Good morning sweet friends, how are shoe? This tag is a ‘shoe-in’ to be a favorite for a bridal occasion and it’s plain ole fun for regular girly-girl and manly-man cards – I’m thinking Mothers Day, Fathers Day and Anniversary. Lol! Today I’m showing the tag I made for one of my make and takes at CHA 2016. These are dies in my new collection scheduled to be released in March 2016. This is truly a fun and whimsical addition to the line that I simply can’t get enough of. They are going to figure prominently in my cards, embellishments and yes – after an attendee opened my eyes – they will be perfect for my planner pages!
You saw them in the video and now here’s the close up so you can see the sweet detail on the pieces that get stacked together to assemble the simple to make Ladies Shoe and Gents Shoe. Since the make and take had to be simple enough to get people through the line in about 5 minutes or less, I used two of my new tags as a palette. I’ve used Arched Swallowtail Pennant as a backdrop and the ornate tag is called Decorative Swallowtail Tags – they are made for each other but easily used alone. Questions about how to get these – see my informational post about Who, What, When, Where and Why – HERE.
So are these fun? Eager to hear your thoughts! Have a fab day sweet friends, I’l be back tomorrow with a Day of Giving Friday that you have not seen yet. I hope you’ll like it!
These are quite elegant Becca….you are SOOOOOO CREATIVE!
Thanks for sharing your new goodies!
Paper Hugs,

WOW, great new dies, for the weddings coming, and showers too. Maybe even graduations….beautiful.
Ever so stunning, beautiful die cuts…..
Crazy love EVERYTHING!
Too much fun…and love the swallowtail dies, as well. I can already see that my wallet won’t stretch! Will have to be judicious about choosing! Can’t wait to see the others up close and personal! What fun you must have had designing and playing with these dies ahead of time, Becca!
Wow! More dies to add to my “Must Have These Dies” list!
Absolutely stunning!
This is such a clever idea and looks quite stunning. Well done Becca – you clever lady! Best wishes

Hi, Becca,
Fun, indeed! I love to see all the detail you put into everything you do, even something as “simple”(hardly!) as this creation.
Love & blessings,
Sandy
Oh what fun these are going to be! I have been on a self imposed do not buy anything, so I can save up for your complete collection, lol!
Becca, This is just too cute.
These are just to darn adorable! What a fantastic idea-so much can be done with these dies. Thanks Becca…..
Oh my gosh! These are soooo beautiful and can be used for some pretty fun cards and tags too, but they can certainly also be used for some really elegant cards for many different occasions as well. They´re really fabulous Becca.
Yes! These are super! Love them!
Simply fabulous! Love them.
love your new dies. what I like most is how you put thing together to make them work.
Oh what fun! So neat! Can’t wait to see more.
How elegant! This is a die set that will be on the top of my wish list for March! I can’t wait!!!

Ooooh I LOVE the new line!! It is so creative! March will not get here soon enough
Oh Becca, the shoes are so darn stinking cute. Have a granddaughter wedding coming up in about a year and a half and I just may have to have those. I love the swallowtail tags and I think that will be on my to get list very soon. You are so creative and thank you for you.
Beautiful new dies. Will they be available in the NEC, Birmingham, England in March. I’m going there and would love to be able to get some. Aiveen.
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous, all four dies are going to be in my shopping basket as soon as they come to the UK.
Absolutely stunning, Becca! Love the tag and pennants and of course, the shoes!! Can’t wait to see all the rest – so exciting! You never cease to “amaze” me – no wonder for your blog name!!

Love, love, love these shoe dies!! Your tag is so neat!
Hi Becca! First congratulations on ALL your success. I’ve been an admirer and follower for about 12 years now (back when you were a daily bread designer).
I must say I just love the shoes. I’ve seen them on cards and miniature shoes made from paper and wondered just how it’s done and if it was difficult. (HINT, HINT: A video on its construction would be nice.) :-)
I am wondering how either 2 of the lady or man’s shoe would look side by side? Will they look like to left or two right feet together , or they look like a left and right foot side by side?
Looking forward to your answer!
I have an awful feeling about the beating my pocket book will be taking :). I love your elegant, classic & timeless designs. The thought you put into making them versatile is an added bonus.
I’ve really enjoyed the pair of Arched Elegance die sets I purchased. Making the baskets was particularly enjoyable & generated a lot of comments & compliments.
Hi Becca, I don’t need a wedding card but the shoes are so darn cute and usable for lots of occasions as you said masculine and feminine ideas–“if the shoe fits,” birthdays, graduation, stepping out, stepping up, filling the shoes, dancing as if no one is watching, life-changing Cinderella item. Now if only I could come up with the cards to go with the themes. You can show me more down the road and these dies are must haves like all of your dies. Thanks for showing and being innovative and clever as well as classic and elegant. Nice, nice combinations. Barbara
Hi Becca,
These are beautiful! I love the new swallowtail tags.
Have a lovely day! x

Thank you for sharing your talent.
God Bless.

