Laurie Schmidlin is featuring Bite Size Tags + Truffle Tote Box Dies

Bite Size Tag Trio (detail 1) by Laurie Schmidlin

I think now of my favorite things about the Bite Size Tags dies is the small reinforcement tabs that are includes. That little pop of color adds such a nice, professional looking finished detail. Not to mention it also serves the function of helping the twine from ripping through the tag.

Laure always has such a way with adding beautiful layers but not making things too fussy. You can see how she took full advantage of the embossed center of the scalloped frame, allowing the stamped dotted frame and apple to tuck nicely into that space.

Aren't these just the sweetest? I love how Laurie used the width of the new Truffle Tote Box to the fullest with a long narrow label that fits three pieces of fruit. The fruit in this set has such a bold clean look to it, ink blending works beautifully with it.
