April Tag

 
 
Hi Everyone,  Here is my April Tag that I created for the Tag Challenge that my friend Gunilla and I decided to do this year. The theme for this challenge is Spring, so I decided to use the Graphic 45 Secret Garden Design Papers and Embellishments again. They are beautiful and remind me so much of Spring.
 
For my tag, I added some Secret Garden Design Paper to the front and back of the tag. I cut out a piece from the Design Paper that had a bracket and the words Secret Garden on it and added it to the tag along with some dollies that I cut die using Cheery Lynn Designs French Pastry Tiny Doily #DL 234.  I love this little doily die and it cuts out the cutest little doilies to add to any project. I also die cut the Magnolia DooHickey Volume 3 Birdcage and Key out of some Antique Gold Cardstock that I found at the Paper Source and placed them in the pocket along with a ticket and the framed Spring with bird that were from the embellishments. I added some Wild Orchid Crafts Roses and All Natural Accents Daisies to the outside of the pocket. The crocheted lace at the bottom of the tag is from my stash. I added a little bit of white glue to the edges of the crocheted lace to help it from fraying.
 
 
Thank you for stopping by my blog and I hope you like the tag that I created for the challenge. It's nice to try something different. I normally like to make things with pink papers and cute images. :)  Please hop on over to Gunilla's Blog to see the very cute tag that she has created.
 
Have a wonderful day!!
 
Big Hugs,

March Tag


Hi Everyone, Here is my March Tag that I created for the Tag Challenge that my friend Gunilla and I decided to do this year.  We decided to use some beautiful Graphic 45 Secret Garden Collection Design Papers and Embellishments that I had found at Tuesday Morning awhile back.

For my tag, I die cut Poppystamps Vintage Bird Cage #802 out of some Antique Gold Cardstock that I found at the Paper Source. I fussy cut the bird and flowers out of one of the Design Papers and added them to the bird cage. I also added some tiny flowers that I punched out using a Recollections Flower Punch and added Hero Arts Pearls to the centers. I placed them on a tag from the Collection. I added some dollies behind the tag that I die cut using Cheery Lynn Designs French Pastry Tiny Doily #DL 234.  Then I added a chipboard butterfly that is also from the Collection. I went around all the edges of everything with Encore Gold Pigment Ink.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and I hope that you will hop on over to Gunilla's Blog to take a look at the beautiful tag that she has created.

Until next time, I hope you have a wonderful Spring!

Big Hugs,
Suzan
