Patchwork Tag-Card

Hello!

When I saw Melissa Phillips' video - PTI-Make It Monday #96-Patchwork Die-Cuts,

I knew I wanted to experiment with the Patchwork technique.

Since I really enjoy making Tag-Cards, I played around with the design on the PTI-Tag Sale #5 die.

I love the My Mind's Eye-Lost & Found Christmas patterned paper.

This is my second attempt at stitching on paper.

(I'm still needing more practice.)

 This Tag-Card is for my Dear Husband.

Who loves Buttons?

Hope you are having a fantastic day!

The current temperature in my part of the USA is 47.  Yeah!  I'm loving it!

As I was looking through some items that I recently received from a Flickr friend,

I couldn't stop looking at ALL the fabulous buttons (in one of my favorite colors) she sent. 

Then I looked through ALL the patterned paper I've bought/collected,

 (I really need to put it to good use.)

and found this lovely "Simple Stories-Documented" 6 x 6 paper

that I thought would work beautifully with the lovely buttons. 

I strung the buttons on twine, and added a glue dot behind each button.

After playing around with the design, this card came together rather quickly.

WOW...I love those buttons!  Thanks, Rosemary!

Supplies

Stamp:  Hero Arts-Good Friends

Clean and Simple (CAS) is not my usual style of creating.

Usually, I like to almost completely cover my creations with

some kind of stamping, inking, patterned paper, layers, and/or embellishments.

However, there are several CAS challenges that have challenged me to step out of my comfort zone.

I made this "Tag Card" for these challenges.

The wonderful Barb challenged us to CASE a card we have placed in our "Favorites File".

I loved the idea, and I chose one of sweet Brenda's beautiful cards.

The background embossing & inking, and the sweet butterfly are perfect on her card.

The one on the left was made for my dear brother, and the one on the right was made for my sweet sister.

Tags With Mini Bags & A Tag-Card

Hello, and thank you for stopping by today!

If you know anything about my creative style, I really enjoy making Tag Cards and Tags with Pockets.
So while on a wonderful vacation, I taught a class at the fabulous scrapbook store, Rocky Mountain Memories in Estes Park, Colorado.  The store owners, Cheryl & Rick Grigsby, are the sweetest couple.
They allowed me to hang out at their store, as often as my heart desired, to do a little creating, while away from home.  :-)  Thanks, Cheryl and Rick!

This is what the wonderful ladies created in the class that I taught.  All the stamps are by B Line Designs.

Have a wonderful weekend!
