On the CASE with A Floral Tag

Nicole and I are back On the CASE. Our mission: To work through current Stampin’ Up! catalogs, and break down gorgeous samples step-by-step, just for you! CASE means to Copy and Share with Everyone, and that is exactly what we will be doing. We hope you enjoy the cards we CASE and the free tutorials included in our posts. Sadly, this is the last CASE from both the 2017 – 2018 Annual Catalog and the Occasions Catalog.  But on the upside, our next CASE will come from the new Annual Catalog.  SO… let’s get stampin’!

On the CASE: Lots of Love
A Floral Tag
Stamp Set:  Annual Catalog Page 87; Sample Page 181

The floral tag created with the Lots of Love stamp set is adorable! I like to surprise my friends with homemade cookies and candies, and gift tags such as this are the perfect touch.  Even though I had to improvise on the sentiment, (the catalog sample uses Brushwork Alphabet, which I do not own), I had fun creating today’s CASE.

“On the CASE” Notes
Your Step-by-Step Guide

1.  Punch the tag using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. Wrap two pieces of Tranquil Tide Washi Tape around the bottom of the tag.

2.  Using the sentiment from the Crafting Forever set, selectively ink the word “friends” with a Tranquil Tide Stampin’ Write marker.

3.  Stamp the flowers as follows:  Large Flower – Pool Party;  Leaves – Tranquil Tide; Leafy Frond – Pear Pizzazz; Small Flower – Powder Pink and Tranquil Tide (selectively ink with Stampin’ Write Markers);  Buds – Tangerine Tango and Tranquil Tide (once again use markers).  Fussy cut with paper snips.  Adhere to the card with dimensionals.

4.  Stamp a second large flower, and snip out the middle section. Adhere to the main focal point with dimensionals.

5.  Add approximately 8 inches of Powder Pink Finely Woven Ribbon through the top of the tag. Tie a Whisper White Baker’s Twine bow around the pink ribbon. Enjoy!

To “step up” the tag,  I added Rhinestones and a single Clear Faceted Gem.  It looks awesome in person.

I can’t wait to bake  up a batch of  goodies and present them to a friend with this tag attached!

How Hard Was It to Crack This CASE

Nothing tricky here! It’s a fun tag to create, and I hope you will give it a try!   Difficulty Level:  2 out of 5, only because it takes time and needs to be fussy cut.  And be sure to add the rhinestones and gem – you won’t regret the sparkle!