Hello Becca the shoes will be able to be used in lots of ways toooo cute !
Love the swallowtails can’t wait to see more and what you create with them
Thanks for sharing hugs Pamxxxxx
Hi Becca. Love these – so beautiful and a lovely addition to your stunning collection :-) Hugs xxx
Love, love, love these!!!
Beautiful….
Becca, you have done it again. such elegance and grace.
Thank you for sharing… I wish you would come to Houston – CKC
Love the shoes but have to say my favorite (of this group) would
be the swallowtail tags. The swirl at the top is what makes them so pretty.
So beautiful Becca. My first thought today, upon seeing this post was how beautiful this would be for a “save the date” card as well! STUNNING! I am SO excited about this release. I have been commissioned to make wedding invites before and would like to get into making them for more couples. My daughter (who is a jewellery designer and has also minored in drawing at University) wants to design my stamps. Would I have your permission to use some of your dies for this purpose? They are just stunning!
Fabulous dies. Can’t wait to get them. The shoes are unique and cleverly designed. So Becca!
Liking the swallow tail tags. Amazing dies.
Oh My! What fun!
Beauty personified. Thank you for making these easy enough to assemble without great difficulty. I want everything.
Hello Becca – I am in awe at your new collection! I don’t know how I missed your youTube video from CHA but I’m glad I got to see it here. So many lovely dies to look forward to, knowing the beautiful pieces of art you will sharing will be spectacular! I cannot wai!
How pretty! Wish one of our two daughters had wedding plans! :) Oh well, one may be close, but will be happy when the day comes.
The shoes are cute but not my thing. But I love the tags!!
Adorable shoe dies! These would be perfect for cards, scrapbooking or whatever one can think of!
The shoes are cute, Becca. I can also see them as accessories to an evening gown on a card.
What genius dies! I sometimes make small shoes for cards, cutting them by hand, but these will take all the guesswork out of that process. Fabulous, Becca!
Hugs

Good morning lovely Becca,
OOOOOOoo how pretty is your new set of dies going to be and i for one can’t wait. My mum had a pair of brocade wee slipper shoes like what you made when she was young “courting” my daddy and oh were they beautiful. I have her dancing shoes which are a beautiful brocade that have been sprayed gold or silver depending on the occasion and that she wore on her wedding day and i on mine, that was my something old. THank you flower for bringing back some lovely memories for me, take care
love and crafty hugs

Hello Becca,
What useful dies these will be.
Maureen xxx
very cool, excellent embellishing of them too!
Thanks for the close up, Becca. Can’t wait for the tutorials. My step-father loves wing tips. Will definitely need the shoe dies. Who are I kidding?? I want them all. Sooo, the Decorative Swallow tail dies are some of the tantalizing swirls I was seeing in your video. So Beccalicious!!!
Oh Becca these are exquisite – love them all, and the practicality of being having dies the are mirror images is wonderful.
I tend to be a more practical giver, but can do the pretty for no other reason than it is pretty!
Blessings
Maxine
Love the new Decorative Swallowtail Tag dies. The swirl just sets them apart from the ordinary to magnificent. Can’t wait to order them.
MUST add all of these to my die collection!! I especially love the ladies shoe and the Decorative Swallowtail Tags die! TFS!
Wonderful and unique dies!
I am looking forward to get my hand on these :))
Just beautiful! Love the new pocket die set! Thanks for sharing!
You continue to amaze me with your wonderful designs. I can’t wait for March so I can buy you new die cut sets. You brighten my day. Thanks for all your hard work.
This purse is gorgeous. I may have to buy this set,
Blessings,
Kathleen
I also like to make gifts and keep them for house guest. In Hawaii friends of friends, cousins and people you knew my parents always drop by so to show the ALOHA spirit I always have something for them to take back that shows the ALOHA Spirit and OHANA feeling. Your dies have made this so easy and fun. We are truly bless to know you and your talent. Mahalo and Aloha
