Papertrey June Blog Hop

Today is Papertrey's Blog Hop and I've been looking forward to it but too busy the last few weeks to pre-make a card.  Now my husband and I are at my daughter's helping her get ready to move in August. When I left my house I rapidly threw some stamps, ink and dies in a bag thinking I would borrow other stuff from my daughter.  So I planned out my card and went in search of her Cuttlebug. OK, found it in the box. Opened it up and there is no C plate.  Where is her C plate? How can I cut without a C plate?  She is an hour and a half away teaching at a music camp so I can't ask her. I tried to improvise but no go. Rats! I'm reduced to scissors! Arghh!!  So here is a pic of my simplified card, no fussy cutting for me,  taken with my phone.





I stamped the flower and then traced a tag die around it with a pencil. The flowers look red but they are really an orange color.  Then using my trusty scissors I cut out the tag. I punched a hole and added some twine. This little tag is popped up on dimensionals with the sentiment stamped below.

So it's clean and simple and I hope that you like it :-)




SUPPLIES:
Stamps: Petite Pots (PTI)
Paper: White (PTI)
Ink: Terracotta Tile, Lemon Tart, Simply Chartreuse, Smokey Shadow (PTI), Versafine Onyx Black
Other: Timeless Tags 2 for tracing(WP9), twine, dimensionals, scissors

    What are these things you refer to called "scissors?" LOL! To think that's how many of us started and crafted for years without die-cutting machines! And you did a beautiful job with them, too, Deb! This is a gorgeous CASlicous card!! Hugs, Darnell

    Oops, sorry Mom! I really do have a C plate on my craft shelf! I guess it's hiding. Your card is beautiful, even without the Cuttlebug!

    This is adorable! And I can't believe you hand cut that tag; if you hadn't told us we'd never have known! :)
