Western Flair TX Tag

Created this Western Flair Tag using Tags, Bags,
Boxes & More Cricut cartridge.

Used Kraft cardstock. Cut 2 of the Tag
images. After stamping & embossing one
tag I attached one tag to back for sturdiness.

Used some Texas rubber stamps bought from
local store, Stamp Asylum.

Heat embossed using VersaMark ink & embossing
powder. Was nervous about getting blue where it
needed to be on the BlueBonnets & green for the
leaves.

Embossed the tag with embossing folder.

Inked the edges of the tag with Tim Holtz Distress
Ink.

Finshed tag off with ribbon that K Andrew had
wrapped around a stamp set I had won from her.

Photographed near BlueBonnets in my backyard.

Easter Bunny Basket Treat Holder

Created this Easter Bunny Treat holder to send to
my daughter filled with Easter treats of course. Can
be used as an Easter party decoration also.

Made it using a green plastic cherry tomato holder.

Used Sizzix Bunny & Flower die cut. Used Martha
Stewart edge punch for basket handle. You punch
pattern down one side of approx 1in strip of cardstock
and then flip to punch on other side and you get a
joined left & right pattern
