Clear tag pockets with tags!!

Hi all! I hope you are having a great week so far. This idea is from Amy, A Scrap Happy Southern Bell blogspot. Here is the link if you want to check it out right Here. Amy is a very talented Designer. She used her laminating machine to make a clear sheet and created a easel card. I used her idea to make some clear Tag pockets and yes it does work! I love this idea! I don't have to buy clear acrylic sheets now. I can use the Your Story laminating machine to make a clear sheet. This tag pocket here I embossed it with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. I used the Cricut Expession to cut out pockets and tags.

This tag pocket here I embossed it with Cuttlebug Disressed Stripes folder. I used the Crop -A- dile II to punch holes and set the eyelets. The flowers are Prima Island Pastel flowers. I used a hot glue gun to adhere tag pockets together.

If you want the Cricut DesignStudio cut file, I created . You can get it Here ! This cut file makes (2) Tag pockets on 8 1/2 by 11 inch clear sheet or cardstock, which ever one you use. You will need another 8 1/2 by 11 inch cardstock to make (5) tags. You will need pattern paper if you want to layer tags like I did. I cut more tags and cut in half to layer mine.

Cartridge used:

Tags, Bags, Boxes & More (Scallop top tag creative feature Blackout on page 91, cut a 5 inches and Tag pocket creative feature blackout on page 112 cut at 9 inches.
 
Have a wonderful week all!.

Fish bowl shape card!

This card was designed and welded in Cricut DesignStudio and super easy to put together. I like this card, because it didn't take me hours to make. Some handmade card can take hours to finish. My daughter loves this fish bowl shape card. She loves everything I make with the Cricut Expression.


I made (2) cards on a 12 x 12 inch cardstock and the card size is 4 5/8 height 5 1/8 inches wide. I stamped hello at top of card with Inkadinkado clear stamps. I love these clear stamps. I added a google eye and some light blue puffy paint on tail of fish. The puffy paint takes some time to dry.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day all!
