New Name and ETSY Shop

 Did you happen to notice that the title of my name changed again?  The Tag Lady was already taken by someone on the ETSY site, so I had to change it and make a new Logo.  My ETSY shop is finally open along with my Facebook page for the shop.  Yay! I'm so excited!  Took some time, but I am finally there!  Below are a few of the items that I am selling!

 

 

Birhtday Tags Continued

It feels so good to get back in the swing of things after my long hiatus!  I just love these tags!  I think I will make some bags or  cards that match.  It's hot, it's humid and it's summer in FL.  Time to stay inside and stamp!  :)  All stamp sets on this post are from Stampin' Up!

Stamp Sets: Nature Walk, Sincere Salutations (retired)

Cardstock: Very Vanilla

Ink: Basic Black and Crumb Cake ink pads and  Rose Red, Old Olive and Always Artichoke pens

Stamp Set: Curly Cute

Cricut Cartridge: Sweet Treats

Ribbon: Old Olive Seam Binding Ribbon

Happy Birthday, I'm back!

It's been 2 years! So much has happened, including a BIG move to Florida.  The blog name has changed and my focus is tags! I don't know where or why I got this obsession to make tags for all sorts of stuff, but I like it!  Especially since I like making things in multiples.  I will be selling my things at craft fairs and am thinking of  starting and ETSY site, but first things first! My blog! I have so many cards, notebooks and tags to show you, but like in scrap booking, I need to start in the present and move back when I can.  I think a present and past project each post might catch me up. My theme today is Birthday! Getting back into the scene feels like a birthday gift to myself! 

Please note:  Because some of these were made months ago, I am not going to list every stamp set used.  I will just say that they are either from Stampin' Up!, Papertrey Ink, Just Rite Stamps and at least one random set I bought from Michaels.  All cardstock and ribbon is from Stampin' Up! I will list products used on all current paper crafts.  Enjoy!

Birthday Card

I have a nephew with a birthday coming up. He is getting older so his card has to be a little more masculine. The stamp sets I used are: Just Football and Starring You. I used Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke, and Whisper White card stock. The striped paper is from the paper stack, Sweet Pea that is featured in the mini catalog on page 33. Hope he likes his card!

Green and Black Birthdays

What is it about green and black that I just love? Everytime I pair up Old Olive and Basic Black, I have to make another card using the same colors! This first card is a birthday card for my big sis an the second card is a birthday card for my dad. Who, by the way, is visiting me this week during his birthday. I feel so special. I actually need to leave to go pick my mom and dad up at the airport in just a few minutes. Just wanted to post these real fast! Happy Stamping!!

While I was waiting for my new stamps to arrive from SU! I made this card. The unfortunate thing is that I forgot to post it early last week. Then my in-laws came for a week and my blog was the last thing on my mind! Anyway, here is the card and here is a picture of my daughter and her grandparents at lunch one day. Hope your 4th was as great as mine was! Down to the craft room to start using all my new stuff!! YAY!!

Rasberry Tart Birthday

I can't wait for you all to see the new catalog! The ideas! Oh, the ideas!!! I have not had a chance to play with my new stuff yet, since it has been a busy week, but keep looking for it because it won't be long.
Once again, Chat inspired me with here card here. Her card is gorgeous. I chose to the Raspberry Tart DS paper, along with Rose Red and Pink Pirouette card stock. I just love the Flower Daisies #2 Die Cut from Sizzix.

It's a Loop Thing

Since I won't get my new catalog until Thursday, I am guessing that this little stamp set and paper will be in the new catalog because it wasn't on the "Last Chance" list. The decorative paper and stamp set were a Level 3 Hostess package in the current catalog. The stamp set was called "It's a Loop Thing" and the DS paper is "Hand Drawn". I really hope to see the paper again, because it was absolutely adorable! The saying is from the stamp set "Smarty Pants".

Saying Goodbye

I have been under the weather the past few days. On top of that, we are doing some remodeling in our home. Stamping seems to be a luxury that I am not finding time for lately. However, I am very excited about the new catalog and the new "In-Colors". This birthday card was made with the "Doodle This" stamp set that is retiring. You have until the end of June to buy this before it is gone forever. I also used Kiwi Kiss card stock which you also will not see anymore. Be sure to check out the list that is retiring and stock up on items that will no longer be available. Happy Stamping!

