Spring Gift Tag

Good afternoon!

Over the past few months I've seen some really beautiful gift tags on my adventures through the blogosphere. I love making greeting cards so I decided to make my first gift tag and can't wait until the opportunity arises to attach it to the present of someone special.

I decided to fray the edges to give my tag a softer look.

I glued a small flower on a light colored wooden bead that I slipped my ribbon into. The bead slides up and down for the opening size that I need.

What I used -

1. Premium Cardstock by Core'dinations
2. Spellbinders Shapeabilities Die D-Lites - Fantastic Flourish One
3. Martha Stewart Crafts Punch Around the Page - Double Arches
4. Fiskars Border Punch - Double Bubble
5. ek Success Flower Punch
6. Recollection Mini Daisy Punch
7. ek Success Slim Edger Paper Punch

Happy Crafting!

Spring Card with Vase of Flowers

Good afternoon everyone!

Today I'm sharing a card with silk flowers in a vase. I recently decided to put the embossing folders back into use and I'm glad I did because the embossed butterflies really look cute with the punched butterfly.

 I left space open for a greeting between the flower and butterfly above, but I think this card looks nice without a sentiment too. I used two shades of turquoise crafting card-stock, then inked the embossed paper with Tim Holtz Distress ink in the color Peakcock Feathers to make some of the details stand out.

 I used three butterflies to make this by gluing a lighter turquoise butterfly to each wing of the darker one.

To create a vase I pulled a small piece of paper into a cone shape and then cut off the bottom. I also applied the same distress ink as mentioned above to give it more depth and then to make it sturdy I applied glossy accents.

 The embossing folder is a large strip made by Darice.

Happy Crafting!
