Bo Bunny tags

Inpsired by yesterday's bit of scrapping, I looked at the pile of scraps on my desk and decided to make some tags with the left overs.  In fact, I went further and made a couple of tag cards.

I dug out a Sizzix original die, which is a jumbo tag die, and punched two tags and two tag cards out of a beautiful blue cardstock I had cut into three 12x4 strips.  To make a tag card, you have to fold the cardstock in half and line it up on the die so that there is still a fold when you remove it - this means flattening off the top of the tag, but it's a small price to pay.

The tags were very quick and easy - paper offcuts, a touch of bling, stickers and ribbon and hey presto.  The narrow ribbons I used were a freebie from a company called A Trip Down Memory Lane - they always pop in a few lengths of ribbon to coordinate with bits in your order.  Another company who do that are Craft Obesessions - but with them it's a couple of lengths of Basic Grey fibres.  I don't really use fibres, but when they come I always wish I did!

Well, here are three tags/tag cards, which took all of about 20 minutes between them.  I think I will put them in a drawer and get them out in November when I will need a bit of sunshine!
