Trendy Tabs

It's that time again! Group post day for the Papertrey Ink Design Team!

This month we are showcasing the amazing new stamp set by Heather Nichols, Mini Scrapbook Series: Tabs. (Available March 15th through Papertrey Ink)

I had an "Ah-ha!" moment with this set that i wanted to share too!

 

(Click on the photos for a more detailed view)

This set has a plethora of sentiments and tap images that are perfect for so many things. Scrap pages, Mini books, Composition books, list books and cards just to name a few! (See the little New Leaf tab die cut tab on the side of my card?) Now... notice how those little tab images fit so quaintly into the flower petals of this Marvy Giga flower punch! I embossed everything except the flower stamp to really make the card POP!

I used Polka Dot Basics II and the soon to be released Background Basics: Botanical stamp set to add dimension. A little Zva Creative Crystal flourish is used to bling it up a bit.

I love being able to create something unexpected with a stamp set. I'm in love with stamping and it's little discoveries like this that keep me enthralled! BTW... I'm totally loving the newest Papertrey Ink color, LOVING IT!

I hope you will check out all of the amazing project that the other ladies have created for this fun day! They simply take my breath away!

How clever and lovely, Liza. Erin's project showed how well these little images work with the scallop border, and now here you are showing what you can do using it with a flower! If I didn't know better, I'd say you two were conspiring to make this set a "gotta have"! LOL Thanks so much for sharing this great idea.
