Love using scraps and by golly I have quite a few of them. One of the ladies in my group told me to come up with a Tag design for our upcoming gathering. Everyone is designing a card and putting together kits for each of us and it was suggested that I do a tag since I love tags. Problem is.........the lady who suggested it really doesn't like or use tags. So I decided to be a little creative and combine a card with a tag. Best part I can use all scraps for my demo card. Though I will need to get regular sheets of DSP and Card stock for the packets since I need multiples. Well here's what I did:
First I decided to make it larger than the typical 4.25 x 5.5 card and made the base 5 x 6.5. This is a flat card it does not open. I cut (2) 3.5" circles of card stock and (2) 3" circles of DSP. Some scrap lace, ribbon and a tag die and got to work. Finished result? Here it is:
For the packets I had to change up the papers so that I would have enough for everyone. Just a little bit different look. Honestly I like my scrap one better but I'm sure everyone will like this one too.
I think I'm going to try and turn out more scrappy type of cards. I have sooo many scraps laying around that really need to be used. I need to refill my Christmas card box for 2017 so Scrappy it will be. Ok along with a few with new papers. LOL
Until next time............
HAPPY CARDING!
Fabulous cards, Susan!
