Mix Match Mix Match

 

Today is all about mixing & matching!

 

I usually like to color coordinate everything, but it's the weekend! It's time to let go of the norm and have some fun with different patterns, colors, and designs.

 

My tag is actually made from acrylic. Be sure to get yours from the Clear Scraps store. I had some extra square pieces left from their 6" x 6" acrylic album and decided to make a tag.

 

And by the way, I'm entering this into the The Mixy-Matchy Style Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.   

 

 

My tag was so fun to put together. Before I get into the details, I wanted to share something....

 

 

 Once the acrylic tag was cut, I added patterned paper on top to cover the front.

 

I have soooo many 6 x 6 paper pads lying around. I used those to make and layer paper strips across the front. The key is to use paper with different patterns and designs on them.

 

I didn't want to overwhelm the design so I used a solid color heart and sentiment in the center of the tag.

 

Being a little mixy-matchy wasn't so bad. I had a lot of fun with this one.

 

Happy Weekend!

 

Supplies:

6 x 6 Acrylic - Clear Scraps

Paper - various from American Crafts

Heart - Heidi Grace Designs

"Loved" Sentiment - American Crafts

Birthday Gifting with the Craft's Meow

I've got a happy gifting idea for ya today. 

Gift cards are so quick and convenient for gifting. Before you hand them out, be sure to "dress them up" in a pretty package like I've done today.

I used the The Craft's Meow's Chalkboard Birthday stamp.

I stamped, then embossed the birthday sentiment to make the color pop!

Any type of gift card will fit perfectly on the inside of your holder.

This stamp is FREE with a $50 purchase in the TCM Store.
