Bird Tag

 When I saw this challenge to use a tag on your card over at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog I knew just the tag I wanted to use.  I had recently been looking at my old papers and I have been hoarding these, I have used quite a bit but now it was time to break them out again.

The stamp is from 2002 and the paper is from 2005, so both good oldies :)

I first thought to use a vine for my trellis off to the side but felt it still needed something so I added a branch with some flowers to mimic what was in the stamp.  I stamped directly onto the pattern tag and colored with markers.


  • Stampin up - Seasonal birds stamp set, 2002
  • BasicGrey - Sweet Pea Alyssa Paper and tag - Brad
  • Martha Stewart - Garden Trellis punch
  • Poppy stamps - Climbing Vine die
  • Memory Box - Woodland Branch and Seraphine Laurel die
  • Hero Arts - It's your day sentiment stamp

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today and hope you have a great week!

Connie, this is so pretty! The bird stamp looks lovely on the patterned paper, and the punched trellis with branch and vine make it appear as though the tag is hanging in a garden. Super sweet!

Oh Connie - this is so pretty. I love how it looks like it's hanging on the branch. What a gorgeous stamp!

Aren't these colors yummy together, Connie? There is a softness without being overly feminine, and a vintage feel, while still being modern in design. Don't you love that punch? I use it quite a bit, especially by cutting parts of it out. Such sweetness and beauty! hugs, de

Fabulous image and bag. I can relate to having items that old in my craft room and I love when I am inspired to bring the out again and use them with the newer techniques I have learned since they came out. Terrific card.
