Vellum Tags for Dies R Us

I am on the Dies R Us blog today,  with a different take on a tag.  We use vellum everywhere, why not on a tag?  Here is what I came up with.

Take any tag die that you have, and cut a frame.  You know, put two of the dies together and 

cut them.  Like this.

Then use the large of the two dies and cut a piece of vellum.  I used my swiss dot vellum here. 

 For this one I used The Frostyville Border by Memory box.

                                                              Frostyville Border

I actually cut the border apart to fit my tag.  Once assembled, I added the ribbon and a snowflake sequin.  This one came together so fast, that I continued to make more.

I realize that with the vellum tags, you may not use them to label your gift, but they sure look good 

to make you package pretty.

For the tags here, I used another Memory box die called Alpine Trees. I just went crazy using 

scraps of paper.  Love it when I can do that.

                                                      Alpine Trees
                                                            Stitched Tunnel Tags
This was a lot of fun for me and I hope that I have inspired you to make some tags today.

Thanksgiving Day card for Dies R Us

We have a few new team members for this term and you will be so inspired by them and the others on this amazing team. I am so excited to be one of them. 

I though it was time to get a few Thanksgiving cards done and I did this one for you today.

It is a simple wreath on a panel with fall colored accents.  Let me show you how I did this.
Base is Tomato Soup card stock from Gina K designs.  Then a layer of White card stock,  with the Frantic stamper Elements #16 Stitched Rectangle Frames. I have used this die many times, but this time, I embossed it with the soft pad on my Big Shot.  Then I cut down the panel to a 3 3/4 X 5.  That way you can see all of the stitching on the edges.

To make the wreath, I used two of the stitched circles from Tutti Designs to make the right size for my wreath. 

 Then I die cut some white for the leaves on my wreath from IO Leaves.

 I used Elizabeth Craft dies Hydrangea to cut a lot of little flowers to decorate my wreath. I used scraps of paper in fall colors. Green, gold and red.  You get the idea.

Cut apart the leaves into smaller pieces and glued them on the wreath and added the flowers, and some little gold beads in the middle.

Don't forget to put something on the inside too. 

I finished the card with a gold heat embossed sentiment.

MSC - October - Fall Fest!

It is my turn to be the challenge host at the Mod Squad this week. I love the fall time of year with it's cooler weather and beautiful colors and lots of yummy food.  I went all out with two cards as examples for this challenge.
I just want you to do a project that reminds you of FALL.

 Both of these cards are done with the same stamp set, Feeling Fall, by Power Poppy.

The supplies for this card are:
GKD card stock in Sweet Mango and Turquoise Sea
Dies Simon Says Postage Stamp Edge Frame
distress ink in Antique Linen
Pearls from my stash.  I stamped and colored the image of the boots and fussy cut out a few leaves.
You get a peak at the inside of this card above.

 I used some gold twine around the die cut and I just love how the large letters look done this way. 
Recipe for this card:
GKD card stock in Tomato Soup, design paper from PTI Autumn Abundance
Dies: Spellbinders Scalloped Border Two and Simon Says. Lunch box Notes and Altenew Alphabet
Wink of Stella and gold twine.

                       I used a strip of design paper on the left side
                   and stamped a few leaves on the top for the inside.


I sure hope that you are inspired and I am excited to see what you will do for this challenge.

Thanks for joining in the Mod Squad Challenge this week.
