Simple Tags - 東京アンティークスタンプ

Hi, there!
 This is a quick post. Made these simple tags last friday for coming this year's gift season. Finished creating 20 maybe in an hour. But, just only five is left at the moment. 'Cos I was away past last weekend and used almost of them. So I just captured them! Haha. - I know that I can't keep supply and demand in balance.

Click the photo above to enlarge, please.

 This tag measures 2.5"W X 4"H. I'm very fond of this size of tag to write a simple message for the receiver with a small gift or a flower bouquet etc. or to use like a note.

日本のお友達の中には、こちらのスタンプがお好みの方は多いはず♪
さほど量産されていないことと、少々お高め・・というところがネックですが、やはり大人向けの可愛いスタンプとしては秀逸！！　多分公開するのは初めてだと思いますが、気に入ったデザインを見つけては、時々使っています*^^*

Stamp used:
Tokyo Antique stamp (made in Japan)
Other supplies:
Bazzill white smooth CS
Tsukineko Versa Fine / Onyx Black, Pigment marker, watercolor pencils, hemp cord

 I haven't visit here and there to see fabulous works by my friends or Frickr members since last week. So Sorry!
I came to be more busy suddenly (though this month was expected the very busy month in my schedule) related on two fantastic news on my clients!
Want to drop in your blogs and flickr pools ASAP!

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a beautiful week!

Christmas tag for the Caardvarks Challenge #2

Hi, everyone!
 September has just begun! How are you today?
After submitting my tags to entry yesterday midnight, I tried to make some again (Of course, I took my sleep time!), and just finished one more tag for the Caardvarks August challenge. Wanted to make the round shaped tag like the JustRite stampers, the sponsor of this challenge, but the result was..., please see below!
I could be in time for the deadline? Or? Anyhow, it was worth trying to create three Christmas tags in two days for me. :)

 Thank you so much Caardvarks for the wonderful challenge to have the opportunity to start thinking about something for this Christmas season!

Here is my new tag.

 This image has been in my brain since I ordered the Silly Scape stamp. This kind of composition and the elements can be seen in many Christmas images over the world. But I did want to try with it and other stamps!

Stamp used:
Hero Arts: Silly Scape / K5425, Three Holiday Messages / LL956
Inkadinkado stamps (Santa Claus and reindeers)
Other supplies:
Bazzill CS
Tsukineko Versa Fine / Onyx Black
Ranger Distress Ink / Stormy Sky, Wild Honey, Embossing Powder / Espresso, Liquid Pearl / Cranberry
Hero Arts Shadow Ink / Soft Pool, Soft Stone, Snowflake sequins
Stampendous / Fun Flock, Cloud 9 Design / Metallic eyelet
genuine leather, button, color pencils, Copic colorless blender

 And, thank you so much everyone for your lovely comments for my yesterday's post! There're many places in severe weathers in the world. Glad to hear from you and please take care, too!
 I have some rest from now on, and I'm going to play on the internet after the temperature comes to be cool down a little.
Work, or not work (= my computers) ???, that is the question. Until then, my friends! ;)


Thanks for stopping by!
Have a beautiful week!

Christmas tags for the Caardvarks Challenge

Hi, everyone!
 Finally, I finished a few small projects for the Caardvarks August challenge.
I haven't made time for it, though I noticed it at the begining of this month. Literally, I made a small tag and a tag shaped slider card. To tell you the truth, I have to start my work...　But the intense heat weather disturbs me. So I played with my stamps tonight, despite I really have troubled that my computers work SLOW.

 Thank you so much Caardvarks for the wonderful challenge to have the opportunity to start thinking about something for this Christmas season!

Here are my tags (3.5"H x 2.25"W), 'Peace on earth'.

This is an extra photo.

 The left one is the slider card to use a Hitch Fastener by Tim Holtz idea-ology. For the right tag, I used a left-over genuine leather for its strap.
The globe graphic was made to use Adobe Illustrator. And, I doodled a holly tree at the upper letter 'P' on each. Really enjoyed making these. :)

Stamp used:
Stampendous stamps (bird, sentiment)
Other supplies:
Bazzill and American Crafts CS, letter paper
Tsukineko Versa Fine / Onyx Black, Memento Tuxedo Black
Ranger Distress Ink / Stormy Sky, Liquid Pearl / Baby Blue, Distress Stickles / Picket Fence
Hero Arts Shadow Ink / Soft Pool, Soft Green, Snowflake felt & sequins
Stampendous / Fun Flock, Tim Holtz idea-ology / Hitch Fastener, Cloud 9 Design Metallic eyelet,
Copic Markers, Color pencils, ribbon, genuine leather, button, ball chain


To my dear friends:
 My summer holiday season was already over on my schedule. But it has been intense heat days - it was over 37C (= about 100F) the day before yesterday. Now, it's 32C (11:55PM). Terrible! :(
My computers work really slow and heat dreadfully. The one was broke by its heating... So, I played with my stamps and took pics tonight. The holly tree and the snow shaped lights was prepared for my work to take pics for the Christmas images, and I used them for my tags. Haha.
I came to be better, thank you.

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a beautiful week!

Friendship tag shaped card

Hi, everyone!
 I'd like to share you a card finished yesterday.
I made this one to put into the binder pocket for my friend.

Here is the tag shaped card.

Wanted to have this a soft look and the Japanese traditional feel.
Stamped Old french Writing with distress ink and put Ranger perfect pearl Rust on it. And then, heat-embossed with Gold-pearl powder to use the Cling Floral Garden (I stamped it a little slanted.) And colored with distress inks with foam brush. Sprayed a mist of Perfect pearl with water for finishing the center piece.


This is a closeup photo around the layered flower.

The flower on the right above has the layers of the watercolor paper and the vellum. Put those flowers together slightly off-set. I also colored with distress inks on a vellum flower, and put the Perfect Pearls on it.

Christmas tree tags

Hi, everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
I have a little bit post tonight.
It seems that the theme of Hero Arts' this week's challenge is making tag. - I just accessed their blog for the first time in about 3 weeks. I didn't make time for it and for peeking Frickr pool at all.
And, SO MANY THANKS and APOLOGIZE to you, the visitors and friends for your kind words and e-mails <3, despite I didn't update this blog at all.

The Christmas tree tags I intoroduce you today is not for HA challenge. (There's a tag I used HA sentiment stamp at the back side though.)
These had been creating since about two weeks ago, and I finally finished them recently and shipped to some of my friends with gift or thanks card.

Sorry, this is not a good photo. :(
Used the same stamp and made same layering, but I did them different materials for each. From the left, the vintage look (like Victorian), a little aged look, and the modern look. I changed the kind of inks, embelishments, and glittered glues for the receivers.
All the coloring for the trees is several Perfect Pearls. And then, I added the glittered glue on it.

supplies: Stampington Company stamp etc.

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a beautiful day! :)

Tag for my friend (Stampers Anonymous)

Hi! I have one more post today.
Made this tag for one of my needlework friends, Ms. N on last Saturday. She e-mailed me to receive this today. So I wanted to share you.

I didn't know whether she likes grungy look or not. So I made this to use pretty colors. Mainly blended the Distress Inks and added to spray the Perfect Pearl mist for the background.

The birds was colored with Liquid Pearls (with water medium) after stamped with an acrylic dabber.
All the stamps are Stampers Anonymous. And the metals and the grungeboard are Tim Holtz, idea-ology.
Thanks for looking!
