Happy Wednesday!! It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps. This week is: Anything BUT a card.
And here the tag I created:
I wasn't feeling very motivated to create something 3-D, so I decided to make a tag. (Shhhh . . . don't tell anyone, but I will probably end up putting it on a card for a man at our church that just celebrated his 40th birthday) This was made entirely with scraps--not a single full-sheet of cardstock or patterned paper was harmed in the making of this tag! I started by tracing the tag die onto a piece of cheap cardstock (the kind that is NOT good for making cards) and adhering strips of patterned paper scraps (most were cut at 1/2 inch width). Then I die cut the tag, set the eyelet and tied on some ribbon that was left over from a project earlier this spring. The star also had been die cut for that project and has just been sitting on my desk for month. I die cut a second one and adhered them together for a little dimension. Die cut the "40" out of brown glitter paper and adhered it to the star. I stamped on scrap cardstock, colored, and fussy cut out the cupcake and used foam tape to adhere it to the tag. I finished it off by heat embossing "birthday" on some dark brown cardstock and fussy cut it before adhering it to the tag with foam tape as well.

What a great tag - and it will look great as focal image on a mans birthday card. So many elements going on here and all from scraps. You make the most of your papers.
