Beach Day - Tag Hop on Instagram!

I have joined a bunch of Instagram hops and it has really helped to increase my followers on there and seems to have helped my algorithm. Today's hop is a monthly tag hop and you can find out the details and join in by visiting @craftyengineer on Instagram.  You can follow me here if you're interested!

Our hop theme was to try a new technique called Homemade Diffusers - but I joined the hop late and I didn't have time to learn a new technique, so I went with the 2nd technique which was "stacked die cuts". I'm a die cut addict lately so I had no problem coming up with ideas for that part of it!



Here's my tag:



My tag is a die cut from the Tag Trios at Gina K Designs. I used a stamp from CC Designs Sugar Plum Summer set (on clearance now!), colored with Copics and fussy cut, then attached with foam tape. I die cut the banners and seashells 4 times and layered them on top of each other, then attached with adhesive. I die cut the letters and added those to the banner, outlining the DAY with some matching Stickles glitter glue. I'm looking forward to this hop every month and to seeing my tag ring grow - tags are so much fun to make, I find myself making them more and more often!

I'd like to enter my tag into the following challenges:

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Summer Sunshine

We Love Stamping - Summertime

Paper Funday #89 - Summer Splash

Let's Craft & Create #233 - AG/Fun in the Sun
