Quick Gift Packaging using items from SpiegelMomScraps!

Wow, it's been too long! I've had a bit of illness and then a lovely and wonderful VACATION which was sorely needed!!! I hope you have all been having a lovely summer, mine has been different. But my vacation with DH was LOVELY and I am now a bit refreshed and ready to go again.
I brought back some candy cigarettes for my co-workers (they are all over 21 so I'm not influencing minors). And decided they needed to be dressed up a bit to be gifted.

I also made a video of these being put together... I didn't film the making of the tag but I used a new Rebekah Meier stencil and a stamp from Lawn Fawn for the tags.

Clique Printable HB2U

It's not a secret at this blog that I LOVE my Clique Kits! Someone posted their video today and I'm so jelly that I don't have my kit yet ;). What I do have, is the printables and the cut files. I was off work today so I decided to print the printables and cut them apart to have ready to dive into when my kit arrives, I also went ahead and diecut the cut files out of black cardstock. Then I was inspired to go ahead and make a card. I can print and cut more of these out... and I needed a cool birthday card. I started my card by clustering together a handful of the printables and gluing them all together. Then I dug out some Thickers (pink foam glitter Thickers) and stuck the text version of Happy Birthday in the corner of the polaroid diecut. I needed a good background on my card base, So I pulled out some Altered Orange Studio Paint (really glad I did, it's starting to dry up and was THICK) and got my favorite The Crafter's Workshop Stencil out and Stencilled on what I like to think of as "The Death Star Window" pattern. It took four times of repositioning the stencil and spackling more paint on to get the background covered so that I was happy. Then I took some foam tape and covered the back of my printables cluster with it and added the cluster to the front of the card.
Super easy and I LOVE IT!!!

I LOVE THIS CARD!!!
