Birthday Wishes

Hello friends!  I'm so excited about the new release coming up at Verve to celebrate their 5th anniversary!  Part of the festivities are a number of challenges over at Splitcoast and I made this tag for Challenge #5 - Anything But a Card.  I thought the birthday sentiment was appropriate.  Happy birthday, Verve!

Things are getting hairy in my "studio" (and what I really mean is our dining room that has been converted to Glen's office and my craft room that we've shared for the 6 years we've lived in our apartment) now that we're packing to move to our very own home!  I've kept a few collections of patterned paper and my stamps will be the last thing I pack but my time to craft will start getting limited for sure! 

Anyway, I digress...  I started off with a large shipping tag and covered it with some patterned paper from an old Crate collection.  I stamped the flowers and leaves from Love's Flower on coordinating papers and pieced them.  The flowers are layered for dimension and finished with a colored pearl.  I stamped a greeting from Big Wish onto the tag and finished it with a little bee die from the collection, some found raffia and some twine.

Thanks for visiting today!

Supplies:  Stamps (Verve), Tag (Uline), DP/Embellishment - Neighborhood collection (Crate Paper), Pearls (Recollections), Twine (PTI), Raffia (my stash), Ink - Chocolate Chip (SU!), foam squares

  3. This is sooo super sweet Jen - always love what you create!!! I have that crate collection - you just made me want to take it out and start crafting!!! - hmm, problem is it's getting late here )-:
    Of course you'll miss all your crafty stuff but moving sounds sooo exciting !!! We've started looking for houses but it is so difficult, + we still haven't decided if we want to stay in the city or move out in the country - which makes it even more difficult (-: (what we do know though is that we need more SPACE (-: !!!)

    Have a wonderful day, Hugs, Karin
