Hi! I’m here for the first day of the LOVE TAGplorations event. The event will last for 7 days, with the final day being Valentine’s Day. The STAMPlorations Girls will be showcasing love-themed or Valentine’s Day tags. You can play along too!
Here’s my tagged card.
I started by stamping the bird from STAMPlorations Trendy Birds 2, carefully inking up the stamp with a variety of colors, onto some white cardstock.

I masked off the bird and branch with some removable sticky label. Next, I sponged yellow and light green ink through the ARTplorations stencil Leaf Prints.
Then, I used the another ARTplorations stencil and added some tinted embossing paste with Retro Circles.
I made a tag using the CUTplorations Luggage Tags Nesting Dies.
I added pink embossing paste to the tag with the Dots All Over ARTplorations Stencil.
After the tag dried, I sponged on some deep pink ink onto the card front and the tag, using the Zen Hearts ARTplorations stencil.
Then, I die cut the “XOXO” sentiment with the CUTplorations XOXO Word Die out of the tag and inlaid another white die cut into the tag.
I rounded all of the corners of my mixed media bird panel, the yellow mat, and the card base. Lastly, I assembled the panels to the card and attached the tag sentiment and a bit of turquoise twine. 
I had a lot of fun making this tagged card! Make sure you stop by and check out the STAMPlorations Girls’ superb creations!
Thanks for stopping by!
Grace & Peace,
Melissa
