Tag: Anything Goes! - Patriotic Tag

If you fully obey the Lord your God

and carefully follow all his commands I give you today,

 the Lord your God will set you high above

 all the nations on earth.

All these blessings will come on you and

 accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:

 You will be blessed in the city

 and blessed in THE COUNTRY.

Deuteronomy 28 : 1-3

Welcome to Thursday Totally Tags ‘n’ ATCs in conjunction with MyPaperCrafting.com!  Every Thursday we on the Design Team do a team post featuring Tags n' ATC's.  We have a specific Theme each week featuring an element, technique or embellishment.  We all come up with something excitingly different – using various types of tools, etc. to create our projects...i.e., Cricut, CAMEO, Spellbinders, punches, stamps, paint, material, lace, inks, etc.   The sky's the limit!  The only restriction...  If we use SVG's or Digi's, we will only use those from the vast selection at PCW.  There are some changes coming for the next few summer months, so please keep track of things by visiting Melin’s blog – and checking back here often.  I’ll let You know, when I know how things will work out.  Actually, at this point, this will be the last Tags ‘n’ ATCs until further notice – at least for the summer.   I’ll continue to post something regularly, so don’t think that I’m stopping – just that the MPC Design Team is ‘backing off’ for a while…

The Theme for this week’s projects is ANYTHING GOES!  The freedom to do whatever one wants to do may be a blessing – or a frustration – depending on how long it takes to decide on what to do!  Since our Independence Day Celebration is near, I decided to do a tag with that in mind.  With my son being a Marine Captain, I am always partial to making things with a patriotic or military design.  I couldn’t resist including my ‘signature Blossoms’ and a little Bling here and there.  If he thinks it’s ‘too feminine’ for him, I think he might know of Someone who might appreciate it…  *giggle-smile*

Here it is:

I cut a white cardstock base using a Spellbinders die.  I added a piece of Star Embossed navy cardstock and some red and white striped paper.  I added a half of a white round doily Spellbinders die cut.  I punched navy (MS) leaves and branches for the floral spray base.  I added navy, red and white flowers and gems.  I added a tiny white (MS) punched butterfly at the top.  I added a white punched star (Creative Memories) to the top right of the tag and added a circlet of rhinestones on it…reminiscent of the original 13-star flag made by Betsy Ross!  I added a striped ribbon to the top – so that it could be hung – on a bottle or a gift or some place in Someone’s home…
