Sending positive thoughts with flowers
Here’s a simple way to tone down some very busy designer paper. I added two blocks of sold cardstock in complementary colors. The sunflower is a die cut which is then cut in half and layered over the Just Jade cardstock.
No naked envelopes!
The second piece of solid cardstock has the sentiment. By placing both the die and the sentiment in the middle it breaks up the busy daisy pattern paper.
Love some epoxy drops!
I always try to pull something from the front of the card to the inside of the card. Here I used the same stamp set to add a colorful image with a sentiment over the top. The contrast between the busy front and the quieter inside is fun for the eyes.

A tropical hello!
One of my favorite colors from Stampin’ Up was Pretty Peacock. It was an In-Color which lasted only two years (and has since retired) but I used as much as I would with this card. I tried to fill this card with texture even though there’s not a lot of dimension. I created the texture with the designer paper and embossing the colored cardstock. The stitching in the nested label dies also adds a bit of texture.

A crafty hello!
Using a cute tag...and a corner punch.
This card project involves using some cute inspirational tags I received with an online order and using an old punch - a corner rounder to bring a simple card to life. These cards are clean and simple. The first card has the tag popped up for dimension with a few gold glitter enamel dots.
The close up shows off the embellishments and the dimension of the tag. I love the soft greens with the gold.
This card keeps most of the same color scheme but shifts to silver with the rhinestones (with a pop of Cinnamon Cider paper). I added a bit of dimension by adding the embossing to the Mint Macaron paper. I also decided to minic the shape of the tag in the card base by using my Corner Chomper to round off each corner.
The close up gives you a good look at the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. It’s very subtle but still impactful. Next time you get a cute inspiration tag on a gift or in packaging consider using up cycling it in a card and share with someone.
I hope you enjoyed these simple cards using some cute tags!
Supplies used:
Paper: Very Vanilla, Mint Macaron, Just Jade, So Saffron, and Cinnamon Cider (SU)
Embellishments: Basic Rhinestones & Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (SU)
Embossing Folder: Tasteful Textiles (SU)
Tools: Corner Chomper (WRMK)
Misc: tags from Erin Condren (EC)