Birthday's Galore!

April is full of birthdays!! Here are just a few that I will be giving away. The two below are two of the cards we made at the April Stamp Camp. Happy Birthday, friends!! ;)

Got to get this in the mail!

Just a quick post of a card I made for my nephew, Brad. He is turning 12! Happy Birthday, Brad!! Now, got to go get it in the mail!

Happy Birthday???

Well, it is my birthday today and it sure has been great!! Starting off with a little surprise breakfast from my tennis team, lunch with a good friend and well...yes... a little stamping! Top it off with dinner with my two favorite people (Mark and Taylor) and that makes it the perfect day!

The card in this picture started off with a little piece of scrap paper. I just wanted to see how this stamp would look on printed paper and I ended up liking it enough to use it in a card and this is what I came up with! The stamp is from retired set, "Finest Flourishes" and the words are from "On Your Birthday". Pretty cute for just messing around! What a great day! Life is good! ;)

Hand Drawn Bundle

Don't you just love this paper and the rub ons? Both are from the new catalog. The Hand Drawn Bundle is a Level 3 Hostess Set! I just love how cute the paper is! I am dying to get my new catalogs to see more!! Remember, the first day of purchase from the new catalog is January 19th! Stamp Camp is January 21st! Looking forward to seeing you all!

Green Tea and Kinley

I have been making so many holiday cards that I wanted to take a break and since a good friend of mine is having a birthday, it gave me an excuse to break free from the holidays for an hour or so... I have always loved blues and greens together. The "Green Tea" paper is just so pretty!! Don't you think? I made the second card just because I had all the paper out. :)

This last picture is just a picture I have been wanting to share but have been forgetting to pull it up. Kinley spent an hour or so excitedly barking at a dog that was visiting our neighbors. There was no quieting him down or even catching him to bring him in. Once I finally rounded him up and got him back into the house, this is what happened. He fell asleep drinking water! Isn't that just the cutest darned picture you have ever seen? Can't help but just love him to pieces!! :)

Happy Birthday Card

I have been wanting to dig into some more of my Designer Series Paper. This printed paper is Maine Blueberry. I love it! Not Quite Navy looks so good with it! I used the Fresh Cuts Stamp Set and the Big Birthday Candle for the words. The paper in this catalog and the Holiday Mini are crazy good! I can't wait to pull out the new Ski Slope paper for some cards. The pictures in the catalog never do it justice. You have to see it in person to see how beautiful it really is! I will try to find some time later today to do more! As for now... it's off to do laundry! Get creative today, will you! Happy Stamping! ;)

Party Hearty!!

I love this set and its name! Too cute! There are so many fun things you can do with this set and I can't wait to make more with it!! In this card I used the new 1 3/4 circle punch with the square scallop punch cut in half for the back ground!!
I thought it turned out rather cute!

Cricut Initial Birthday Cards

I had to make some cards in a flash and decided to use my cricut. I was actually pleased with how they turned out.

Seeing Spots with the new "in colors"!!

I love it when EASY things turn out so cute!! I made the birthday card for Taylor's friend. The candy box I gave away at a little gathering for my good customers. I love layering the punches. I can't wait until my order comes in with all the new punches!!

Have a great weekend... Off to the grocery store!

Chocolate Chip Fun!

My sister is getting married at the end of the month. So, I went looking for some ideas. I saw a few cards with using Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla. I love how pretty the two look together, so I decided to make a couple of birthday cards as well.

A Birthday Gift Card

Taylor went to a friend's birthday party and asked me to make her a card that included some kind of candy... So this is what I delivered!! :) A gift card was stuck inside the tri-fold card.



Here is what I used:
Stamp Sets: It's Your Birthday and Lovely Labels
Card Stock: Purely Pomegranate, Wild Wasabi, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White
Designer Series Paper: Darling Doodles
Certainly Celery Grosgrain Ribbon
Square Punch
All Stampin' Up! Products of course!!
