Constantly Stamping

Rustic Wedding Tags with Bloom & Grow Stamp Set

 

As a craft blogger, I spend a lot of time on Pinterest and Etsy looking for creative inspiration. It is a great way to spot trends as well. One of the things I recently noticed is that country/rustic weddings are still very popular and there are quite a few products designed for the bride-to-be. So I decided to come up with my own gift tags that even the busiest of brides can pull together in a hurry.

With just a few simple items, you can make these rustic tags.

Here's what you will need to make your own tags. If you are in the United States, you can purchase these items in my online store.

Global Design Project #GDP179: Theme Challenge

Our challenge this week at Global Design Project is Sweeter than Candy. I really struggled with this one because I just don't have that many stamps that fit into this category.

So, instead of making a card, I made meringue cookie pops. Making the pops was really fun and fairly easy. This was my very first try at making them and they turned out pretty well. I just used 2 egg whites and beat until stiff, then I added 1/4 tsp. cream of tarter and 1/2 cup of sugar (added gradually). Toward the end I added yellow food coloring and about 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. I used about two-thirds of the yellow batch and a piping bag to create the flower and then I added some blue and green food coloring to the remaining third to create the green for the leaves. Finally, I baked them on parchment paper at 225 degrees F for about one hour and forty-five minutes. Once cooled I placed them in 3"x6" Gusseted Cellophane Bags (#141704) and tied them closed with some 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon (#146912).

I cut 7/8"x3" strips of Whisper White and Pear Pizzazz cardstock. I stamped a greeting from the More Than Words photopolymer stamp set (#150069). This versatile sentiment set is only available for a limited time so if you want it, get it today.

I decided to keep the stamping simple, so that is pretty much all there is to it. (#simplestamping)

We would love to have you play along with us this week. Be sure to check out what the other talented designers/players have created for this fun challenge at the Global Design Project Challenge Blog.
