winter tag set | echo park paper

 We are having the snowiest winter we've had in a very long time!

It's simply magical and oh, so beautiful!

In honor of this magical winter, I created this set of circle shaped tags for 

Echo Park Paper using their "The Magic of Winter" collection.

Aren't those snowmen and penguins so adorable?

I used these supplies to make my tags:

autumn tag set

It's a beautiful autumn morning, which means it's going to be a perfect day for crafting!  I used pretty products from "My Favorite Fall," including a beautiful embossing folder and even cute little puffy stickers to add some fun interest to this little tag set:


You'll also find some chipboard mixed in - I love adding lots of different textures to my paper projects!



I cut apart the wagon full of pumpkins and added the pumpkins to the truck - I love the dimension it added!


Several layers and a few different techniques for adding dimension = so. much. fun.



Do you like to make tags?  What do you use them for?  I am thinking these will be cute added to a stack of homemade pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.  They will make a delicious gift even more fun and festive!

happy birthday cards | carta bella paper

Hi friends!  Just wanted to share a couple of birthday cards I whipped up with the "Gone Camping" collection from Carta Bella!  I just love the illustrations in this collection and thought the 3x4 cards would be really fun on a set of cards.

I used the 3x4 cards, a few other patterned papers, and some stickers to create both cards.  They are pretty much the same design with a few little tweaks.


I also put my manual die-cutting machine to work for these cards!  The stitched circles and the little tags, in addition to the "Happy Birthday" sentiment were all created with dies!


Thanks for stopping by the blog - I hope you found some inspiration for using the "Gone Camping" collection today!

let's party card | carta bella paper

Sometimes I find that I love bits and pieces of themed collections so much that I want to use them on projects with different themes!  This alpaca was just begging to be used on a fun birthday card, don't you think??

 I just couldn't wait to share this card I created with the "Pack Your Bags" collection!



I cut the alpaca card from the 3x4 card sheet, then I trimmed it a bit more - cutting the text from the bottom - you'll see what I did with it in just a minute.  Then I pulled out one of my favorite dies, an oldie, but a goodie, the "Let's Party" set, to cut the words and balloons for my card. Of course, I added a bit of stitching with my sewing machine (because I LOVE it), and I added a sticker with a few foam pop dots too.


To complete the card, I added the text portion of the 3x4 card, along with a few stickers to the INSIDE of my card!

My challenge to you is to think outside the box and try to use one of our themed collections for something other than the intended theme! :)
