Top Note Tag

Good Morning! Happy Monday to you!

I have just a quick post today. I recently signed up for a tag swap, so I decided it was probably best to get to work on them. They aren't due til April, but we all know how time flies! Anyway, I signed up for a Top Note size tag and a round one. The round one I had hoped that I would get done yesterday, but it ended not being a very good day for me, so.... Anyway, I don't own the Top Note die but I created one using Cricut and SCAL software. I had these tags cut, both layers in about 5 minutes or less! Easy!!



Isn't it pretty? I think so anyway. I used Not Quite Navy as my base and I had this pretty paper left over from a swap I did awhile back. It was also time to use these flowers that I have been hoarding since that swap I just mentioned. I used the Cricut with the Home Accents cartridge to cut the word Dream.


Here's a close up of the image I used, this is from Pond Pals from Sweet n Sassy Stamps. I "colored" the wings with gold Stickles. The trick with keeping the wings curled is curl them up and then apply the Stickles. The moisture that the Stickles puts into the paper will dry the wings into position.

I had a lot of fun with these and hopefully I'll have the round ones done soon to share with you. Thanks for stopping by!
