Tag Card

Over On Crafters Companion forum every Wednesday evening we have a live craft.

One of the girls gives use step by step instructions and photos of each step as we go along,until we have a finished card.

At the start we have a list of the ingredients we will need for the project, but we dont know what it will be until we start to make it and it starts taking shape.

Its great fun and we post chat as we craft.

This was the card that Ellen gave us the steps to make last night.

I was late arriving so joined in with the chat and got started on my card this morning, so a bit of a cheat as i already new what the finished card would look like.

If you would like to follow the steps to make this card you can see them HERE

just get the ingredients ready and scroll down to find each step, as you see we chat a lot its a wonder we get the card done

 I also made a matching envelope to go with my card.

The papers and topper are again printed  from My Craft Studio CDs. 

and they are the same set as I used on the A4 card in my last post.

Just look how different the same designs can look after a bit of a play at resizing in the MCS program 

Here is a close up view of the insert and the tags that sit in the front of the card

Thank you card

The staff at the school my Sister-in-law works in did a collection for her 60th Birthday

They gave her a beautiful watch and quite a bit of cash so that she could treat herself to something.

She asked me to make a thank you card for them all 

I d id not have much time as I only had under an hour notice before it needed to be done, so she could take it into work with her.

So I used My Crafts Studio and their Petals art work and came up with this card.

Its A 4 in size I matted the backing paper onto Gold mirri card than did the same for the topper.

while it was all still in MCS I added the wording Thank you to the topper before printing out, 

Then I printed a matching insert.

the light is not very good here today and I could not get a good photo of the centre of the card.

I pleased with the way it turned out not bad for a card in a hurry

Come join in the fun
