I Love, Love Tags!

 

I do love tags... and I love vintage.... and I love bird cages.... and I love Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake!

So put all those together and here's what you get. Now I just need a great present to add this topper to!

 I love using the banner from the Petal Cone Die - it makes them so crisp and precise.

 

And a great little envelope is always fun - how about an unexpected little note inside? Cute, cute!

First Edition DSP

Yesterday I decided to play with some colors I've not put together  (Pool Party and Basic Grey) 
 before and also do some new embossing. I love working with Basic Grey, both card stock and ink, because it's just a little softer than black - doesn't hit you quite so hard, ya know.

For the embossing, I first cut circles from First Edition DSP, adhered them to Pool Party card stock and then ran them through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice embossing folder.  Creates a brand new paper for you!  The bird is embossed with Clear embossing powder.

Here's a close up.....
