I layered a doily and some lace. I then used a little tag i cut out from the paper and layered that on top of the doily and lace. I used the Classy labels die to create some more layers. I finished the tag with some flowers. 

Here is some more pictures

Today I have a card to share with you. 

I have used the Prima Stationery Desk collection. I used the packaging from the flowers as well. For the background I used some Shimmerz products..... not knowing how the card was going to end up I was going for more of a mixed media card but it didn't end up that way. You can see little bits of the products behind the papers....... I used Stazon ink to stamp the sentiment.  I used is the Surely Goodness stamp set. I used some seam binding too. To finish off the card I used a flower from the collection.

Treats for you.

Hello everyone. 

I have a little Christmas theme project to share with you. 

I made these tags for treats I will be baking for my sons teacher... neighbors.... and family. 

I first used the Sweet scallop die and cut out 6 tags using some My Minds eye 6x6 paper.  It is the Lost and Found Christmas paper from last year. I used Distress ink in Walnut stain to ink the edges. I used the Holiday Treats stamp set. I used the Walnut stain ink to stamp the sentiment along with the snowflakes. I used some gems I had in my stash and put them in the middle of the snowflakes. I used some twine ribbon to add to the top and add a little bow. 

Here is a couple more pictures.
