The tags are covered with coordinating SU designer paper. I cut my pieces to size and ran them through my Xyron machine. Once they were on I used my sanding blocks on all the edges.
The right side:
The heart is one of the chipboard pieces in the new catty that I covered with regal rose craft ink. I stamped over the heart with French Script inked in chocolate chip ink and used a sponge dauber and cc ink to distress the edges. The button is a clear one that I stamped French Script onto (Timber Brown Stazon ink) and layered onto a flower image. The calendar on the bottom is a tear off kind I ordered from Stamp On This. I used a corner punch to create slits so that the calendar can be removed/replaced down the road.
The left side:
The lilac panel is removeable so the recipient can replace it with a photo if they want. I made a mask, sponged some creamy caramel ink, stamped French Script in close to cocoa and then added the lilac. I added a strip of twill across the bottom. The small frame is another piece of chipboard that I covered in close to cocoa ink. The stamped images inside the small frame are from Noteworthy.
To finish it off I tied some brown ribbon in the holes at the top of the tags.
The biggest pain was finding small enough hinges and screws. I finally found some at Joannes that worked but weren't perfect. I might try drilling holes in the sides and using book rings but I am not sure it will stand up as well as with the hinges.
I hope the recipient will like it.
