 I just had to create some sweet Christmas Tags with the new Baking Spirits Bright set over at Unity Stamp Co.!

 Summer is almost here and this set form Unity Stamp Co. has the perfect images to celebrate!

 I had so much fun this morning colouring up this sweet little guy from Unity Stamp Co. *affiliate link with my watercolour distress pencils to make a Christmas tag!

2025 Christmas Tag Count: 8 + 1 = 9

 I am thrilled to say that I am now on the Unity Design Team for Unity Stamp Co.! Here is the first project I have created using stamps from the October Kit of the Month! *These are my affiliate links :)

2025 Christmas Tag Count: 4 + 4 = 8

 Having several teacher thank you cards to make this year, I decided to make up some bookmarks instead using the Stitched Bookmark die from Lawn Fawn!

 I wanted to make up some Christmas gift tags to send to our dinosaur-loving nephews, so I took out some dinosaurs I had already coloured up from the Lawn Fawn Rawrsome set. 

 I am still playing around with this fun STAMPtember set from Tim Holtz x Stampers Anonymous and coloured up some of the reindeer wreath images along with some presents and sweaters.

 Here is a birthday card I made up for one of our little friends!

 I am beyond EXCITED to announce that I am a Design Team Member for Studio Katia! I have been using this Canadian company's amazing products for years and I am thrilled to be a part of the team. For my first project, I just had to pull out the daisies from the Daisy Bunch stamp set. First, I stamped the daisies onto a piece of white cardstock using a black archival ink using my stamping platform. I left the stamp setup so that I could come back to it later. I then diecut that panel using the dotted rectangle from Dotted Patterns Set 1. 

 I had so much fun making up this little mermaid tag to go along with a gift my son was giving to his friend.

 I managed to fit in a tiny bit of time to make some fun Christmas tags this year! These ones are for my boys (and I made a couple similar ones for some little friends too!). I was inspired by Lawn Fawn designer Tammy Stark's design earlier this season.

 I definitely ran out of time to make tags this year; however, I was able to quickly throw together a few using some fantastic sets from Pigment Craft Co. 

 This time of year I am often thinking of a very special lady in my life and I wish she was still here with us. To honour her this year I made a couple of plantable tags to give to my Mom and one of my Aunts who lives in town. My Grandma loved yellow roses so I thought it would be fitting to create these tags with those being the feature.

When I saw this set to be released from Lawn Fawn earlier this year, I could immediately picture making the cutest bookmarks and tags for family and friends with it!
It is the Spring & Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and I just couldn't resist creating a sunny little tag. These Verve products will always be a favourite in my stash!

I was definitely busy in my craftroom last month! In March, I participated in the #MarchMeetTheMaker challenge hosted by Joanne Hawker, and it brought about many exciting things to my crafting - pushing myself to try new techniques, seeking out Canadian made plantable paper, and a collaboration with a local maker!

MountainTots is based out of Invermere, BC, and makes kids apparel designed for the outdoors, adventure, and exploration (and to fit over cloth diapers - yay!). With their spring launch this month, they will be offering a gift wrap option featuring my tags! I was so honoured to be involved in this collaboration and really love how Kyla's vision came together for these sweet tags. You can also read about MountainTots and other Kootenay clothing makers in the upcoming Kootenay Living magazine Summer 2019 issue.

The wood slices were cut and sanded by my Dad from branches that had fallen in his forest. I used my Cricut Air 2 to print the custom sentiment, "Handmade and Gifted with Love" and then used second generation stamping to add some subtle trees behind it.


This sweet sentiment from Papertrey Ink seemed to only need some stitched mountains at the bottom. I thought the stitched theme of the dies fit in well for a sewing company!


I used my Cricut for this custom sentiment, as well, that embodies the MountainTots brand - clothing made for adventurers! I love colouring up this sweet little Lawn Fawn fox.


Be sure to check out the latest launch this month from MountainTots!

Check out these wooden tags! My Dad made these for me from fallen branches from their orchard and forest, sanded them a bit, and drilled a little hole in them for me so that I could thread some twine through and stamp them how I wanted. I love how they turned out!

Stamps - Just For You (Lawn Fawn); Typed Note (CTMH)
Ink - Archival Black (CTMH); markers (Tombow)


I decided to make up some Mother's Day tags for the shoppe and of course I couldn't resist doing some watercolour with these sweet peas. The spring mood board over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge has so many spring feels one cannot help but be inspired! I used my favourite Simon Says Stamp tag die and topped these tags off with some gingham ribbon. Watercolouring definitely makes me happy so I am also linking up with the "happy times" challenge over at Heart2Heart. These gorgeous flowers were arranged by our local florists at MJ's Florals and the lovely Vancouver Candle Co. candle can be found at Lane and Meadow along with these tags!
