My Cards and Tags: Frankie Party Time Tag using My Favorite Things' Trendy Tag and Tim Holtz's Ghoulish Die

"Frame It" is this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme, so frame it I did!  I made this Frankie tag and positioned him so he looks like he's carrying his own frame to the party.

I was feeling the yen to do some gelli printing, so I got out my gel plate, some paint, and my Dina Wakley Spaced Dots stencil.  This is how my printings turned out:

I took a small section and cut a tag shape out of it using my Sizzix Big Shot and My Favorite Things' Trendy Tag die (it comes with a tag and with the scalloped frame).  I glued down some Tim Holtz Typeset Collage paper just to get the background going...somewhere.

From here, it was just a matter of cutting out a Frankie using black paper and Tim Holtz's Ghoulish die.  I painted the frame green and teal, added black paint around the edges, gave Frankie a party hat and this tag was looking done.  To finish it off, I splattered a bit of Dina Wakley's Ocean Gloss Spray onto the tag and added a "Party Time" sign from the Dylusions Back Chat sticker set.

My Cards and Tags: Flower Tag using Simon Says Stamp's Deco Squares and Inky Antics' Color Wheel Stamps

Welcome to September!  I love this time of year for many reasons, but one highlight is Simon Says Stamp's STAMPtember® stamping celebration!  I always look forward to seeing their collaborative limited edition products.

Our Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog theme is to use your favorite stamp.  I made this tag using Simon's very own Deco Squares stamp and Inky Antics' Color Wheel stamp.

I started by cutting a tag (Maker's Movement Nested Box tags) and heat-embossing the deco squares onto it using Distress Embossing Ink and white embossing powder.  I added some Infusions, some Dina Wakley gloss spray and spritzed it with water.  When that dried, I stenciled some white paint on using Simon's Snow Falling stencil.

Next I stamped on some circles from Inky Antics' Color Wheel stamp set and painted them in with Jane Davenport's Mermaid Markers.

I wanted a little more pink, so I dabbed on some pink acrylic paint.

I cut some rose shapes out of patterned paper using a rose die, then rolled them into shape.

I stitched some stems onto my tag using a sewing machine, then glued the rolled-up roses on top.

This tag was done!  Here are the supplies I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
