red white and blue at paper play time

happy monday :) hope your weeks off to a great start :) today our challenge over at paper play time  is red white and blue. be sure to check out the rest of the dts awesome projects! and of course share your stuff with us we love when you do!

for my project i made a fridge magnet using corrugated cardboard.

it measures about 4~1/4 X 3 i just recklessly painted it with acrylic paint

i colored in some unfinished wooden stars using my big mark~its and added some buttons

and added some chipboard letters and ribbons. then adhered magnets to the back. 

super super simple but it looks great on my fridge :) 

thanks so much for the visit your sweet words make me smile thank you so much for that too :) have a fun rest of day or night, and happy crafting! xxxshelly

for this tag i cut out a tag with my cricut and tagsbagsboxesandmore cartridge, then traced it onto a piece of cardboard, cut it out with scissors then pulled off the top piece of paper from the cardboard to expose the corrugated part. then i painted it with distress paint (picket fence) once that dried i applied a bunch of chunky glitter. the tree is cut from the joys of the season cartridge. i inked it up with a little  SU stamp pad and also used my signo white gel pen . i added some clear rhinestones. for the snow mound i applied some snow-tex and more chunky glitter ( sorry couldnt get the photo to show that)

then i finsished it off with this beautiful crinkle ribbon from 3girlsjam (winter bundle, hollyberry and mistletoe .its so gorgeous!) i tied on a cute little silver bell. the star is a hatpin i adhered between my layers of the tree.

hope you like my sweet little tag :) thanks so much for stopping by your sweet comments always make me smile thank you for that too :) happy crafting! xxxshelly
