Tag, You're It! Teaser Time!

Hi all and welcome to day 4 (of 5) of MFT Teaser Time.

Confession: I am in LOVE with the Tag, You're It stamp set.  LOVE I tell you!  LOL  It's SO pretty, sweet, and SIMPLE.  Every now and then you just need to make a quick and easy card... like this one:



The Tag, You're It stamp set includes many gorgeous, large sentiments and several polka dotted icons.  For this card, I chose the Just Because sentiment, and the polka dotted strawberry.  I stamped them over a newsprint patterned paper.  I stamped the included polka dot frame in green around the perimeter of the tag, but it's hard to see in the picture.  I staggered 2 layers of the Simply Scallops Medium Die-namics die.


Check out the amazing new Fancy Flourish.  I love it!  I added a cool white brad (Michaels - Recollections brand) and the tiny flower from the Notched Tag Die-namics.


I had to incorporate the tag on another card, but this time I decided to do it a little differently and used shrink plastic!  FYI, the best type of shrink plastic to use is the prepared type.  It's WAY easier and less messy to buy is prepared (sanded).  I found some frosted, prepared shrink plastic at Michaels for $6.


I used the à la modes Bundle of Baby stamp set along with the Tag, You're It stamp set.  I created the flower embellishment with 2 different types of Prima flowers, the leaf die-cuts from Upsy Daisy Die-namics, a button, some twine and the Tag, You're It Die-namics die adorned with a onesie die from the Notched Tag Die-namics.  The tag frame was stamped.  I added the dotted lines, and a sentiment from the set.  Then, I shrunk it with my heat gun and adhered the cute little onesie.


See the excessive green shading around her?  It was a cover up!  LOL  I had recently reinked my E31 and while I was coloring some ink ceremoniously leaked down and made a BIG blob of brown ink on my paper.  After cleaning it up as best as I could with my blender pen, I decided to further mask it with some darker-than-usual shading.  I had spent a lot of time coloring and was trying to avoid the round file.  LOL


Here is a close-up of the cute little shrinky dink tag.  :)



Here are the all the dies I used on my creations today and a peek at the new Die-namics and stamp set Duos!  SO cool!
