Happy Birthday Tag

Happy World Card Making Day! Hope you were able to get some crafting done. Recently,  I've been making a lot of tags because they are a perfect way to use of bits and pieces of paper.

The tag was cut with my Silhouette SD. The papers are from Papertrey Ink and the stamp is also from the Birthday Bash Sentiments.

Congrats Melisa & Andy!

Hi everyone, hope had a great weekend. Here's a tag I designed for a wedding that took place today at a local winery. Angie, one of our school secretaries is the mother of the groom. I previously created these tags for Angie's mom.

You can see the other tags in the background. I created a little over 100 tags for their wedding favor containers. In Stampin' Up colors, Melisa's colors were Elegant Eggplant and Rose Red. She also had a gray/silver color in her wedding decor, so I heat embossed the small silver heart. The shape of the tag is a Silhouette Studio tag design that I modified. (That's what I love most about Silhouette Studio, you can easily modify or delete features from any design.)


I cut the bottom portion of the tag from Whisper White cardstock using the Silhouette cutter. I stamped a portion of the Medallion stamp using Elegant Eggplant ink on white paper and glued it to the Elegant Eggplant tag. I cut a 3/8" strip of textured Rose Red paper and glued it to the middle of the tag. The text was created using Microsoft Word and a font called Marriage Script that I got it here. I cut the half circles using a paper trimmer and a 1.75" circle punch. I then glued the half circles to the tag. The finishing touch was Love heart that was attached using some foam tape.

Oh Happy Day

I made these tags for the favors (silver candle sticks) at my sister-in-law, Yolanda's, bridal shower last night. Thanks, Connie & Smruti for hosting! I used my QuicKutz Silhouette to cut the initials for the bride and groom from Going Gray cardstock. The silver and white patterned paper is from a Making Memories bridal page kit.

Happy 4th Birthday, Stephen!

We celebrated my nephew's 4th birthday yesterday. I didn't make him a card. Instead, I decorated a large tag for his giftbag. I love robot themes for boys, since my little one is all about robots.

This tag is a large kraft tag from my stash. I just layered on the Cosmo Cricket paper. I inked and heat embossed a Heidi Swapp chipboard number.

Before I forget...Simply Handmade is giving away two die cut machines: a Sizzix Big Shot and a QuicKutz Silhouette.
