Greetings!
Do you ever have those times where you start a project and never finish it because you just can't figure out what the right way is to move on with it? That's how this card started it's life. Last month Stampin' Up! put on a special virtual event for us demonstrators where we had the opportunity to make various cards and a bag "together" during a live demonstration. I loved the cards, but my bag turned out all wrong! The tag that went with the bag has been laying around in my stamp room since then and today I finally came up with a card to feature the tag with. Let me just say I was making it way too complicated before, and this is a simple card where the tag is definitely center stage!

Ink open leaf cluster stamp with Fresh Freesia and stamp onto Fresh Freesia cardstock. Die cut using Stylish Shapes 2-1/2" circle die (die will cut off part of the stamped image). Die cut Calypso Coral cardstock with large open leaf cluster die. Adhere to Fresh Freesia circle, aligning same direction as stamped Fresh Freesia image. Die cut will extend beyond circle at top and bottom.
Ink "sending Hugs" with Calypso Coral, stamp onto Basic White cardstock. Die cut using half circle die. Adhere to die cut circle with die cut leaf cluster using Stampin' Dimensionals. See picture below.
Place assembled tag on Stampin' Pierce Mat and poke a hole through all layers with the Take Your Pick paper piercer tip 1/2" from edge of circle. Feed one end of White Baker's Twine through hole, wrap around edge of circles, thread Open Ended Trinket onto one end of Baker's Twine and tie twine into a bow. See picture above for placement.
