Caardvarks' Creative Cuts & More Blog Hop!!! ~ StampznewBright

This tag card is for the Caardvarks' Creative Cuts & More Blog hop. (Unfortunately, I messed up the days.) :o( I'm just sick about that, but you're still in time to catch all the stunning cards for today--Sunday day one--of the hop.

Here's the collage & beading detail of the card front:

This is the Creative Cuts & More
Tag Card with Tag (Side Opening--in coconut swirl)
but it comes in loads of lovely colours.

The Tag Die Cut Card:

I really like the combo of this tag shaped card & a tag that's sized a little smaller in the exact same shape. I've used the smaller tag it as a separate gift tag tied tag inside the card (so the recipient can keep the card & re-gift the matching tag.) But I'm sure you could think of a ton of ways to use it. Here are a couple of ideas:

-->Stamp your image onto the smaller tag & mount it to the tag card.
-->Use the smaller tag as a perfectly-proportioned mask for sponging/airbrushing..., then cover over the resulting ink mess with patterned or stamped paper.
--> Use the smaller tag as a guide for paper piecing or sewing a frame on your cards.
-->Make a speedy swing card by attaching the smaller tag onto the front of the tag card with a brad (that way you could hide the message under the swing card or a fun image.)
