{ Bread tag Happy Birthday card }

I follow Tessa Wise in my Feedly and she shared a beautiful card with a bread tag. I fell in love with it so much that I made it in my Silhouette Studio. Turns out it’s a Stampin’ Up die – Chalk Talk Framelits Die. Here is a card I made with my tag.

I used all Impression Obsession stamps. The background is CAC Large Dots and the tag is stamped with VersaMark ink and CAC Thick Stripes. I heat embossed the stripes using white embossing powder and then sprayed the tag with Heidi Swapp color shine.
The flowers are Bunch of Blossoms stamps that come with matching dies Bunch of Blossoms. I stamped them with the same colors that I stamped the tags from Banners & Greetings.

What do you think? Do you like the tag? Do you have anything similar? Let me know.

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Emboss It

Seize the Birthday: twine and/or string.

{ Fabulous }

Hello and happy Monday!!! I am enjoying some fresh bread that just came out of my bread machine. I had that thing for years and I forgot about it. Well, we ran out of bread and I found this recipe. It is so good! I make my own bread in the winter, but this is so much easier.

I recently cleaned out my Feedly (it replaces Google reader). Well, I was missing a ton of blogs and upon organizing and cleaning I found more blogs, and all these new challenge blogs. So here I am, with a card, because I wanted to participate in the challenges and share some new files I created.

For this card I used one of my stencils that I made in Silhouette Studio.  Do you remember Crate Paper SLEIGH RIDE Vellum Paper With Gold Foil? If you don’t you can find it HERE. I have that piece of paper and I am saving it. I did use a little bit of it on a project once. Anyway, I made a stencil similar to the paper. See below for a link to download. The stencil is 5x7. I was just playing around to see what it would look like. After I cut it out I made this card so I kept it. I can make a larger one if anyone wants a 12x12.

I have seen these hand drawn circles popping up all over the place and figured I should have some too. I did draw them by hand and then cleaned them up a bunch in Studio. I am sharing three different ones. See below.
The green watercolored tag was left over from another project, but it fits the colors for the color challenge. It’s a Technique Tuesday Label - DIY Steel Die.

“Fabulous” is another Technique Tuesday die Say It - Fabulous by Ali Edwards - DIY Steel Dies. I know the photo is not the best, but I love how layered this looks. I die cut it from cardstock three times to get it that thick. I figured out this awesome way to layer the die cuts using iCraft Adhesive from Therm O Web. I will have to show you.

That is all from me. I hope you enjoy these files and let me know if you have any problems or questions.
