Framed Tags… ~ by Caroline Scattergood

I have a few special people to send a little gift and card to – wishing them Merry Christmas and also saying a big thank you.  Without these people I wouldn’t be in such a happy crafting place as I am now.  Not saying anymore as I don’t want to spoil the surprise!

I wanted to do something special for the gift tag and decided on a glittery framed heart.  Easy to do when you have the fab-u-lous ShapeCutter and Heart Template!!

I used the ShapeCutter and Heart Template to create the tag.  Cut out a heart in mountboard (score around several times and it pops out), and the same size heart in the background paper you want, cover the mountboard with the paper heart.

Cut out another heart in glittery paper, the same size as your mountboard heart.  Cut out another heart on the inside of this one, in a slightly smaller size, and you have your frame and a very handy glittery heart to use another time!

For this particular tag I used the Stamp Press and a Christmas sentiment stamp, I stamped onto the background paper and sprayed with Marshmallow Glimmer Mist.

I then added the glitter frame, with foam squares to add depth, and added the flower and jewel brad.  I tied ribbon around the brad to add to the gift.

Thats one down and a few more to go!!
