Do you LOVE roses? If your answer is yes, then you will LOVE Stampin' Up! Rose Garden.  It is a wonderfully versatile die that I will show you how to use in many different layouts. This post focuses on the die cut out itself and using it in partnership with its negative.

Stampin' Up! Gift Tags

Sale-a-bration is a great time for me to take the time to make some tags of Thank you.  For ladies who attended class and placed orders, I created thank you tags with ribbon, to wrap around their SAB items  - all a little different, each a one off...

A Crafty Cat: Stampin' Up! Remarkable You & Stampin' Up! Cottage Greetings.



Tags are easy to create and look great as a small gesture of appreciation.
To create these tags I simply cut out a 2 inch strip of Stampin' Up! Card stock, 4 inches in length and used Stampin' Up! Tag punches to sculpture the tag end. 
I then stamped the card stock with a coordinating colour and then stamped the greeting to match.
Too easy ;-)
