Pink Slippers

     I was digging through my bag of finished products that I have for sale in my shops when I found a set of gift tags that I never listed.  These are so cute, they are made using two different Cricut cartridges, the Ornamental Iron and Wall Decor and I used Design Studio to weld the shoes inside the iron gate.  Welding allows me to cut out the design as one design and not have to worry about cutting two separate images and then somehow attaching them together to get them to look like one image.  If you want to view the other photos of these tags, you can see them in my Storenvy shop.

     The little bows were made using the fork method which I have a link to the "How To" video here and in an older post in my blog also.  They were super easy to make and so cute.

A new Note Card

     I somehow ended up with 2 extra Note Cards that are based on the "Gnomes in the Garden" collection, but did not have enough of the little gnomes to use on them.  I think they turned out really cute even without the Gnomes. 
     I still used the Freshly Picked Cricut cartridge to design the flower pots and I used all the different layers features to get the 3-d effect.  The diecut word "Bloom" is also from the same cartridge, they even have a handmade seed pack option that I going to try out. This card is 5x7 and made from white card stock and I cut out enough of the "Bloom" word's to glue to the back flap of the envelopes in order to match the cards.
     The butterflies were made from the Picturesque cartridge and I used the base and frame options for the layers.  I only glued the center portion of the butterflies body so that I could lift up the wings and give them the "taking flight" look.

The tags I made for my sister's Birthday...

     Well.... my sister received her gift and she loves them! yay! here are the tags that I made for her:

     I used the Picturesque cartridge to make the butterfly, and cut 2 copies.  I painted both with my pink glitter concoction and then used foam adhesive strips in the center of the 1st layer of the butterfly and attached the 2nd layer.  I then pulled the wings up on both layers to give it that "fly away" look.  I also used the ornamental iron cartridge to add the gate frame to the border of the tag.

Gift Tag using Picturesque Cartridge

     

     I need to start taking notes when I'm making different items, it's getting hard to remember which cartridge I used to make what item lol.
     Anyway, I used the Picturesque cartridge on the tag setting to first make the frame that I used for the overlay in the rose pattern paper then I glued that to the tag.  The tag itself was also cut from that cartridge and I glued a base of green patterned paper, then put the frame of the cut out tag on top of that.  I chose the butterfly because I liked how the wings went outside the tag a bit.  I then cut another butterfly frame without the tag and the butterfly shadow.  I painted both of those pieces with my glitter concoction that I made and used a bit of my glue runner to glue the 3 layers of the butterfly together.  I put the glue only on the middle body of the butterfly so that I could then fold the wings inward and give them the lift that they have here.  It looks like the butterfly is just about to fly right off the tag.  
     Then, for the bottom of the tag, I used another patterned paper and the Ornamental Iron cartridge and cut a gate the same width as my tag and attached it.  I did not use any glitter on the gate.
     The tag itself is pretty large, it's 4.5x3.5 and I used the Cricut sampler to cut the "To" and "From" lettering on the back of the tag.
