Stampin' Up! Tag Cards

I've been having a little play with tags on cards and embellishing these tags with Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper (DSP), embossing folders, ribbons, stamps and dies... First a rose ( Stampin' Up! Rose Garden thinlit dies) in neutral colours of Crumb Cake and Early Expresso...

The card is simply the base card with a 2" strip of coordinating DSP with a dressed tag mounted onto the base card and the greeting placed...somewhere!  This one has a little more colour and a butterfly (Butterflies thinlit dies) die cut out of Calypso Coral Stampin' Up! cardstock.  A bit of sponging on the tag edges and this one is my favourite of all the creations today.

I love versatile layouts and what a great way to use up any 2" strips of  DSP you may have left over from other projects and the little snippets to embellish the tags.  Quick, easy layout and very rewarding.

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 ;-)

Stampin' Up! Bird Builder & Tag Topper Card

I have a dear customer who likes to recreate beautiful projects, she finds on pinterest, and I am lucky enough to share this with her.  Today she wanted to recreate a lovely card which used the bird punch and tag topper punch, both by Stampin' Up!.

This is our version using the colours of Burnt Brown Sugar, Whisper White and Real Red...

On the background card we layered Stampin' Up! DSP and then an embossed tag, created using Stampin' Up! tag topper punch, embossed with Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  Burlap was cut down and frayed and then the layering of the leaf (Mossy Meadow) velum, Bird body, bird wing and the pearl for the eye. The card was finished off The tag was finished off with Burnt Sugar Twine, simply tied in a bow and adhered with a glue dot.  The card needed some excitement in the corner so we chose three real red candy dots.... just purrrfect!

I really enjoy one on ones - it is so rewarding to see a customer recreate a project they have seen and thought they could not accomplish.  Congrats JM, your project is beautiful...

Thank you for stopping by,

Stampin' Up! Bird Builder & Tag Topper Card

Stampin' Up! sell a lovely Bird builder punch which coordinates purrrfectly with their Tag Topper punch.  I have a customer coming over who has seen a card and wishes to case it - this is my interpretation of this beautiful layout using Moonlight DSP, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow and Smokey Slate cardstock, with the bird in Blackberry Bliss.

I used a 2" strip of moonlight DSP and punched the edge with Stampin' Up! Spiral Boarder punch.  The background card and tag is stamped with a flower from "Bloom with Hope" in coordinating ink so that it is subtle and watermarks the cardstock.

I had to make another, this time a little more subdued, and this is what I chose...Pool Party, Lost Lagoon and Smokey Slate.
