Trio of Tags Dies

Hello Baby

April 22, 2021 · 2 Comments

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest color challenge –

These soft colors reminded me of something for a baby…..

A baby blanket!

To create my ‘blanket’, I started with the soon-to-retire, Best Plaid Builder Dies* –

I wanted the card to look gender neutral, so I used So Saffron for the majority of the card. The lines in the plaid are both cut from Flirty Flamingo and Seaside Spray.

Take note of the added stitching! It’s from the Stitched With Whimsy Dies. It took my paper baby quilt to the next level!

The sentiment is from the So Sentimental* stamp set. It’s retiring soon too.

I used the Trio of Tags* Dies for the sentiment outline. One of the best values on the Retiring List!

Hello Magnolia

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Got another great challenge for you today!

I incorporated both the ‘more than one fold’ and the layout –

Yes, another fun fold –

Fully opened –

Soo sweet, right?

I started with a strip of Peony Garden* Designer Series Paper, it’s retiring soon. You can get three cards from one 12″ x 12″ sheet! I so love this idea!

I die cut one edge using the aslo retiring Magnolia Memory Dies* –

What a fantastic buy at $8.75, they were $35.00! These dies pair with the Good Morning Magnolia* stamp set, also retiring –

I used the Hello sentiment in a Trio of Tags die cut. I added a die cut flower and leaves on the outside from the same dies.

Such a sweet card – and soo easy!

Lots of items are retiring this month and the Clearance Rack has been updated.

We Create – The Animal Kingdom

April 1, 2021 · 7 Comments

Happy April 1st!

No foolin’, time for an afternoon blog hop!

Our theme this month is animal kingdom.

Whoa! I had to think outside the box on these two…..

Ok, I went with something WILD!

I made a really cool background stamp from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set. It was the leftover pieces from in between the butterflies! I used two sets of butterflies to get all these pieces.

Look at my stamp –

I just love the wildness of this idea!

For both cards, I used the same sentiment from retiring Itty Bitty Birthdays*!

And, for both, I also used the retiring, and on sale for $4.00, Trio of Tags Dies* –

Such a great buy for the price!

See how cool they work together –

To finish each off, I used 2020-2022 In Color Ribbon in Magenta Madness and Bumblebee.

Easy, cool cards! And, save some of those rubber scraps! You never know when you might need them! Lol!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Cute Halloween

October 12, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features a cute Halloween card.

You know what stamp set and punch is perfect for this?

You know me too well! The Harvest Hellos bundle!

I stamped the pumpkins on different patterns of Pumpkin Pie Regals 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. Then punched them with the Apple Builder punch.

I stamped just this one stamp from the Tags Tags Tags stamp set and die cut them using the Trio of Tags dies. Note : these stamps and dies are in a trio and are connected when you use them.

After I created those elements for the card, I felt the card needed something.

I added the oval shape from the Heirloom 3D Embossing Folder! That’s just what the card needed!

I think this fits the bill for a cutesy Halloween card, don’t you?

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – National Coloring Day

September 14, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features an image to color, because it’s National Coloring Day!

I love to color! When my girls were young, this was a favorite past time for us. We we went out to eat, we always had coloring books along with the good crayons and markers! Both are artists now!

I couldn’t help but pull out this Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper and my Blends and get to work –

I seriously could have colored all the pages!

By changing the color of the single Blends marker, you can create a totally different look in a card!

I am working on fall themed cards, so I started with Halloween –

This card just uses a Dark Pumpkin Pie Blends, that’s all! The shading came strictly from the paper!

For the sentiment, I used the Tags Tags Tags bundle, which is a stamp set and framelits.

I changes it up a bit for a fall card –

This card used the Light Blackberry Bliss Blends. Although, the card stock is Rich Razzleberry. This colors match a little better to me.

Stamp set for the fall card is the Gather Together, punched with a circle punch and backed with the Layering Circles Dies.

In the past, I created a beautiful Christmas version using this same technique. It’s just too pretty not to color it!

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!
