Card Making with the Tag Punch Board

Image
Hello everyone!!! Hope everyone has had a wonderful day thus far. Today we will be creating a very simple layered card but using some fun techniques. So let's get started to create a card with tag punch board . I always have a hard time getting the slopes on my tags to match, so this tool really comes in handy!   To create the tags, I chose gold, salmon and white cardstock in three different widths. Using the Tag Punch Board is as easy as lining the top of the tag and using the blade just like a regular trimmer. Flip the tag over, repeat the trim and you have a perfectly even tag every single time. It even includes a small hole punch tool for the top of the tags. This is so simple and quick that I made about a dozen tags in a few minutes. The background of the card is a very pale yellow ombre pattern.

Crepe-paper flowers capture the essence of flowers without all the botanical details, they add such delicate bloom. Crape flower are really a fun project. The happy part is u can color them by your own favorite color Copic marker . They are far more durable. Why Use Copic Various Ink?

I experimented using acrylic and watercolor paint to add those extra details. Step 1: Cutting Out the Center Cut out a paper of 1.5x2 inch rectangle for the stamens and one for the pollen. Now fringe the stripes as finely as you can. To make your stamen put aside the off-white fringe, which will be your stamens. Working with just the gold strip, cut across the fringe in very small rows, perpendicular to your first set of cuts, to create a tiny gold confetti. That will become the pollen at the ends of the stamens. Step 2: Coloring the Center
