Pretty Tag Cards

First off I have to say a big happy birthday to my little Meghan. She is turning 8 years old today and becoming such a big girl! I can't believe that it's already 8 years - the time goes by so quickly!

Today I have some cute and quick little what I like to call, Tag Cards. Instead of the traditional one layer tag, these were made to open up like a card but in the smaller gift tag size.

These cards were created for shower gifts - wedding colors pink and brown.

The gift cards are made by using my Wizard and nestibilities. I place a folded over piece of cardstock over my scallop circle nestie, leaving a bit of the die not cutting into the cardstock. Send it through the machine and when done, I have a bit of cardstock that did not cute and therefore I end up with a card, albeit a mini one. The tag was stamped with the bride from Stamping Bella  in Tuxedo Black ink and colored with copic markers (E00, E33, G09), a red spica pen and a prismacolor cool grey 10% marker for the outlining.

This tag card was made the same way although this image is from Stampin' Up (still stamped with Tuxedo Black). The flowers were colored with a pink sakura gelly roll glitter pen and the bodice and parts of the dress between the flowers was "colored" with clear stickles.

Add a bit of cording and/or ribbon and now you have a nice gift tag that can still be personalized on the inside and treated as a card.

Rain, rain and more rain has kept up inside today although I did manage a trip to Michael's and the library. (needed to get us all out for a little while). Tonight it's out to dinner to celebrate little Miss Meg. The kids are allowed to choose the restaurant for their birthday dinner and Meg chose one of the local Thai restuarants. Wooohoooo - we'll be eating well tonight! Have a great one!

These look awesome! I love the placement of the bling on the Bella one especially. Now I want to try and make some of these little card/tags.

And I hope your daughter's birthday was wonderful. The years really do fly, don't they!

Yep Michelle, just think of these are mini cards, just hanging like a tag.
We have got Meg and Conor going to places other than the traditional restuarant. Usually, they choose between Thai and Indian although lately they've been clamoring for Japanese food too.

Oh aren't these cute! And what, they just open up to write in? That's a great idea - - can't say I've seen anyone make these. Need to try that sometime.
Enjoy your little girl's birthday - 8 years old and likes Thai? Well-cultured little lady she is!
