Field Flowers Tag

I have been inspired to create some tags by CherylAnn.  She has been sharing some fabulous tags lately and I thought I would give it a try.

I created this for an Open House I held last weekend.  I wanted to create something that gave everyone a chance to see some of the new In-colours and to touch some of the new product in the newly released Idea Book and Catalogue.

I ran some Calypso Coral card through the Big Shot using the Stripes Embossing Folder.  I punched a strip of Wisteria Wonder card using the new Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch and attached it behind the top of the Embossed card.  This piece was attached to the lower edge of the Whisper White tag.  I stamped the stem image from the Field Flowers stampset using Lucky Limeade onto the tag.  The flowers were stamped using Wisteria Wonder ink.  The flower is a tw0-step flower and so I stamped off once before stamping the base image and then used the same ink with the second image.  This gives a lighter and deeper impression of the same colour.  I stamped the words from the same stampset using Wisteria Wonder ink.  Lastly I punched a 1 3/8″ circle from Calypso Coral card and folded it in half and attached it to the top of the tag.  I used the Crop-A-Dile to punch a hole and then threaded some Wisteria Wonder 3/8″ ruffled ribbon through the hole.

A simple tag but I think it turned out pretty and I could use it either on a gift bag, card front or scrap page.  I have to say that I absolutely love this flower.

The second tag uses the Creative Elements stampset.  I stamped the large floral swirly image onto the Whisper White tag using River Rock ink and sponged the edges with the same ink.  I stamped the floral border image down the left hand side of the tag using Marina Mist ink.  I stamped the frame image onto Whisper White card using Cherry Cobbler ink and stamped “happiness” from the Fabulous Phrases stampset using the same ink.  The image was then cut out and attached to the tag.  I stamped the butterfly image from the Creative Elements stampset onto Whisper White card using Marina Mist ink and cut it out.  I attached the butterfly to the tag using dimensionals under the wings and a glue dot in the centre to give it some dimension.  I stamped the flower image from the Creative Elements stampset onto Whisper White ink using Cherry Cobbler ink four times.  I cut the full flower out once and the other three times cut smaller and smaller sections of the flower.  I attached each layer on top of each other using dimensionals and then attached it to the tag using Mini Glue dots.  I punched a 1 3/4″ circle from Cherry Cobbler card, folded it in half and attached it to the top of the tag.  I used my Crop-A-Dile to punch a hole and then threaded Whisper White 5/8″ Organza ribbon through.

Here you can see the dimension in the flower and the butterfly.  I love this set.  It has lots of different “elements” to create endless projects.  I look forward to using it again and again.

I’d love to hear what you think.

Bye for now, Kris.
