Our second card had all sorts of options. I chose landscape images from my stash of digital images and created decorative elements 1.25" x 3.75". After printing them on white cardstock I cut them apart and married them up with a tag, a circle punchie (1"), a brad and some coordinating fiber. The tag I created by cutting rectangles and cutting the round end from one of my label dies. I lined up the end of my rectangle to just cut of the bits on both sides of the rounded section. I placed my cutting pad so no more would be cut off and ran the sandwich to just cover that area. Works well for making custom tags the width I needed. We started by adding our decorative background to our card fronts. Next, we coloured our images and added our circle punchies to be framed by the rounded section of the tag. Next, we added our embellished image to be properly framed on the tag. With that in place we punched a hole for the brad. We inserted the brad into the hole, tied on the fiber and then spread the tangs on the back. This large element was then mounted to our card using 3D foam tape. I just realized that I could have included tall vertical images as well instead of making them all horizontal. Always, something to learn!!!
