Tag It with Bella's Bloom

Is it still a tag if it doesn't have a loop at the top?

I am really enjoying the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch from the Occasions Catalog.

I love to pair it with a round topped tag made by inserting the paper from the bottom of the 2 1/2" Circle Punch.

Instead of putting a hanging ribbon on this, I added a bow.

 says to do something for our Mum 

or another special woman in our life.

I used my Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder

My Mom passed away many years ago 

so this will go to another special woman.

Simon Says "Tag It"

And that's what I did. Twice as a matter of fact.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Enjoy!

Another Black Magic

Hi stampin' folks. Today I want to share another card done with the Black Magic technique. This one is very simple since I still don't feel like I have mastered the technique.


I love the yellow, black and white combination and since the background design is mainly black, I just had to put it on a yellow card.

The image was stamped with Whisper White. After it dried, I colored it with Prismacolor Pencils and highlighted with the gel pen. I chose to do the dots on the frame instead of the flower. I hope that's not taking too much creative license with Karen's technique.

I'll keep practicing.

Ye Olde Garden Shoppe

Hello Stampin' Friends,

I had some leftover pieces from the last card and some stamps out that I was going to use, but didn't. Sooo, I played a bit last night. I love the Bella's Bloom stamp set and I have barely wet the rubber! I meant to stamp a few flowers, but got carried away and decided if a few was good, a lot was better. I used the leaves on the sentiment as well as a stamp from a retired set, Watercolor Minis for the greenery at the bottom. I cut around the top of the flowers and put some dimensionals in the middle to lift it out a bit. Then I trimmed a piece of the Bashful Blue DSP that I had "quilted" with the Big Guy and punched it with that oh so popular Scallop Trim Border Punch (still free with a $50.00 purchase). I thought it looked like a store canopy and the Shoppe was born! The bloom sentiment is from another stamp set, Bloomin' Beautiful. (I always thought that Bloom would be a great name for a flower shop.) The butterflies are from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die, p. 24, in the Occasions Mini Catalog.
