I have a few projects to share with you today that I made for the Spellbinders New Collections Blog Hop. There are several very talented designers sharing projects today using stamps and dies from the four new collections. My projects were all made using dies from Becca Feeken’s A Charming Christmas collection.

My first set of projects were made using the Shapeabilities Charming Round Tag. The possibilities are endless with all the dies that come in this sweet set. I especially love making tags with a country Christmas feel so I embellished mine with gingham bows and sprigs of evergreen.

Mittens Tag

The tag was cut once in white and again in red. I used one of the decorative insert dies to cut openings out of the top and bottom portion of the red die and then attached it over the white using double stick tape. The mittens were attached together with glue dots and then attached to the top of the tag with glossy accents. I attached a gold ornament topper and evergreen sprigs using glossy accents and then attached a multi loop gingham bow with glue dots to finish.

Deer Tag

The tag was cut once in red and again in white. used one of the decorative insert dies to cut openings out of the top and bottom portion of the white tag and then attached it over the red tag using double stick tape. The deer charm was colored using mini applicators and Antique Linen and Vintage Photo inks. It was attached to the tag using pieces of mounting tape. I attached a gold ornament topper and evergreen sprigs using glossy accents and then attached a multi loop gingham bow with glue dots to finish.

Joy Tag

The tag was cut once in white and again in red. I used one of the decorative insert dies and Joy sentiment insert die to cut openings out of the top and bottom portion of the red die and then attached it over the white using double stick tape. I attached the gold ornament topper to the ornament using glossy accents. The evergreen sprigs were attached to the center of the tag using glossy accents and then I finished it by attaching the bow using glue dots.

The Angel Ornament Card

The Tallulah frame was cut in white and was attached to the red card base with pieces of mounting tape. I cut the two angel sections using white cardstock. Both angel pieces have slits that allow them to fit together to create a dimensional ornament. I secured the front angel wings to the back wings using small piece of mounting tape. Next, I applied pieces of mounting tape to the back of the angel ornament and attached it to the card base. I ran a piece of gold metallic string through the angel topper and then attached it to the frame using glue dots. I continued the country Christmas theme with the evergreen branches and multi loop bow to finish the angel card.

Die Cut Thank You Tag

Aug 20, 2018 | Die Cut, Flowers, Rubbernecker, Tags | 6 comments

I have a pretty die cut thank you tag to share with you today. Before I start my project description I want to say how much I enjoyed working with Rubbernecker Stamps this past weekend at the Scrapbook Expo in Schaumburg, IL. and meeting so many paper crafters. I was especially thrilled to meet Beverly Barton, one of my fellow friends from Splitcoaststampers.

My project was made using Rubbernecker Nested Tag Stitch, Leaf Group, Pots With Scallops, Tiny Flower Buds, Flower Stems, Grass and Best Friends stamp set.

Die Cut Thank You Tag Background Layer

I began by cutting the largest tag die using white cardstock and then cut the small circular hole for the ribbon. Next, I used a cloud template, ink blending tool and Tumbled Glass ink to create the soft cloudy background. I stamped the thank you sentiment on the background with VersaFine Onyx Black.

The Tag Frame and Grass

I used the two largest tag dies to cut the frame. I lined the tags up in place on my magnetic platform to form the frame and cut. I used double stick tape to attach two grass sections to the back of the frame. Next, I applied thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the frame and attached it to the background layer.

The Flower Pot Foliage

I cut the flower pots in the same blue card stock to match the frame. I highlighted the scallop border on the pots by applying white Nuvo Crystal Drops and added a few polka dots to the pots to finish. Once the crystal drops were totally dry I began arranging the foliage and flowers. For the largest pot I cut a section of the Leaf Group and cut the branches apart. I attached the smaller pieces of foliage to the back of the pots with glossy accents and then worked my way back adding larger pieces of foliage to create height. I cut several sections of flower stems to use in the smaller pots. I attached the stems to the pots using glossy accents, starting with the trimmed off shorter sections and then adding taller stems behind them.

The Flowers

I cut the tiny flowers in pink and again in white. I used my smallest tip stylus and molding pad to form all the flowers. Next, I attached three flowers in a cluster formation on scrap cardstock using glossy accents. Once the adhesive was dry and the buds were secure I cut around them to create my tiny cluster flowers. I arranged the flowers on the foliage and attached with glossy accents. I added the close up picture above to show the sparkle that I added using the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my die cut thank you tag. It seems most of us think of making tags only for Christmas presents but they can also dress up a present for any occasion. Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a great week.

Die Cut Tag and Flower

Jun 12, 2018 | Die Cut, Rubbernecker, Tags | 9 comments

My project today is a die cut tag and flower with a sentiment. I think we tend to think that tags are just for Christmas presents but they can really be made for gifts of any occasion. I think this feminine tag in pink, white and green would be perfect for a graduation, birthday or promotion. Any occasion that you want to convey a best wishes message or any kind of sentiment that you wish.

The Tag

This tag was really fast and easy to make. I cut the two largest sizes, secured the the white tag in my MISTI and stamped the sentiment using black Versafine ink.

The Flower and Foliage

I cut the flower sections and formed them using my stylus and molding pad. I attached the layers together using glossy accents. Note that I cut the largest flower layer in green to create a foliage base for the flower. I cut the foliage pieces and gently rolled the leaves with my fingers.

Assembling the Die Cut Tag and Flower

I attached the two tags together using ATG adhesive. I attached the flower to the tag using glossy accents. Then I tucked the foliage pieces under and around the flower an attached using glossy accents. I added a pre made white Nuvo Crystal Drop to the center of the flower and added a pink knot of ribbon to the tag for the finishing touch.

Thank you so much for coming by and I hope you have been inspired to pull out your die cut tag and flower dies and sentiment sets to create your own “Birthday Wish”, “Congratulations” or even a “Thinking of You” tag.
