Tag designed by Sharon M. Reinhart April 2020

There is still time to create this adorable Easter tag! The Base tag actually began its life as shipping material from a recent Reno. Being a crafter I knew it would have a great purpose at some point. Recently I decided to cut this marvellous material into tags by die-cutting the cardboard using a Tim Holtz die by Sizzix. A little bit of pink acrylic paint brushed onto the tag creates a nice base.
Next a white doily has been sponged with the same acrylic paint. A die-cut wreath using a Memory Box die serves as a pretty frame for the cute bunny. 
The bunny body is an accordion rosette created with a Tim Holtz die by Sizzix and the Ears have been made using a Heartfelt Creations daisy die and trimming all of the petals away except two. To make the bunny head I have used a Spellbinders circle die and added mini black rhinestones, a punched heart using a Fiskars hand punch and then drawing by hand the balance of the face with a fine point sharpie. 
The sentiment was stamped onto a die-cut stitched banner by Tutti Designs using an older Hero Arts
Stamp. Two additional banner shapes have been layered underneath the sentiment. The finishing 
touches, a little ribbon bow, tied with the aid of a fork. A little trick I learned from a friend that had worked in miniatures. Then some ribbon and twine have been added to the tag hole. This little bunny brought a smile to my face and I hope with everything that is going on in the world at present that she does the same for you!❤️ 

Quick Easter card!

Card designed by Sharon M. Reinhart March 2020

Hello there, just stopping by with a quick little Easter card. This one began its life as a tag, I was creating little tags for favours and I thought this could be a great starting point for a card! The tag base has been created using a Simon Says Stamp die template that has two tags in the set. From there I added some printed paper, a little scalloped edge using a Lawn Fawn die and a stamped sentiment from Photoplay onto a die-cut tag from Impression Obsession which has three different tags in the set. To frame this delicate tag I die cut a wreath shape using the Jovial wreath die template from Memory Box. A few little punched leaves from Martha Stewart Crafts and punched flowers from Stampin’ Up with some adhesive rhinestones finished this card off nicely. The base card is an A2 side fold using pink card stock with a layer of printed card stock from Bo-Bunny. I hope you are inspired to create!

Creatively Yours,

Easter card inspiration!

 Card designed by Sharon M Reinhart February 2020

Sending Easter card inspiration your way! This card is an A2 top fold card. I have tied a ribbon around a green/white printed card stock panel which is slightly smaller than the card base and layered it to the white base card.

Next it’s time to create the main collage! I began with a tag which was die-cut using a Simon Says Stamp die template. Then layered some punched leaves, Martha Stewart Crafts, followed by a punched flower, Stampin’ Up, and an adhesive rhinestone. My next step was to create a little egg collage on each side of the tag. I used Doodlebug Design printed paper and a die from Photoplay. The white eggs were embossed using an older folder from Sizzix. The eggs on each side of center were adhered using foam mounting tape and the other ones with Tombow Mono Multi liquid glue or Scor-tape. I tucked in a leaf spring and adorned one of the eggs on each side with a punched flower and rhinestone. To finish the center tag, the Happy Easter sentiment, Taylored Expressions, was stamped onto a stitched circle shape, Studio Katia, and then layered to shimmer green card stock, which is a 

punched scalloped circle cut in half. The finishing touches here are a flower embellishment and leaf sprig. Hope you are inspired to create! 

Creatively Your,

Here they are! The four projects that we will be working on in our February 13, 2016 class being held at the Thorncliffe Greenview Community Center. The techniques are using Washi tape, thread wrapping, die-cutting, pressure embossing and two different peel off sticker techniques one using tombow markers on vellum. The tag may be created as is, perfect for adhering to a gift bag or a bottle of wine, flavored oils or a box of yummy chocolates, or if desired it can be made into a card. The LOVE card as shown can also be made instead as a Christmas card using an ornament shape and the word MERRY. The class will be held from 1:30 to 4:00 pm. Registration and payment of $25.00 per person is required in advance before February 6th. Please leave me a message if you have any questions or wish to register for this class.
Creatively Yours,
