Quick Gift Idea With The Craft's Meow

 
Preview Day #2 is here!
 
There's so much fun going on at The Crafts Meow! They are releasing FIVE new stamp sets. Be sure to stop by my blog from now until May 21st to see all of the new products coming out this month.
 
We're kicking off today with the stamp set called "Wildflowers".
 
Set your stopwatch for this one folks!
 
I actually put this giftie together in less than 5 minutes.
 
 
Here's how I did it:
 
1. I got the mini journal from Target
{It's already covered in decorative paper too}
 
2. I stamped the sentiment and butterfly from the Wildflowers set onto cardstock.
 
3. I used the Lifestyle Crafts Label It Kit Die to make the stamped shape.
(use code "Cokie" for 20% off any LC dies)
 
4. I used my SU punch to make the butterfly.
 
5. Use pop dots to add them to the front of your mini journal.
 
6. Add hemp twine to the left side of your journal.
 
7. Give to someone & make them SMILE!

Wanna win this set?

It's Time to Get Tag Creative


 
Before we begin today I just wanted to let everyone know that there are two exciting blog hops and giveaways still going on. To find out more about them, please see the two posts right under this one.
 
Now let's get this party started!
 
And by the way, I'm linking this one up to Moxie Fab World's 350 Cards & Gifts Week: The Gift Tag Challenge .
 
Many of you know that I love making gift tags. I like to think outside the box whenever I create one.
 

There is no need to just make traditional tags anymore.
 
Have fun and get creative with it.
 
This type of gift tag can be added to a box, bag, or even a yummy treat.
 
Oh and all of the goodies used to make it are from GCD Studios Special Delivery collection.
 
I used a couple of Lifestyle Crafts dies too.
 

 
I hope you all enjoyed the "Tag Party" today!
