Hey Simple Stories crafters! It’s Cheryl on the blog today showing you these fun tag shaped cards using Crafty Things!
I have been enjoying creating shaped cards and matching them with a collection, so for Crafty Things I decided to make tag shaped cards with inserts for plenty of space for your messages to your friends and loved ones! Kelly Bangs created a perfect collection for us paper lovers and crafting with it is so inspiring.
I chose patterned paper for my card base and cut it down to 6x8 Inches and folded it in half on the long side. I cut the top two corners to create a tag shape. A smaller white tag (3.5x5.5 Inches) on the front of the card creates lots of space for embellishments. Gold metallic machine stitching also adds a nice detail to the plain white card!
I have used a variety of embellishments and have always included the gorgeous gold foiled floral clusters on each tag card. Wouldn’t this set of cards make such a cute gift to someone?!
For the final touch I have added a small bow using black/white baker’s twine.
I wanted to add an interactive element, so instead of glueing a white insert into the card I thought it would be fun to make it removable! To do this I used more patterned paper (3x4.75 8 Inches and score 3 sides at 0.5 Inches) to create a little pocket. This also gives you extra space for even more embellishments and perhaps other extras like gift cards or photos! I have backed the white tag inserts onto coloured Color Vibe card for a pop of colour!
If you’re still looking for a crafty themed paper collection then Crafty Things is for YOU! It features all the supplies we have in our craft rooms, lots of bright and fun colours and the most beautiful floral clusters. Oh, did you know that some elements have gold foiling too?!
