I am feelin' fine and wearing lots of WHITE, because I have a lovely SUNTAN at the moment!
We are just back home from a lovely eight days in Key West, Florida. Oh, what a nice thing to do for yourself in the last, never-ending days of winter. Good weather, great food, and we even caught up with several friends we made on previous trips--definitely the BEST part!
OH! AND, we celebrated our second wedding anniversary while there, too! BIG WEEK!!
So, I'm a smiling Mr. Cardmaker, indeed.
It makes me think of these fun tags I made a while ago.
I made these--
Happy and sunny, just like my disposition these days. I love this circle tag die, and I found, while experimenting, that the Stampin' Up Wonderous Wreath stamps fit inside it just about perfectly! Instead of using the full wreath in this instance, I used the second part if the multi step stamps alone, and it gave me just the right amount of leaves for my background.
The leaf dies are from W+9, and the flowers are an older Sizzix set. I have no idea whether this is still available, but it worked just fine for me here.
The smile die is from Little Yellow Bicycle, and I LOVE that it's a chunkier font AND the dot for the "I" is attached, so no trying to hunt that sucker down mid-project.
The sentiment is stamped with an ancient Stampendous set called Everything Happy, and If I ever lose that one I may have to quit stamping entirely, I love it so much.
These will look great tied to a birthday gift. I wish I had thought about them when I gave a bottle of champagne as a gift on Sunday....Wop, wop...
Tags are good. That is all...
Thanks so much for stopping by!
All Best-
Richard

ReplyDeleteBeautiful tags with those bright uplifting colors. They are a ray of sunshine and surely will cause smiles to break out all over the place.
ReplyDeleteKey West sounds like the place I should have been for Easter - here it was pouring for about 48 hours straight... anyhow, beautiful tags!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a great vacation! Happy Anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteThe tags are perfect - and yes, they are very happy!
I'm so glad you included the name of the stamp set you used for the sentiment. The font is GORGEOUS and I would love to find one close to that that I could download. These circle tags are an orb of exquisite amazingness and cheerfulness with the perfect touch of warmth and greeting.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a great vacation and Happy Anniversary!!!
Glad you had a getaway - our 'honeymoon' is next week. We've been married 43 years, and never had one, so we are doing a Caribbean cruise next week. Going to snorkel, zip line, and see some of the Mayan ruins. Looking forward to it. Great tags! You are loving the SU products, I can tell!!! Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! LOVING the colors!!! Happy anniversary!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi sweet friend.. Congratulations on your anniversary! Yes! What a wonderful treat and a great way to keep the romance alive!

Your tags are lovely.. always the best attention to detail.. the distressed edges.. not only die cut leaves, but stamped as well.. I love the script fonts too!
