Stamp TV, 1, 2, 3 Make Your Own Recipe
Of course I was totally drawn to the birdhouses!
My Recipe: 1) Sentiment
2) Wheat Die Cuts
3) Falling Leaves
I used some of my all time favorite stamp sets from Gina K Designs; Autumn Beauty, Heartfelt and Home Tweet Home. (I probably call a lot of her stamp sets my favorite.....and it's true!) Images colored with Copic Markers and stamped on the Stitched Traditional Tag die cut by MFT (truly a favorite die of mine!) Button and twine and some burlap ribbon and one small enamel brad for accent.
Found this great paper pack in my stash by S-E-I, Dill Blossom. Just had to stamp some wheat stalks/not quite sheaves in the background using Antique Linen ink. And then I remembered a dear crafting friend sent me so many die cuts one day, pulled out the wheat ones....thank you Kathy! If you ever want to see how to use die cuts and flowers galore just check out her BLOG! Fantastic!Thanks so much for coming by. I did ALL of my chores yesterday so today I get to PLAY! What's better than that?
Enjoy~~

This is soooo sweet!! I love everything about it, especially the tag. Have fun playing today.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fall card with the sweet tag! Thank so much for joining us for the 'Fall Challenge at Dies R Us! Please come back soon!:-)
ReplyDeleteToo cute. Love bird houses too and you really know how to decorate a tag. I finally got two tag dies that I have not used yet. Today I get to crack and shell walnuts. We have a walnut orchard next to our house and after they harvest we are permitted to glean. Last year I had 35 pounds of shelled walnuts. Made great Christmas gifts. Hubby and I crack and shell them on Sundays while we watch football. Thanks for the nice comment on my blog. You are such an inspiration.

ReplyDeleteHave fun with the tag dies--love them! AND I just learned a new word, glean! Sounds like hard work, but also with a big payoff! Enjoy~~

ReplyDeleteYou are always there to support in many ways. i love your take on tags, as I know that they are your favorite things to make. you do them so well. Love the falling leaves that let us know it is the end of the growing season and the beautiful accents. Thanks to Kathy too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at the Mod Squad Challenge this week. <3
Super cute tag with the sweet bird house. Aren't they wonderful? Love that you have the fern thing going on in the back ground behind that fence, and the leaves falling all around. And one of the things I like the best is that beautiful purple color on the card base, it goes beautifully with the other colors on the card, just makes them pop.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I love your tag card design. And, those bird houses are so darling. Everything you did works so well together!
ReplyDeleteYou've created a stunning fall scene on your tag, with the lovely birdhouse, pretty leaves and subtle patterned background! Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your fabulous creativity in the Tag You're It gallery!

Donna, love your sweet tag/card! Neat sweet angled sentiment, adorable birdhouse, and falling leaves. And gorgeous bg! Wheat sheaves... fabulous! Just a peek into the inside, did you decorate that too? Thanks for entering this beauty in the challenge at TYI!
ReplyDeleteI did! I typically add a strip of corresponding DP or a stamped image in the corner, just so it's not all 'naked' ;)
