Lawnscaping Blog Hop: All About RED!

Welcome to the Lawnscaping "RED" blog hop.

This theme is all about RED!!! The hop runs from Friday, December 9th - Sunday, December 11th! Make sure to comment on all of the blogs because there are LOTS of prizes to be won! All the details can be found on the Lawnscaping home page. The hop is being sponsored by some amazing companies like Lawn Fawn, Mold Muse and Whiskers Graphics!
You should have come from Melania Deasy's blog.



The challenge was to use at least one Lawn Fawn stamp and feature the color red.
I used "Critters in the Burbs" for the birthday card.
I was planning to use the dog, but the recipient is a cat lover so here kitty kitty!
The kitty was colored with Prismacolor pencils. 
There's a little Glossy Accents on her nose.



The little tag was stamped with Harold's ABC's.

I punched holes in the kitty's mouth to hold the wire-stemmed flower


Dimension for the kitty and flower added with pop dots:

WM78 & BG58: Birthday wine tag

Hello.
I am back again with another wine tag.
My niece's 21st birthday is this month and I thought it would be cute to give her a bottle of our favorite wine, Ste. Chateau Michelle Riesling, 2010, and a nice opener.
Of COURSE, I had to decorate the bottle!




The "happy birthday" cs sticker is from the BG collection. 
I misted it with perfect pearl/water mist.



The balloons are actually from the egg image on the Doodlecharms cartridge.
I cut each 3 times and sandwiched the wire between 2 and then used the last one to cover the front for a cleaner look.  Then, I added a thick coat of Glossy Accents.



The papers are all from Basic Grey's "Cupcake" collection.
The BG challenge this time was to use an item found around the house.

I used an ornament hanger to be my balloon "strings".
My MM wire was too thin and the hanger was perfect!

L23, SSS, WM78: Wine Tag

Howdy!
Sharing a wine tag featuring Lawn Fawn Stamps and Echo Park paper.
Both pieces are reusable.  The wrap is held on with one glue dot and can be slipped off.
I had so much fun making this tag. 
I had two goals when making it.
I didn't want to be limited by the size of the tag (overhang)
and I wanted to USE product (stop hoarding).




The ribbon on the packages were paper pieced and
jazzed up with Stickles and Glossy Accents. 
The little red gift is raised with dimensional foam.
