Now, for my card...today we get to feature any set we'd like, so I chose the Compact Family set because I had a this special gift set in mind for a dear friend.
I love the sentiment " a hug from your..."! It's perfect because you can add whatever you want to the end of it; Friend, Mom, Auntie, Daughter...etc. Obviously I chose friend and framed them with various diecuts. I used Fancy Tags Two, Floral Ovals, Classic Ovals, Wonderful Wings Grand and Labels 9 dies (Spellbinders).
I wanted to add a tag to the bag I made, and thought the Labels 25 die shape (Spellbinders) would make a beautiful tag. And Claire designed the most beautiful image to fit inside it. It's included in the Paris Nouveau set. I included the sentiment "You make me smile with all my heart", from the new Compact Sentiments ~Part 2 set, to the center.
Here's a look at the bag. Now I'm not a sewer, but this was super easy to put together. And I'm happy with how it turned out. I filled it with a huge variety of wrinkled seam binding ribbon and lace. A perfect filler for a vintage inspired bag I thought. :)
That's it for me today. Next stop, the ever inspirational and super sweet Becca.Thanks for visiting today!!
Happy Stamping!!
