Thursday's Throw Aways - Denim Again

With all the flower shows that HWNSNBP and I have been attending recently I was inspired to use my Blossom Party Die for this week's throw away.

Here's the start of the first project.............


After die cutting the flower pieces, I used my paper piercer to make a hole big enough for the brad to go through.  I cut the ribbon to approx. 9" and tapered each end.  The flower was added to the ribbon using the brad.  You can't see the back and I forgot to take a picture, but the ribbon is folded over the brad in the back and glued down. 



The second project revolves around some clothing tags I recently saved.  I thought these tags from Kohl's could be made over to something useful.


I used a regular white brad to put the blossom together and adhered it to the front with a large sticky dot. 


On the back I stamped the floral image from Vintage Vogue in Bordering Blue.  Then I stamped the bird tag from Garden From the Heart also in Bordering Blue, colored the bird and highlighted the edges.


Now I have a cute little package tie-on ready. 

I know I've used the denim before but it just seemed to be perfect for today's projects.

What do you think?

  1. Hard to say which is nicer - the cheerful country feel of the bookmark (?) with that great splash of red, or the more elegant sophistication of the white-centred gift-tag blossom.
    Have a good weekend :D.
