Trendy Tags: Need A Quick Card For A Friend?

Need a quick card for a friend? How about trying one of the latest trends: Tags! I found a couple of tools and stamp sets that make it easy to create a quick all occasion card with a trendy tag!

This card reminds me of the 70’s. (Although…I was very young and don’t remember much about the 70’s!) This has denim, “rivets”, the spiral spins and it’s peachy keen! I probably should have used some crazy bright colors too!

Adding a tag to a card front is one of the current trends in card making. Stampin’ Up! has two new punches that will make this an easy trend to create with! They have two tag punches! Check it out:

The scallop tag punch!

The other is the Angled Tag Topper:

These are on my “LOVE” list of stamping tools! I find punches so convenient to use. I also manage to find different ways to use my punches so that I feel like I’m really getting my money’s worth out of them. Additionally, once you purchase a punch, you have it to use over and over again. I get a lot of use out of my punches!

Here are the other details for the card:
