Introducing Tag-its, Flower Fusion & Think Big Favorites #8

     749 Comments

Here we are kicking off round two of the September Release Countdown!  I have several fun things to showcase for you today, so sit back and enjoy!

First, a little video to set the mood… one of my favorite scenes from White Christmas…a true classic that always gets me in the holiday spirit!

Now, wrapping gifts & making tags for the holidays is one of my favorite crafty ventures to undertake.  It is quick & easy and leaves such an impact on the recipient.  There is nothing better than being handed a perfectly wrapped package knowing that there is something special inside awaiting you!

Die-comarison
Our Mat Stack dies are among our most popular products and this month we are continuing our new series geared towards them.  Each month we will be introducing both a "Layerz" and "Mega" versions of  the Mat Stacks.  The "Layerz" version is approximately 1/8" of an inch larger all the way around, making it the perfect scale to mat the existing Mat Stack 2 shape.  The "Mega" version is blown-up to be A2 card cover size and not necessarily used as a mat for anything.  Just a fun super-sized way to jazz up your projects.

The details.

  • Both the Layerz & Mega Mat Stack 2 dies will be available for sale on September 15th.
  • The Layerz Mega Mat Stack 2 die will retail for $6. 
  • The Mega Mat Stack 2 die will retail for $14.
  • The Layerz Mega Mat Stack 2 die measures 3" x 2".  The Mega Mat Stack 2 die measures 5" x 3".

Now let's get to the projects!

Happy Holidays Tag
This first tag is super simple thanks to the help of a few dies!

Stitching
I die-cut Tag Sale #3 from Ripe Avocado cardstock.  I was then able to utilize the dotted embossed detail around the edge to my advantage and use it as a guide for stitching.  Super easy and quick!

Holly closeup
I used the ends of the embroidery floss to tie a Melon Berry button into place.  I then die-cut the large Holly Jolly leaves from Spring Moss cardstock and stamped them with Background Basics: Newsprint using Ripe Avocado ink.   The leaves tucked nicely under the button and were adhered in place.

Sentiment closeup
The sentiment, from Think Big Favorites #8, was stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed with White Filigree Embossing Powder.

Tag closeup
I finished it off with some Melon Berry Swiss Dot Ribbon.

Let it Snow Tag
This next tag uses the Layerz Mat Stack 2 die as it's base, die-cut from new Autumn Rose cardstock (more about this new color later on in the week!).

Closeup
I die cut Vintage Cream cardstock with the Limitless Layers 1.75" Circle die and stamped it with the snowflake frame from Tag-its #8 using Scarlet Jewel ink.  I stamped the frame a second time after rotating the frame just a bit, without re-inking for a lighter shadow effect.  I punched out the center of the frame using a 7/8" circle punch.  A layer of vintage book print was added underneath.

Side
I stamped the sentiment from 2009 Holiday Tags onto a strip of Scarlet Jewel cardstock using True Black ink.  I trimmed it into a strip and adhered it across the snowflake frame.  I added flower shaped rhinestones to either side for balance.

Snowman Tag
The base of this snowman tag was created with the Limitless Layers 2.5" Circle die place just above the fold of an Ocean Tides card.  The frame was created with the standard circles from both the Limitless Layers 2.5" & 1.75" Circle die sets and then covered with glitter.

Tag closeup
Inside, I stamped the snowflake frame with Aqua Mist and the snowman in Smokey Shadow.  I added a bit of color to the snowman using Copics and then some shimmer with a Sakura Gelly Roll pen.

Side
I attached the tag to the handle of a bucket using white floss and an Ocean Tides button.

Tis the Season Card
I figured a card was in order that used the two holiday sets together and here are my results.

Sentiment closeup
I die-cut a strip of white cardstock using a Half & Half die.  The sentiment, from Think Big Favorites #8, was stamped on the strip using True Black ink.  Pure Poppy Baker's Twine was wrapped around the torn end.

Snowflakes
Snowflakes from Tag-its #8 were added with Pure Poppy ink.  I finished some of the centers with red rhinestones for extra sparkle.

Down
The right-hand edge of the Kraft card base was stamped with Background Basics: Chevron Stripes using Fresh Snow ink.

Thank You Card
This is a perfect thank you for nearly any occasion, but especially meaningful during the fall.

Focal closeup
The focal point was created with layers cut with both Mega Mat Stack 1 & Mega Mat Stack 2.  It layers the flower & stem images from Flower Fusion #8 in Orange Zest & Terracotta Tile.

Rhinestone
The decorative brackets are from Mat Stack 2 Collection and were added with True Black ink.

Text & mehndi
A bit of Background Basics: Text Style was added to the bottom with VersaMark ink.  Mehndi Medallion was used on the Terracotta Tile Mega Mat Stack 1 layer with VersaMark ink.  I also used a gold paint pen to add a bit of definition to the edges of the focal point.

Down
I think this card is unique and really highlights how versatile this new set can be.

Just Dandy Card
I have one last card for you today using Flower Fusion #8.

Flowers closeup
I decided to pair it up with the stems and leaves from Daydreamer.  They are definitely a perfect match.  The stems & leaves were stamped in Simply Chartreuse ink.  The flowers in Hawaiian Shores, layered over Aquas Mist impressions.

Sparkle
I added a bit of shimmer to each flower using my Sakura Gelly Roll pen.

Down
The sentiment was stamped in True Black and then I tied the floss in place using some 1/4" hole punches slots as my guide.

I also like the new Flower Fusion set because it’s a little different. I thought that the FF die looked like it could be used as a cloud shape, too!

    Reply

  256. Can’t I just say I love them all? Ok, if I had to choose ONLY ONE, I think it would be the flower fusion dandelion – who hasn’t spent hours blowing dandelions or weaving chains from them? It’s modern yet nostalgic at the same time.
    I’m having a hard time warming up to Christmas with our gorgeous 80+ degree days here in the Midwest, but I also have to put a shout-out to the tag-its….I’m such a sucker for snowflakes!

    Reply

  292. Your tags are beautiful! I love flower fusion but you should know, both the set and the green pendant you showed look much more like Queen Anne’s lace than dandelions. Dandelions’ fluff is circular, 360 degrees around the stem, a perfect ball. Queen Anne’s lace points up from the stem. Doesn’t matter that much but thought you might like to know!

    About the new products. Wonderful. You do know what we need. I love dandelions even if most people consider them weeds, they look so festive, all that bright yellow, and then the fluffy heads.

  514. Christmas is the perfect time to make gift wrap and matching tags. Love the ideas that are posted today. I know for sure I must have Tag It’s 8, Think Big 8, Layerz Mat Stack 2 and something else but I can’t decide which. I need to see the other reveal days this week before I can make the tough choice! I am a big fan of all the smaller items that can build with other items. Thanks for all the great ideas!

  515. All the stamp sets are so beautiful, and I love the fact that I don’t have to choose which ones I want, since they are all $5. I think my favorite card from today was the Tis the Season card.

  516. Two things I absolutely do every holiday season is homemade cards and holiday tags. I just love what I have seen so far this release and my mind is beginning to formulate some plans.
