Sweet Thoughts...

I have some Sizzix inspiration for you today... a little tag of encouragement using the following dies, Tag & Bookplates Flowers, 3-D and Tiny Tabs & Tags. I have had the Tiny Tabs & Tags die for a while and man... I am so happy I brought that baby out! It has the cutest little tags and tabs!
I am going to give you a small tutorial as we go along, just in case you would like to make one for yourself. Die cut two tags using the Tag & Bookplates Die, one from Mat Board (or cardstock) and one from patterned paper. Using the Tiny Tabs & Tags Die, die cut the smaller circle and rounded tab from patterned paper. You will find that the rounded tab is missing in the photo below so, see the above photo for this one... sorry.
You can find the digital image HERE in Iralamija's Etsy shop. Trim the patterned paper tag just a bit (so you can see some edges of the main tag), machine stitch around the tag and digital image and then zig zag stitch about two inches from the bottom of the tag. Adhere the tag from patterned paper to the tag from the Mat Board. Adhere a piece of seam binding or ribbon across the top of tag (just below the hole in tag), tie a bow and adhere to the left corner of tag. Stamp sentiment in the circle tag and tie around bow with jute string. The sweet little sentiment can be found HERE from the ever so talented Stephanie Barnard.
Adhere a small piece of lace to the lower right corner of the digital image letting a little piece hang from the bottom edge (see photo). Adhere the rounded tab on top of the lace and machine stitch if desired. Adhere a button in center of tab.
Stamp the numbers from Tim Holtz Clear Stamps - Purely Random Set at the bottom of tag. Using the Flowers, 3-D, die cut from felt and assemble following the instructions on packaging. Adhere a pearl in center of flower, adhere leaves to back of flower and adhere the flower in center of the zig zag stitching.
Enjoy your tag and your day!
