Happy Wednesday everyone! Well, I could be happier here though! My Fall allergies are already in high gear! Ugh! Could be worse though, I guess! ;)  It's time for a brand new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week we want to see... TAGS! You can make a gift tag or add one to a project or card!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by the fabulous Mr. Tim Holtz! ;) I started off with a #8 Manila Tag by Ranger. I added some Collage Paper by TH to the base of the tag. I also used some Legacy Paper by Simple Stories as well. The "Fine Rubber Stamps" Stamp is a new stamp by Tim Holtz. Love it!! ;) I stamped it in Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

I also used a Prima Zipper, paper roses, lace trim, White Opal Liquid Pearls by Ranger, parts of a paper doily, seam binding ribbon, Rose Washi Tape, the Martha Stewart Doily Lace Edge Punch and the Happy Birthday Stamp by TH.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

♥ Simon Says... Tag it! ♥

This week's challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog is sure to be another fun one! We want to see tags!! You can make a stand alone tag or you can add a tag to a creation. Just have fun with it!!

This week the SS girls are showcasing the fabulous Tim Holtz! {Love him!} I used a super cute clear stamp set called The Journey. I also used some beautiful papers from his Vintage Shabby Paper Pad, including the tag that I made by simply cutting out a rectangle, snipping the top corners, punching a hole and then adding one of his Idea-ology Hole Reinforcers.

I also used some of his Distress Inks, Ranger White Opal Liquid Pearls, Martha Stewart punched butterflies, seam binding and mini rose.

As always, Heidi will generously give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderfully sweet Valentine's Day yesterday! I spent the day with my mom and kids and the night with hubby. Had fun! Hope you did too!! ;)

This week's FUN challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog is to make a tag! You can incorporate a tag onto a card or make a tag that can be attached to a special present for Christmas, Hanukkah or even a Birthday!

I made some Christmas tags that I can easily attach to a present and you can make a little pocket in the back to hold a gift card or money. With the awesome JustRite Spellbinders Nested Frame Die they are so easy to make! I love this die set. You can do so many things with it! After running the larger rectangle die through my Cuttlebug, I stamped Tim Holtz's Santa Letter ATC Rubber Stamp onto the tag. You can then run the next size die through your Cuttlebug, attach it to the back, only gluing the bottom and two sides, leaving the top open to make a pocket. There you have a wonderful handmade Christmas Tag/Gift Card Holder! You can even add a longer piece of ribbon to it, so it can be hung from the Christmas tree!

Here is a closeup of all the tags.
