Tip: You don’t always need to create a full-blown birthday card, a nice tag will go a long way too – especially when added to a gift to carry your birthday wishes.
Here’s an easy little gift tag and the steps to create it. I designed it to go with some birthday flowers for a friend.
I chose a cutapart from Stamperia’s Time is an Illusion collection;
Layered a second cutapart on top;
stamped some butterflies;
added a ribbon on top;
added a Tim Holtz quote chip, after using some Distress Mica Sprays to grunge it up a bit.
So, for the final post of this year 🙂 I’ll leave you all with one last Christmas card tip – which you can of course use the whole year round: combining several paper collections for a paper craft project. This offers fun new challenges, for you’ll have to really think about colors and patterns: which ones coordinate well together, which combinations provide some elegant tensions and what color of cardstock will benefit the whole.
For these four Christmas cards, I mixed three paper collections and added embellishments from another four companies! I’ll list them all below. I also did some die-cutting of my own, which is always a great way to add to your projects.
Materials used:
Season’s Greetings 6×6 paper pad by Panduro
Cutapart sheet from Glistening collection by Authentique
Wood Texture 6×12 paper pad by Joy Crafts
Die-cuts from Winter Memories collection by Studio Light
Large clock brads by Scrapberry’s
Several flowers from collections by Prima Marketing
Wooden Christmas pieces by Craft Sensations
I also used a Crealies Create-A-Card die for the step card.
Have a creative 2017, create what you wish existed 🙂
