Friday Die Day

Hello friends
 
This week's Friday Die Day is featuring
Decorative Swallowtail Tags.
A Shapeabilities die set designed by Becca Feeken for her
Amazing Paper Grace collection.
The approximate measurements are:
 
Tag Small: 2.00 x 3.25 in
Tag Large: 2.85 x 4.75 in
Banner: 4.40 x 1.00 in
Accent: 2.20 x 2.20 in
 
This is how they look cut/embossed.

 
I've chosen to make a card and die cut one Tag Large and Banner from
gold mirror card.
I also typed a sentiment on my computer (font is French Script)
and die cut that with a die from A2 Matting Basics.

 
I chopped the banner die cut in half placed behind Tag Large and placed
Tag Small on top.

 
My card base is 6 x 6 Matting Basics with a further 6 x 6 mat
cut from ivory card.

 
Centered my tags and placed the sentiment across.
Placed a few pearls to decorate.

 
It was actually dry and sunny on the day I took the photos!


 
 
Decorative Swallowtail Tags is available from your Spellbinders
retailer now and look out for some further designer collections coming up -
lots of lovely things!
 
Wishing you all a great weekend, I'm going to be at Sophie's Crafts in Oldham,
I shall be doing a workshop and a demo - busy busy!
 
Take care friends.
