My Purse Tag - I thought it was clever
It even opens up!

This one is more of a clutch I guess..


Simple Happy Birthday Tag with a chipboard sticker (I got a deal on a pack of 600)



My butterfly beauty: I had these glittery stickers laying around and finally decided to use them with some metallic paper and a corner punch.




It can't get easier than this: way old stickers and card stock leftovers. We always forget the boys don't we.





Another simple tag with ribbon and more of my chipboard sticker deals.







More of my leftover metallic paper - this time I started with the ribbon and wanted to match it and came up with this design (I made a bunch some with copper brads and one flower).







I started was some luxury paper that had this ethic looking design on it I cut out each design square backed it with similar toned paper added glue dots to the back for dimensions and then attached it to another similar toned paper - I free handed the 'matching' design with a glue pen and covered it with foil from my hot foil machine. I like the twine with it - gives it an earthy feel.







Ho-hum graduation tag - but you know when you need them you'll use it!

Christmas Gift - Seasons Cards & Tags

For an inexpensive "small" gift but given from the heart I made this
Four Season's Book of Cards.
The Book itself was very easy a 12x12 piece of paper trimmed a bit larger than the photo book inserts connected with three brads. I found the photo book inserts by taking apart a cheap photo book from the dollar store. I used 5 inserts one as a title page where I added my note.
In back of the book I sewed leftover paper cut at an angle to hold all the envelopes needed for the cards.

I used two pages for each season Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall with the tag on the left and the card on the right.

Winter


Spring




Summer



Fall
Here's my Purse Tag again - I can't wait to actually use one on a gift they're so versatile! How cute would it be to add baby paper and make it a diaper bag for a baby shower! I'll make one later and post it.

Dollar Store Finds




I bought two packs of paper from the Target Dollar Area. They had some cute 5x7 packs of paper with a Fall Theme; one pack had decorative edges - both packs had patterned and solid paper in them.

At the Dollar Tree I found a Fall Theme embellishment pack with a variety of brads.

Look what I made: 10 cards and 6 tags. I did add the cardstock (for the base of the card), ribbon, ink, a few flowers, and paper scraps. I still have plenty of paper and a few brads left over.

I haven't added words yet - so just imagine some cute sayings like "Give Thanks" on some of them. Hope this helps with your Fall Card Making Ideas!
