A tag for you

Hello there crafters!
I hope you're all fine and warm! We had more than 30 cm of snow here on Friday, so it's all soft and white around. I have a birthday tag to share with you today. I made it for a friend who wanted something special to add to her birthday gift for a neighbour. I've used a few Spellbinders dies to create the embellishments, like flowers, leaves and the lattice reminding a trellis on which roses grow. I glued some Flower Soft to the leaves to add a winter, snowy touch. Some glitter, pearls and silky ribbon could not be missing on such a vintage tag, right? :D The pin is my creation, too.

Have a nice Sunday and enjoy what is left of this crazy holiday season!

Green and dark red card

Hello there stampers!
I hope you've had a nice and relaxing weekend - alas, the weekend always flies by much too quickly, don't you think? Anyhow, in spite of the weather which is still VERY hot around here, I have used more autumn-like colours for this card of mine. It was especially created for a friend who had an advancement in her career, and as such I thought I needed a "serious, almost institutional" card, tee hee!! The dark red rose was made using the large Bitty Blossoms Spellbinders die - love that set and the beautiful flowers it can create! The sentiment and leaves were cut using more of my nesties - what would we all crafters do without them? Lace and ribbon are from my own stash.
Thanks for stopping by and ... off to watch the Olympic games now! :D

Love, Vittoria
