Day 3 of the Papertrey Ink April countdown has arrived and I have more to share with you today using Flower Fusion #3. I'm excited that so many of you love these little sets as much as I do. Thanks so much for letting me know and leaving me such kind comments and e-mails! :)
Let's get right to business today....
Here is a picture of pretty much everything I used for todays project. I labeled everything in the picture except the ink which is Berry Sorbet and Dark Chocolate. I thought it might be easier for you all to have a visual of all the supplies! ;)
Back in February when Flower Fusion #1 was released I created a set of tags. You can see them HERE. I thought it would be kinda fun to create another set using Flower Fusion #3.
On each of the tags I stamped the gridline background from Background Basics: Geometrics off to the side. I'll give you a quick run down of what each of the flowers were made with on each of the tags:
- cork & FF #3 flower die
- Pure Poppy cardstock
- Bliss fabric (this is the only one that was not created with the FF #3 die...I just rolled a long piece of fabric into a rose/flower)
- Pure Poppy felt & embroidery floss
- Vintage Cream felt & one of the Beautiful Blooms #2 flower dies for the bottom flower, Bliss fabric & FF #3 flower die on top
- Pure Poppy felt & FF #3 die for bottom flower, Vintage Cream cardstock & FF #3 die on top flower...I stamped that in Berry Sorbet using one of the flower images in the set
- Bliss fabric & FF #3 flower die for the bottom flower and Vintage Cream felt & Beautiful Blooms #2 flower die for the top
- Vintage Cream cardstock & FF #3 flower die, both top and bottom flower were stamped in Berry Sorbet using one of the flower images in the set
- Bliss fabric & FF #3 flower die.... I created 5 flowers and then hot glued them all together to create a 'messy' more dimensional flower.
Two more days of projects to share and then Flower Fusion #3 and all of the other Papertrey goodies you have been eyeing will be available. Sit back and relax this morning with your cup of coffee or tea and hop on over to visit the rest of the Papertrey gals....
So glad you stopped by today! See you right back here tomorrow....
Wonderful tags. Just gorgeous. I love those nice colors together, and all those materials make them so special. Thanks for the inspirations.

WOW the girl is a wizz with fabric as well, and I do love the labelling in the first photo, AND the colour combination is brilliant. Keep up the great work.

So colorful! These tags make wonderful additions to gifts, or just to send to a friend, to cheer up the day! There are dark rainclouds floating over here, but these tags brighten up my screen! Love that! The fabric is just amazing as well, going to have a look at the Papertrey site now, to see if it's available there, so pretty!
Wishing you a lovely day!
Hugs, Wendy

Love those tags they are happy of color and sweet at the same time.

What adorable tags! Thanks for being so specific about what you used on each one. I love the mix-and-match with the Beautiful Blooms dies! What a great idea!

Ahhh another incredible tag set from you! I adored the first one and I adore this set too! I think these would make a great gift for my Mom who is always giving a gift to someone - so handy to tie onto the package. Love how you put them together and add the touches of fabric etc. They are really pretty! Love your FF stamp sets!

Wow! Amazing tags, amazing colors, love how quick and easy these are to put together even though there are quite a few ingredients used! And thank you so much for showing the picture of the supplies, Melissa!

Another outstanding post. Your fabric rose is perfect. Think all of your flowers are so cute. Love the lace you used. Everything is just perfect. Love seeing all of the tags in a group. It would make a nice gift for a gift giver, like Jill said, or just to have on hand. Thanks for all your beautiful work, the stamps, the sentiments, the dies and the samples. Great job.

These tags are fab! The colors make me smile, but what you've created inspires me. Thanks

Wow - fantastic tags! You are just so creative. I can't believe all the ways you switched it up on those flowers. So, so very awesome. Thanks for the fabulous inspiration! ;-)

Wow again. I love all of these little tags. Having a stash of tags makes those last minute surprise gifts a snap. Both my kids love to have cards and tags at the ready for birthday gifts. Both of them teenagers but love to give handmade. Flower Fusion is such a useful line of stamps and dies. So many options.

these are fabulous Mel!!

Wonderful tags using this latest FF. I like the dimension each flower has and the different designs. LOVE your idea to use the lace for the tail on the tags. Great ideas!
Posted by: Carol R | Tuesday, April 12, 2011 at 04:04 PM
I adore all of your tags. I must tell you that up until a few months ago, I had never made a tag. I found them intimidating and could never figure out how to add them to a card. Since seeing your tags, which I love, I had to give them a try. I can't stop making tags now. Thanks for getting me started.

I love your flowers! I ordered your other flower fusion sets just recently. I will be wanting this third set with my next order. Your tags came out great. I love the colors you picked for them.
