Global Design Project is beginning the month with a sketch challenge, and I have the perfect Tailor Made Tags Dies. There are two styles in the set, and I made a frame from one of the larger tags by cutting the middle with a Stitched Rectangles Die. I used In Color 6″ X 6″ Designer Paper in Evening Evergreen, backed it with Soft Succulent Cardstock for sturdiness, and placed it on Dimensionals. A bow of Linen Thread was tied through the hole at the top.
Perched on a Tag
The star of the show is the darling bird from the Perched In A Tree Stamp Set. I stamped her in Early Espresso Ink On Basic White Cardstock, and used her Aspen Trees Die for cutting. The stamps and dies come in a bundle for a 10% savings, which you can see in my Product List below.
After cutting, she was easy to color with Light and Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. She is attached with Dimensionals, but her feet are glued.
The sentiment, “Let Heaven and nature sing,” is also from the Perched In A Tree Stamp Set, stamped in Evening Evergreen Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping, I cut the sentiment by hand, and glued it on the tag.
The background is a beautiful, pinecone, pattern of Painted Christmas Designer Paper, cut with the second largest Stictched Rectangles Die. This is layered on Soft Succulent Cardstock, cut with the largest Stitched Rectangles Die. The card base is Evening Evergreen Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4/14.

Love the card you made here Su. I have a question. On the stamp cases behind you in the photo, what do the green and yellow stickers tell you? I might want to use that idea for my stamp cases if you don’t mind. Thank you!
Thank you, Lynn! Initially, the colors indicated the year, but with carry-overs it became confusing, so I discontinued the practice. I only use current products, and need to do some serious down-sizing of my collection.
Thank you Su. ☺
I look forward to reading your email posts every day. Love your card design layouts. They are fun, whimsical, doable, yet elegant at the same time. Would love to see you make this design again w reds & bird coloured as a robin. My European friends would love it. Enjoy your day
Thank you, Deborah! Reds and a robin would be delightful!
Thanks to inspire me
Just beautiful! I love how you’ve cut out the middle of the tag to show the paper in back.
Thank you, Cheryl! I appreciate you noticing!
Your card is so so lovely….
I appreciate you telling me! Thank you, Michelle!
Hi Su,
