Tag set

A friend from work asked me to make her a set of tags she could use on gifts. I decided to make 2 sizes - small tags using PTI's Tiny Tags, and a slightly larger set using the smallest Spellbinders Labels 5 die and a coordinating stamp set from Waltzingmouse.  Here are my tags, along with a selection of twine:

And here's how I packaged the tags. The wrap is made out of 2 glassine bags sewn together. I cut the ends off to make a sort of portfolio.  The ribbon is also sewn on.

Best wishes

I have an svg file for cutting rolled roses on my cricut, but it doesn't work so well with felt.  That's because you need to use something like heat n bond to stiffen the felt before the cricut will cut it - ok if your felt item is going to be glued down, but not so useful if you want to roll it up!

Long story short, I ended up buying one of the rolled flower dies from MFT - My Favorite Things. The die cuts very well - even using a scrap of craft store felt for this one.

Take 2 - vintage labels

When I find a sketch or colour combo that I like, I've started making 2 cards - 2 takes on the same layout or element. Here are a couple of cards I made recently which use Very Vintage Labels 5 from Waltzingmouse stamps.

The rosette flower was made by gathering ribbon (using a running stich close to one edge) and layering it on a circle die cut.  I adhered mine using scor tape but you could use fabric glue:

Supplies
Paper - PTI raspberry fizz, hibiscus burst, SU bella rose DSP, pink pirouette
Stamps - PTI background basics: retro, Waltzingmouse very vintage labels 5
Ink - Versafine onyx black, memento rose red dye ink
Accessories -PTI raspberry fizz, hibiscus burst satin ribbon, hibiscus burst button, scor tape, sewing machine, clear embossing powder, kaisercraft clear rhinestones

Make it Monday #6

Two in a row. Can't believe it. Mind you, just sneaking in with this one. It's already Monday here (thank goodness for the international date line).  This week's Make it Monday challenge was to use a partial debossing technique. Actually mine's a partial embossing technique using a cuttlebug folder. I do have some PTI impression plates, but didn't have one which went with this frame.  Here's what I came up with:

Supplies
Paper - PTI plum pudding, lavender moon
Stamps - PTI Asian Fusion (sentiment), Waltzingmouse Very Vintage Labels 5
Ink - PTI plum pudding, fresh snow, vintage tea dye duo
Accessories -Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder, bow easy, PTI lavender moon saddle stitch ribbon, plum pudding button, Martha Stewart rinestones, foam tape
