Thank You tag

Hi everyone!  Today I have a quick Thank You tag to share.

I used the Artiste cartridge to make the base of the tag.  I used accent 4 under the 6 key at 3".  I cut it out 3 times, once in the front paper, once from a cereal box for stability and once from the back paper and I glued them all together.  The paper is from a Prima 6 x 6  pad called Nature Garden and I inked around the edges with Tim Holtz Stormy Sky distress ink.

For the sentiment, I used the stamp set Casual Expressions that coordinates with the Artiste cartridge.  The cut for the sentiment is from the B key using accent 3 feature at 1 1/2".  Then from the Home Decor cartridge I used border 1 - this is found on button 2 under the basic feature at 1 1/2" an welded it to the cut for the sentiment from the artiste cartridge.  I stamped the sentiment with slate ink. I added some Prima flowers and some buttons to complete the front.

For the back, I found this confetti-like parchment paper in my scraps to use and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink.  

I used my crop-a-dile to punch a hole in the top and added some ribbon to finish it off.

Have a  wonderful day!!!

Christmas Ornament Tag - Christmas in July # 5

Welcome to project # 5 in my Christmas in July week!

If you're anything like me, you go through a lot of tags at Christmas.  So I decided it was time to get started on them!

I used Art Philosophy for the tag base.  This one is found on page 50 under the card feature and is cut at 3 1/2" with white daisy cardstock.  I used a swirl stamp from an Inkadinkado set called Snowflakes with indian corn blue ink. I added stardust glitz to the dots on the swirl.  The ornament is cut from the Artiste cartridge.  It is located on page 53 under accent 3.  I cut the base layer out of indian corn blue cardstock and the decorative layer out of white daisy using the shift key.  They were sized at 2.153" and I cut 3 of them for each tag.  I put the layers together and scored each down the center an adhered them together to form a dimensional ornament.

The sentiment inside is from the Ornament Cheer Holiday stamp set in indian corn blue ink.

The final touch was to add a silver bow and some blue and white baker's twine.

Hope you all enjoyed today's Christmas in July project!  Only 2 more to go!  : )  Have a great day everyone!
