Something A Little Different!

Good Morning!

Now we all know that when we make a tag we have specially cut blanks made out of various types of different card stock. But today I wanted to share one that used something completely different for the base, Acetate! This is my first time using this product as Tag base and if I'm honest I think it looks really effective, I shall definitely be trying this again! 

As mentioned in my post on Monday I find using Glossy Accents for sticking the layers and embellishments onto the base as I find it holds them securely much better.

To create the tag simply trim a piece of Acetate to a size that you are happy with. I didn't follow any measurements myself I just went with what looked good to me. 

For the next step cut a hole in the top of the tag using a Crop - A - Dile and secure an Eyelet through it. 

I have used an LOTV Die Cut which I have trimmed down to size, mounted onto card and placed onto the tag using the Glossy Accents. I have also placed a Paper Doily and some Cheesecloth underneath the image. I then embellished the tag with my usual assortment of Flowers, Dew Drops, Floral Charm, Glitter and Ribbon. Not forgetting some Word Stickers down the left side and some Buttons on the image!

April Blooming Flowers!

Good Morning!
I hope you are all enjoying your Easter Bank Holiday! Today I have a card to share with you that is made from using Acetate. Acetate isn't something that you would normally use for your card blank but I think it looks really clean and effective.

To create your card blank cut a strip of acetate and then fold in half using a bone folder. I have decided to use a patterned acetate but the normal clear acetate looks just as good.

To decorate the acetate I attached everything to the base using Glossy Accents as I found that it would hold everything much better than other adhesives. To make it possible to write inside the card I repeated cutting some cardstock like I did for my main image and stuck it inside directly beneath where the image on the top lays.
