- Cover both sides
with ephemera paper and set aside.
- Stamp white Tag
Book Die with floral images in Desert Sand, Indian Corn Blue, & Pansy Purple
ink pads.
- Cut out two tags,
in the same size as the Tag Book Die from ephemera paper.
- Tear each one into
thirds. Adhere one center 1/3 onto the center of the first tag on the Tag
Book Die. Alternate pieces throughout the rest of the four tags. Set Aside.
- Stamp all seven
ladies from the ATC Ladies set once each in various colors on glossy
cardstock. Cut several out to shape and leave two ladies in a square shape.
Mount the two left in square shape on coordinating cardstock. Set aside.
- Working on tag #1
- Adhere a piece of navy ribbon in the center of the piece of ephemera paper.
Adhere one of the stamped ladies in a square shape over the paper/ribbon
background. This should be fairly centered on tag. Stamp words of your
choice on caramel cardstock, cut out and mount around lady.
- Working on tag #2
- Stamp three small words on white cardstock strip. Tear on one side and trim
to fit the tag vertically. Pick two ladies that were cut to shape and adhere
one toward top and one toward bottom of tag. Arrange button stickers around
the ladies. You can stamp additional words in the background if desired.
- Moving on to tag
#3 – Adhere the second lady cut into a square shape toward the top of the tag.
Stamp a word vertically to her left. Hand cut 3 tiny tags from caramel
cardstock. Stamp one word on each tag, vertically. Put one small brad in
each tag. Adhere tags horizontally to the bottom of tag. Cut one small flower
from Not Quite Navy cardstock. Adhere near the bottom of the lady image.
