Such a versatile challenge!

Want to know how I created my card, and what products I used? Please keep on reading.
To create my card I die cut the cute little angels and the arched heart border. I cut the purple angel out of white cardstock and then inked it in two different shades of purple. The little fallen angel/devil was cut out of black cardstock. I die cut the border twice once from white cardstock and once from a piece of cardstock I had ink blended in purple. I also die cut a stiched panel, on which I addhered the piece of white cardstock with the heart border. To fill in the hearts on the border I used the little purple hearts from the border I cut from the purple cardstock. I added the angels on top of the border, with the purple little angel blowing a golden heart/love towards the fallen angel/devil. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in gold embossing powder, "Where there is great love there are always miracles", isn't it a beautiful sentiment?! The panel was then addhered to a card base.

Gorgeous Gift Tags IG Hop - May 2025

 Hello Crafty Friends,

Do you like gift tags, and creating them? Then I have some exciting news for you..... today we are launching a new inspiration hop on Instagram - The Gorgeous Gift Tags IG Hop. A hop filled with gift tags for you to be inspired by. So head on over to Instagram and check it out, and if you are interested in joining the hop there is information on how to do so.

Gift tags are so much fun to create and perfect for almost every occasion, whether it is for a birthday, Christmas or to show you care. They also add a personal touch to a present/gift, which I love. I had so much fun making my gift tag for this first IG hop, I hope you like it!

I love this big, bold and beautiful flower, and even though it spills of the tag I like it. I started by die cutting a tag and the pieces for the flower. Before assembling the flower, and addhering it to the tag I coloured both the tag and the flower pieces using inks. To get the blotchy effect on the flower I splattered it with water. A sentiment and some ribbon was added and my tag was finished.

Products used
Die sets: "Tag Collection - Thinlits Die" and "Blossom - Thinlits Die" by Tim Holtz/ Sizzix
Inks: Distress Oxide Inks by Tim Holtz/ Ranger

I hope you are inspired to create something of your own, whether it is a gift tag or something else, and that you enjoy the Gorgeous Gift Tags IG Hop!

Take care and have fun!
