The lace paper mats were of course VERY popular so I decided to be different and incorporate the die-cut tags in my cards.
My first card was pretty straight forward. I used washi tape for the background; stamped the sentiment onto one of the die-cuts and added a bit of faux stitching around the edge.
There was a really LONG die cut tag included on the sheet which I thought would make a fun drop focal point. I snipped off one of the pointy ends, cut a grey mat which I stamped & mounted on the extra long tag. It was then adhered over a stamped pink background panel. A second tag was used to stamp the sentiment which is being "hugged" by a die-cut flourish.
Finally there were these cool die-cuts that had perforations in the center - fold them over and wow, looked like a great way to hold a card closed! I stamped on the fronts of each of the folded tags, mounted them on each side of my card and strung a ribbon through it.
It opens up to reveal a pretty Paris collage - lift it up and you have a nice place for a note.
Those were my 3 cards I created for the challenge but I have an extra for you. These darling tiny little black tags were included in the kit as well. I figured since I was on a tag kick I might as well keep going right? So I inked up the large Paris Flea Market collage stamp with white ink, placed each tag on a different area to create this fun and cool design.
Trying for a somewhat clean and simple design I kept it pretty simple, just dangled each tag on the card with a bit of twine (which I just happened to have the perfect matching colors!!) and added a little stamped sentiment from the Celebrate kit (January).
That's all I have for you
except....
Tag - You're it!
