Treat Yourself & You're Stinkin' Cute Gift Tag

I put together this gift tag using the Treat Yourself and You're Stinkin' Cute mini sets from Lawn Fawn, and loved the finished product! I stamped each image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored in the images using watercolor pencils. I die cut a circle using a circle stackables die set, and mounted the images with foam squares. I finished the tag with blue and white bakers twine from Paper Source, and wrote the to/from info on the back of the tag, for my sweet niece!


This tag is being entered into the current Lawnscaping Challenge #126: Sweets.

Lawnscaping Challenge #123: Sending Love (Entry 1)

02/18/16 Update: My card was selected as an Honorable Gnome for the Lawnscaping Challenge! :)



Original Post:
The current Lawnscaping Challenge is on one of my favorite topics! Being from Loveland, Colorado, I absolutely LOVE Valentine's Day and all things love!

I sent out two sets of Valentine's this year, the first using the Treat Yourself stamp set from Lawn Fawn, and using additional hearts from Love You a Latte and Baked With Love.

I used distress inks to add the watercolor 'splash' effect and to color in the heat-embossed ice cream stamps. I also stamped a variety of the hearts from the different sets on the background using a coral-pink pigment ink, and I embossed the sentiment with clear embossing powder. I rounded opposite corners before mounting the panel to the Paper Source mint card (which is my favorite use of a corner rounder!), and added the die-cut images with foam squares.

This was my favorite, but I made a handful of these in a variety of colors.





Enjoy! <3
