Let's Craft and Create Challenge #231: Anything Goes or Tag! You're It (use a tag on your project)...

 

It's the lovely month of May and time for another challenge at Let's Craft and Create. We hope to see all your wonderful projects posted below, but first the Design Team has some inspiration for you. You can check out all their fantastic projects here.

I needed to make some graduation cards, and I was inspired by this month's challenge to try to use some tags in the process.

I first adhered a red plaid patterened DSP to a white A2 card base. Then I die-cut two tags: a large red one and a small white one.

The red tag was adhered directly to the DSP. The white tag was glued down at the top, but popped up at the bottom to add a little dimension.

I die-cut a happy graduate for the white tag and a tiny mortarboard and the word "Congrats!" for the red tag out of black cardstock.

I also die-cut several pieces of confetti from metallic gold cardstock.

Finally, some gold dots were added with a Viva Decor pen and a bow from gold twine.

Two sentiments were stamped on the inside and a strip of red cardstock was added to the bottom

Tags can be used on cards for lots of other occasions. Birthdays might be an obvious choice, but think about using them on cards for new babies, new homes, retirement, thanks, saying hello, anniversaries, etc. You could even use a coordinating tag on a gift if you're giving one with the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
