Colourful tiny tags

I got the idea for the tag here.

I wanted a purple card to try out a new ink (Ranger Milled lavender), cardstock (Lavender moon) and ribbon (Plum pudding).

Supplies; Stamps - YOF mini, Giga guidelines, Paper - Lavender moon, white, vellum, Other - Tiny tags die, Parisian doily die, Edgers #2 die, Plum pudding satin ribbon, cream embroidery floss.

Doily and bitty dots

This is a CASE, but I don't remember where I saw it!  I loved the combination of pink, melon dot ribbon and white doily. 

Am going to use this as a congrats on a pregnancy.  There's something about bitty dot ribbon that makes me think of babies. 

Supplies; Stamps - unknown, Paper - Sweet blush, white, Other; Parisian lace doily die, Melon berry bitty dot ribbon.

All soft and white

I've been meaning to make a card like this for awhile - all soft and creams/whites.

The background mat is a gold shimmer cardstock, and it's impressed with In Bloom folder.  The doily was cut out of vellum.  The background stamp with roses is from Impression Obsession.   Lots of distress ink for the edges.

This is my first time using Tiny Tags - eek, so cute and fun! 

Supplies; Stamps; Background roses, Tiny Tags, Paper - vellum, cream, shimmer, Other; Parisian doily die, Tiny Tags die, In Bloom impression plate, Antique linen distress ink, cream satin ribbon, 1/8'' silk ribbon.

PTI blog hop - embroidery floss

Papertrey Ink's blog hop theme this month is to use embroidery floss.  I haven't tried this before, so I looked forward to the challenge! 

The floss was weaved (just by hand) through the holes of the die, then tied. I looped it around and then used a smidgen of hot glue to fix it into place. I was hoping to have the new Tiny tags dies/stamps by now, so just image a little tag dangling from the floss.

The card evolved over awhile actually - I had gotten the heart and musicsheet background stamps a few months ago, and had stamped a bunch of paper with them in anticipation of using later.  Then I got the Parisian lace doily die with the February release, and decided I wanted to see it in hot pink, and so the rest of the card all sort of fell together from there.

The leaves were stamped with grey, the flower punched out of patterned paper, and the circle mat is also stamped with a delicate background stamp (envelope pattern).

Enjoy the rest of the hop - I know I will!

Supplies; Stamps - BB: Music Sheet, BB: Hearts, Envelope Pattern, Turning a New Leaf, Delightful dahlia (sentiment), Paper - Lemon tart, Raspberry fizz, cream, Bittersweet PP (Basic grey), Other - Parisian lace doily die, Limitless labels 1 3/4'' circle dies, Boho blooms flower punch (SU), cream embroidery floss.

Trying vintage

...and my new dies!

I have been cutting out doilies like a mad woman.  And strangely, I find pushing out the little holes by hand very satisfying.

They are both 5.5'' square card.  The layout on the second is a little off, next time I'd mat the labels die cut and move the charm closer to it.  Overall I'm happy with my first tries at 'vintaged-up' cards.
