A soft fabric tag in an absolutely not my style :)

Hello friends!

I'm here with a really quick share of a tag I made for not special reason or occasion - just wanted to make something other than a card.

To make it look not completely simple, I covered it with fabric and added a polyester padding between the fabric and the base.

Used my sewing machine to attach the doily to the tag, as well as the Bingo card (used The Noor! Design stamp to create it):

When you don't feel like making anything big, it's really good to make tags. It's a kind of "soothing crafting" :)

Have a great day and thank you for the visit!

Favorite La-La Land Crafts Product

Hello everybody!

This week we had a new inspiration theme at the La-La Land Crafts blog and we had to answer ourselves a question what our favorite product from La-La Land Crafts was. I guess my answer was pretty obvious - border dies!

Here's my card for this Friday, featuring Paper Doll Marci Christmas Elf and the following dies:
Christmas Hill Border
Lattice Border
Lattice Doily Border
Fancy Christmas Tree
Stitched Elements
Heart Snowflakes
Pretty Poinsettia
Steampunk Clock

Copics used:
Skin: E04, E11, E00, E000, E0000 + RV21
Hair: E11, E15, E18
Outfit: BG02, BG01, BG000, BG0000
             T5, T3, T1

I used the crushed velvet on Marci's outfit trimming, but it's so hard to get a good picture of it!

More details follow:

Pop over to the LLLC blog to have a look at the cards of the rest of the team.

Have a nice weekend!

My blog is your first stop, so without further ado, here's the card I've created using the "Baby Fairy Sipping" from this set.

Copics I used for coloring this cutie are as follows:

Hair: W5, E43, E31, YR31

Wings: V01, V000 + Y04, Y00

Flower: BV29, BV25, BV23, BV20 + BG10

Here are the details for you to have a look at:

Both of the tags may be pulled out (just as I like to do on nearly all of my cards):

For creating this card I mostly used the dies by Noor! Design:

Projects for the Noor! Design DT Call

Hello!

When I saw a post saying that Noor! Design with Tracey Payne are having a DT call I couldn't believe my eyes. I really admire the huge variety of Noor! Design products (especially the dies) and appreciate how fast the brand prospers and grows, surprising its customers again and again with new product lines. I can only imagine the tremendous effort of the leaders and the team standing behind this.

I own a few of the Noor! Design dies and for the DT call in which I decided to try my luck, I prepared several projects (2 cards and 1 mini album).

I posted the fist card today (for the Mo Manning Dream Team Monthly Blog Hop):

The Noor! Design dies I used for creating this card are as follows:

    

  

The next project for the DT call is a mini album:

  

The Noor! Design products used for creating the album are the following:

   

   

The third project is an additional card:

The Noor! Design dies I used in this card are as follows:

   

And now a little about myself:

I'm 34 stay-at-home mom to a 1 year old baby girl. 

I mostly make cards, but for a change I like to make mini albums and various 3D projects too. 

 I create around 3-4 projects weekly & it's not my limit.

I have a page on Facebook (I've started to promote it only a couple of weeks ago),

and an account with several boards on Pinterest. 

I create cards with lots of details, using many dies from different companies and I'm sure that the die cuts in particular (aside from other embellishments) have the power to make a card (or any other project) look stunning. My motto is "make every detail count". Hopefully, this is one of the desirable qualities you are looking for in your DT applicants, along with the fact that they are responsible team-players, which is exactly what I am :)

I'm participating in additional Design Teams, which can give the Noor! Design products another showcasing stage.

That's it! I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks for watching!

Hugs,

Alexandra
