For my post tonight, I created a gift tag....which is SO not my norm, but this week's Crazy 4 Challenges, challenge, is tags, so I went with it!! What I discovered is that THIS set is PERFECT for that!! How fun will that be attached to a gift, balloons, flowers, a bag, a box...the sky is the limit!! Fun, right?! I used the MME Stella and Rose Mabel pad. I paried it with PTI Aqua Mist, MFT Tangy Tangerine, and MFT Sweet Tooth. I used the Baby Onesie Die-namic to cut out my onesie, and used my T0 Copic to highlight the seams. I found some SUPER cute tiny brads, so I used those as my fasteners, and also along the base of the card. For my scallops, I used the Mini Scalloped Edge Die-namics. My sentiment was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa, and Pumpkin Pie ink from SU. To finish, I used Tangy Orange Grosgrain for the top of the tag, and Cappuccino Twine. 



Here are the Die-namics I have used:

From the farmer’s wife, to several more barn yard friends, you will LOVE what you can create when these two sets combine.




Poultry in Motion is a 4x8 set that includes a total of 30 stamps and will sell for $18.00.



For my card tonight, I stamped my images on X-Press It Blending card, and then colored them both with my Copics. I created my grass with Copics as well, and cut out the sheep separately and popped him up. My paper is from the Lilybee Designs Harvest Market pad. For my card stock, I used Bayou Blue(SU), Wax Lips(Bazzill), and Ripe Avocado(PTI). My ribbon is Sweet Tooth Grosgrain from MFT, and I used Michael's bards, and Creative Express spiral clips.
