag border on my sewing machine with metallic silver thread. Here is a close-up of the shimmer:

  I enjoy the images SO much at McMahon Five Designs that I have applied and accepted a position for the DT for the Jan-March term!  I am very excited and I hope you will stop by to see my weekly posts.
  I am entering this card in a Challenge at Fairy Doodlers Friday Freebie- where this image is FREE

  I also made a Holiday project with a group of tags from Boni Bleaux Designs- more details with the dimensions below (the site is on/off under construction/updating to be more user friendly):

 I colored the tags with Copic Markers and/ OR Creative Inspirations Paints. The poinsettias are Garnet CI paint, the tree has Silver, Blue, Red and Purple CI paint, the snowman is colored with Copics and I used Fairy Dust CI paint. I used Liquid Applique on the beard and mustache the snowman hat, and stocking.

 For the Poinsettia tag, I rotated it 180 degrees on the paper, and left open cardstock on the opposite side so I could fold the tag and write on the inside.  Once it was printed off, I scored a line right at the top of the tag and folded the cardstock, then cut the tag out two layers at a time.












For the inside of the box- the measurements with vary depending on your tag box.

For my box, I made a template with copy paper first.  I cut my cardstock 8" long x 3 3/8" wide.
I scored at 1 1/2", 2 14", 3"  and then turned the cardstock around to score the other side- my round tags are a touch larger than the Santa tag, so I scored the second side 1 7/8", 2 5/8" and 3 3/8".  This will leave a center section for tags or ribbons/fibers.

 This would keep little ones busy for some time- I would print the tags out a touch bigger and ....enjoy a little bit of peace! 
Merry Christmas to everyone!
