i have several things to share with you today!
one of my favorite crafty things to do is take a small little gift, wrap it, and add a quick tag. i especially like to surprise the little people in my life with these gifties, but it makes kids of all ages so happy to unwrap a little something- even if it's a .50c candy bar or a new box of crayons. people seem to enjoy the tags too. i always add enough ribbon so the tags can hang somewhere- a doorknob, a dresser drawer pull, over a chair back, etc. they are fun to make, and a great way to use up scraps, practice new techniques and coloring ideas- so everyone wins!
these are some tags i made the other day to surprise 2 special little boys i know- and what little boy (or girl) doesn't love some cute robots?!
Stamps: MFT Bunch of Bots and the teeny weeny heart on the top tag is from MFT's Love Machine sentiments from these sets too
Paper: Creative Cafe tags, MFT cream paper panels, MFT Robot digi paper
Ink: memento tuxedo black
Accessories copic markers, MFT dienamics (cloud trio die) nesties, pop dots, ribbon (michael's)
Other: wrapping paper is from target
up next is a card for a dear friend's daughter who recently graduated from high school. it's a 'girlie' version of the recent graduation card i had made for our little brother.

it's almost identical, except i used lots of bright yellow (her school color) a thicker twine and a big flower that i custom colored to match with copic markers. you NEED this set if you have any graduation events in your life- now or later! in fact, you NEED all 3 Fred Bear sets- 'cause he's so adorable!!
STAMPS: MFT Fred Bear Graduates
PAPERS: MFT paper panels, cardstocks (MFT banana split, bazzill), basic grey patterned paper (from june bug paper pad)
INK: memento tuxedo black
ACCESSORIES: copics, nesties, MFT dienamics large scallop, pop dots, MFT cork, MFT earth girl button, thick twine (home depot)
