Whimsy: Quick and Easy Tags....

I am stopping in today with another post using the most adorable stamps and dies from Whimsy Stamps!

If you follow my blog, you know I like simple.  Quick and easy, clean and simple....its my favorite!  I also like to mass produce things to use.  And when mass producing, if its clean and simple?  Its the best!  

I also love rainbows!  So mix those 2 things together and I'm in!  :)  Today, I created a very quick set of tags using one image from the Whimsy Handmade from Me set.  I chose the heart image that says "for you from me" and created this simple tag.  It would be perfect for Valentines Day!

I stamped one heart on each of the Stitched Tags using the Misti, which of course makes it easy and quick!



These tags can be tied to gift bags, clipped on little gift bags, taped on a package.  The possibilities are endless!

I found coordinating twice to go with each tag so they are gift ready!

So glad you stopped in today!  Hope you are having a great day!  

Whimsy Thanks...

Hello there!  I am stopping in today with my first post as a guest over at Whimsy Stamps!  I have a clean and simple rainbow card to share today, using Bold Banners and the thanks die from Card Builder Many Thanks Dies.  

To create this card, I picked out a rainbow of Fresh Inks...Tomato Red, Tangerine, Buttercup (Amuse Studio), Celery, Teal and Silver Lilac.  I used the back of the "Congratulations" stamp to get this solid banner image.  With this solid image, it is very easy to line up and stamp twice if you don't get the color you want with the first image.   

At the bottom of the card, I added in the "thanks" die.  I went for a glossy accents look and then realized that it needed some sparkle, so I went over it with some microfine glitter.  When using Glossy Accents on thin letters like this, I take a pin and push the glossy accents around to cover all the smaller areas.  Last, I cut down the card front and then added it to a white card base.  

So that is it for my super simple Whimsy card for today.  I have more to share this month so stop back by soon!

Whimsy has an amazing line of stamps and dies, along with digital stamps and great promos on shipping and gifts with purchase.  Head on over to their shop to check it out!


Thanks for coming by and have a great day!

Shaker Tags....

Hey crafty friends!   I am stopping by today to share a couple of tags with you using the Shaper Shaker Tags kit.

This first card was so fun and so easy to make.  I grabbed one tag box, 2 of the same shaped acetate windows and die cut 2 black frames....



I filled the inside of the box with diamonds....of course....and then Pink Pearlies.  I added the back of the tag with the 2nd acetate window to create a see through tag!  Last, I did a little ink blending and added the sentiment on the front.  I tied the tag to the bag with twine and then added in a big pink bow to finish off the gift.  

My next tag is another one that is easy to create.  I used another tag foam box, a piece of acetate, I die cut a white tag frame and then fussy cut another tag for the back of the frame.

I filled the inside with Black Matte Pearlies so they would pop against the white tag.  I did some more ink blending and then attached this celebrate die on the top.  I used some black jute and a black mini clothespin to attach it to my little gift back.  I love how the color really pops against the white.  

The great thing about Queen kits is you can buy refills.  So if you run out of foam tag boxes, you can get more from the store.  Click HERE to see the tag refills.

Queen has lots of kits to chose from.  Check out the selection of shaker kits HERE.

I hope you have enjoyed my tags.  They are so easy to recreate so grab your own kit today and start making some shaker tags!

So glad you stopped in.  Have a great day!

MFT September Product Launch...

Today is Release day over at My Favorite Things.  This month's release has so many fun new stamps and dies.  I saved my most favorite die for today's post.  It's one of 2 Blessings dies that are available right now over at MFT.  

I took my favorite piece of patterned paper from the Fun and Frolic paper pad....can you tell why I love it?  All the rainbows!  I used it to cover a white card A2 sized card base.  Next, I cut a strip of vellum and added that to the front.  The vellum going down over the patterned paper really helps the die cut pop.  Next, I took 4 "blessings" dies cuts in Steel Gray cardstock and stacked them up.  I used some silver thread in between and then attached the blessings die to the card front.  I just love this font.  That is a beautiful word and makes for the perfect simple card to send out during the upcoming holidays.  

There is lots more to see over at the MFT Blog.  Do you have your shopping list ready?  I can't wait to hear what your favorites are so let me know in the comments below.  

Thanks for coming by!
