Fab Scraps C88 Floral Dreams Collection making a Tag

At Fab Scraps I am sharing the fun tag creatied using C88 Floral Dreams Collection. Tags are awesome on so many projects.

FOR THIS TAG YOU WILL NEED:

Paper: C88 Floral Dreams Collection  002 Melody, 003 Sprinkles, 001 Flutter Shine, C87 Journey in Time 008 Travelogue

Other: cardstock, SRM stickers, ribbons, sequins

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1: Cut your cardstock base... standard size is about 3"x 6". I decided to to a double base for colour. I then decided to fussy cut some shapes and designs out of the collection.

STEP 2: Without gluing down anything layout  your proposed tag and this allows you to make alterations if you decide to remove or add more accents. It is also great to add off the edge items to give dimension to a tag.

STEP 3: In this photo you can see I added an additional dark print tag off to left side, added inked edges to the shapes and glued down a few sequin accents. I also added some SRM sticker scalloped stitches.

STEP 4: Last thing to add is the fun mix of ribbons, trims to the punched out tag. It's great to add colours that accent the colours of the papers.

Tags can be used to add to gifts, boxes, or even treat bags on the table for parties. So many options.. you can also vary the sizes to accommodate what you want them for. Christmas tags are awesome too.. just remember to have fun.. anything goes when creating.

Thanks for joining me today.  I had fun creating this tag to share with you.
