Tinful of Tags

 Hi all and welcome to another week of the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. This week the challenge is to stamp and punch!

I started with the Tim Holtz bird punch and everything worked out from there.  I create a tin to hold my tags:
And on the inside:

I used the Idea-Ology Pocket squares to cut and use on the outside and inside and edged with tissue tape. 

 And then created a series of tags to put in there:


 A close up of the different tags:


 I started with the pocket cards and cut them to size to fit the tin.  I then punched out the birds in the corner of the tags.
I pulled out a variety of stamps, rub-ons and paints to decorate the various tags.
I have to admit I have a few favorites of all the different tags I created although some I created at first grew on me over time.
The background on the coral one is actually a stamped floral background but it gave such a soft lovely effect I decided to add the Eiffel Tower.
The last one used a touch of watercolor pencils to color in the flowers and then a touch of sequins for a touch of texture.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

  8. Wow, Suzz! Never has one little bird had so many super-cool backgrounds to play around on! I love how each of your pieces is different, yet unified through the bird punch. Clever, clever and I will be the first to support anything that involves a tin...especially when re-done with your signature style!
