Say goodbye to the Two Tags Die

I hated to see the Two Tags Die (item 115954) on the Retirement List (click HERE for the Retiring Accessories list). I’ve shed some tears over this one – It is absolutely one of my favorite dies and is a lot of fun to use too.

Here is a great card I got in a swap at Leadership using our Parker’s Pattern Designer Series Paper (item 131021) and the Two Tags Die. Isn’t it lovely?

Spring Sampler Bookmarks

I love to make things to give and this week I want to try making some quick bookmarks for spring. The Spring Sampler stamp set (item 125510/125512) from the Spring Catalog is one of my favorites and since it has such a great variety of images I started there. And of course my Big Shot dies make things quick when I want to do a large number of items so I pulled out my trusty Two Tags Die – love it right!?!

Here is what I came up with – I think my Spring Sampler Bookmarks will be a hit when I hand them out.

Spring Sampler Easter Treat

Easter is right around the corner and will be here before we know it. So I’ve been creating some little treats for family and friends filled with these cute little chocolate covered bunnies I found at the local Dollar Store. I just love using the Spring Sampler Stamp Set (item 125510/125512) from the Spring Catalog. I knew it was a must have set for me since it makes a quick and easy focal point for any project. And since the Spring Sampler Stamp Set has 24 images you can use it for all kinds of occasions!
