Party Bag/Survival Kit Tags

Happy hump evening friends ~

Last month a colleague at work asked if I could make her a bunch of tags (16 actually) that she could add to some party bags she was putting together. The bags were to contain Champagne, Berocca, Panadol and the like. She belongs to a really fun group who socialise and travel overseas annually - with the women being called Grasshoppers and the men Ants. Don't ask me!

Obviously the tags had to have something to do with Grasshoppers! This is what I came up with - I should add that I had about 24 hours notice for this little jobbie.


I used that fabulous little 'hopper from Bugs & Kisses, stamping it once on my tag and then a second time so I could fussy cut the body and 'pop' on top (saves cutting around the legs). I slathered Crystal Effects all over the body too.

Base tag is textured Crumb Cake c/s, with Certainly Celery and Whisper White on top. I used Craft white ink and the Polka Dot b/g stamp and some Certainly Celery grosgrain ribbon adhered with Sticky Strip, finishing with a touch of bling - just because.

My work colleague with thrilled with her tags. Phew!

JAI#46...Just Add Critters

Happy Friday lovely people ~

We have a super exciting and fun challenge over at Just Add Ink this week. So so so many options for this one. Funny thing is I didn't come up with anything too outstanding. I had so many ideas running through my head but when it came to sitting and actually doing I was a bit stumped. Talk about decisions ... what stamp set to use, which colours and papers ... you get the idea.

The perfect boy card don't you think? Nice and bright and there are obligatory critters!!!

I've used Real Red, Pear Pizzazz and Pacific Point c/s and inks, Celebrations dsp, Real Red Grosgrain ribbon and my spiral border, 1 3/8 & 1 1/4 circle punches along with a few dimensionals.

Do go over and check out the fantastic JAI design team inspiration this week ... you may even find Noahs Ark :o)
