Tags are one of my favorite projects to create because they’re quick, versatile, and a great way to use up patterned paper and embellishments. Hey there, I'm here with a couple of Valentine themed tags created for my latest project for Clear Scraps.
For these I am using a Chipboard Pentagon Tag, a Chipboard Angle Tag and Chipboard LOVE Punchout Embellishments.
I started by choosing 2 double sided patterned papers.
Tracing the tags onto the papers. Cutting out the tag shapes and adhering to both sides of the tags.
Next, I chose the chipboard embellishments I wanted to use and painted them with acrylic paint to coordinate with the patterned papers.
I did some die cutting to add to the tags.
The chipboard embellishments are added to the die cuts and then adhered to the tags. A decorative strip was constructed and added as well.
To finish each tag, I tied coordinating ribbon and fibers through the tops for extra height, movement, and a polished look. These ribbon toppers add just the right amount of flair and make the tags feel extra special.
These handmade tags would be perfect attached to a gift, tucked into a card, or used as party favors. They’re proof that small projects can still make a big impact—especially when created with love.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope these tags inspire you to create a few of your own!

Nothing says happy birthday like candles, presents, and an adorable hippo popping in to say hello! Hey there, it's Judy V here sharing a step-by-step for my purple hippo birthday card project for Pajama Crafter Stamps.
Start the project by stamping and coloring the hippo and presents from Hippo Ho Ho Stamps.
For the sentiment I'm using one of the All Occasion Flashcards and foiling.
Die cut the sentiment flashcard with a circle die. I die cut a slightly larger circle out of silver glitter card stock. Cut purple card stock with the Circle Peek A Boo Die.
Add the glitter card stock, white panel with embossing and polkadot paper to the card base.
Add the hippo, presents and candles to complete the card design.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope my Purple Hippo Birthday Card inspires you to mix textures, layers, and a little sparkle in your next birthday card!

Colorful geometric cards are simple to make and perfect for using up bold cardstock scraps. With just a few dies, textures, and sentiments, you can create eye-catching cards for almost any occasion. Judy here ready to share how to easy it is to created these cards or something similar.
Cut Cougar White Smooth CardStock 4 1/4 x 11 inches. Lessebo Pitch Black Cardstock is cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch pieces. More Cougar White Smooth CardStock is cut to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches for card front.
Using your geometric dies, cut shapes from assorted CutCardStock colors. I am using circles, squares and hexagons.
Run the die-cut shapes through an embossing folder to add dimension. This extra step really elevates the simple shapes and adds visual interest to the cards.
Arrange the Design
Lay the shapes onto the white card front without adhesive first.
Choose a bold, simple sentiment to complement the geometric design. Die cut out of Lessebo Pitch Black Cardstock.
Keep the sentiment placement clean so it doesn’t compete with the colorful shapes.
These layouts are easy to customize by changing colors, shapes, or sentiments. They’re perfect for birthdays, celebrations, thank-you cards, or everyday greetings—and a great way to showcase the variety of cardstock colors available from CutCardStock.
