PTI MIM #268: Double-Layer Tags

Once again it's time to participate in Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday here, hosted this week by Dawn McVey. This is truly a blessing because poor Dawn has been through so much lately with ill health and lots of testing. I'm so grateful she had the stamina to create and share her talents with us once again, and I will keep her in my prayers.

Believe it or not, I'm not a tag person because the extent of our gift giving now is for the Giving Tree at church. But, I just had to face the challenge and make one double-layer tag.
Here it is (front & back):

PTI MIM #205: Confetti Cluster Stamping

Awe, Lizzie Jones, in her very first Make It Monday Video for Papertrey Ink here, shows us her fun technique of Confetti Cluster Stamping. The idea is to use tiny accessory images from a variety of stamp sets clustered together. I traced the balloon die from Birthday Style three times and filled them in with small stamps from several different sets using seven different ink colors. The balloon was die-cut three times from a piece of Soft Stone card stock and adhered with foam tape to my white card base. A Bountiful Banner die-cut was layered beneath my Berry Sorbet "Celebrate" where the balloon strings joined. I know I'll try this technique again. Thanks, Lizzie!

Papertrey Ink's 8th Anniversary Gift Tag (Day 3)

Today's challenge on Nichole's blog in honor of PTI's 8th Anniversary was to create a handmade tag for a matching gift bag. It's not very often I make tags because even if I use a gift bag, I usually include a homemade card. However, my Tag Sale #9 dies were staring me in the face wanting to be used. Here's my tag (both layers) as I was creating it.

Tag before I tied it together with twine.

PTI MIM #164: Cluster Stamped Sentiments

Oh my goodness, I knew it had been a while since I was able to stamp, but didn't realize it has been over a month. No wonder I was going through withdrawals. Since I need graduation cards, birthday cards and congratulatory cards, I thought I'd give this week's Make It Monday a try. Well, Heather made it look so easy. The first three went in the trash last night because I just wasn't pleased with my cluster of hats and stars, and I kept smearing the ink.  So earlier today I attempted that same card again because I liked the idea I had in my head…just not so much on paper. I am satisfied with this one for a High School grad whose school colors are red and blue.

My next card is for a high school senior who achieved her personal bests in discus and shot put and hopefully qualifies for WA State Field and Track. Her goal is to participate in Junior Nationals again so I'm confident she will. 

My third and final card is a birthday card for my SIL, which I need to mail tomorrow. 

I apologize for not commenting regularly on blog posts, and hope to improve on that task soon. Thanks for reading this post, and I appreciate every comment.
