It's time again for Tag Tuesday! As I was trying to beat the heat I decided a "summer-y" themed tag would be in order. I love all of the fun and colourful party supplies that are on the market these days. I especially love the Stylish Stix from Queen and Co. I pulled out a few packs of the Cherry Bomb ones and started playing with them and this is what I came up with…
By attaching 7 of the stix together to create a makeshift "raft" it became the perfect base for a tag! A few stamped Hero Arts butterflies and die cuts and stickers from Little Yellow Bicycle finished it off nicely.
To keep the stix together, I secured them by wrapping ribbon and double sided tape around the bottom and the top. I also added some vellum tape and twine.
The die cuts and stickers are the perfect topper. This little tag would make a perfect party favour, teacher thank you tag or BBQ invite!!!
Hope this one gives you the inspiration to repurpose some straws into something fun!
Did you also catch Vicki's video for Simple Stories? It's the 2nd installment in her Sn@p series and showcase more of the I {Heart} Summer collection.
If you have been away and did not see our celebration on Friday for the release of our 30th issue (OH MY!), then be sure to check out our post HERE for all the details! We had our biggest reveal day ever and cannot thank all our friends/fans/followers from around the world enough for joining us. It was a very special day made even more special because of YOU! The prizes from all our partners did not hurt either :) Don't miss it!
Have a great Tuesday friends!
