Tag, You’re It: A Card for Charlie

I’ve seen the Tag, You’re It Challenge pop up occasionally, and recently I added it to my Feedly. This week’s challenge was just perfect for a baby card I needed to make and get in the mail.

I rearranged the elements a bit in order to get the sentiment where I wanted it, but otherwise, it’s a pretty close match to the inspiration piece.

The little giraffe was in my stash of die cuts, and I’m not sure where it came from. I found the bright orange twine when I reorganized last month. The price tag was still on it. It only cost $1, but I have no idea where I picked it up. The patterned paper is Echo Park’s “Dots and Stripes,” which I’ve had in my stash forever. The sentiment die cut from a scrap of paper in my stash is Papertrey’s “Wet Paint II,” and the little hearts are Simon Says “Holiday Shapes” die. I guess you could say this was a “Stash Tag,” but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

I wanted to put the tag on a card so I’d have room to write a note. I ran the Aqua Mist card through a Lifetime Crafts embossing folder.

And here’s a look at the inside where I used Papertrey’s “Baby Button Bits.”

I used a light blue Copic marker to color in just the bottoms of the open letters. It’s cold and windy here today; a good day for some more crafting.
