Rose Wedding Tag


Create a beautiful tag that's perfect for weddings and anniversaries by adding shimmery Delicata Inks to Susan Tierney-Cockburn's Garden Notes - Rose 2 and stenciling on a tag base. Shown on optional Card Stand/Easel by ECD.

Making the Card

1. Cut a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock to 3 1/2 x 7 inches. Use the main tag die from Tags & More 1 - Lace to die cut top of tag. Trim sides flush with die cut; trim tag to 6 inches in length. Die cut lacy top - be sure to keep the inside pieces to use on the bottom of the tag (see photo). Die cut shown reenforcement piece (for over tag hole). Die cut Love.


2. Die cut Garden Notes - Rose 2 pieces from white cardstock (light weight). Cut extra petals for the large rose (I cut 6 extra).

3. Decorate tag and color die cuts as shown in the video below.


4. Assemble rose as shown in the video below, centering it in the middle of the top stenciled decoration.


6. Adhere Love sentiment and decorative pieces as shown.

Options: if you would like a more subtle background, you could do a tone on tone by using White Shimmer Delicata instead of Silvery Shimmer. For more contrast for the sentiment and decorative pieces, just use Silvery Shimmer and Black Shimmer (i.e. skip the White Shimmer).

Brusho Lilac Tag Card


Made for the ECD Susan Tierney-Cockburn Design Team

I love the effect Brusho crystals have when they are hit with water. I decided to use them to color cardstock for my lilacs. The variation in colors looks so pretty. For the large tag card base, instead of using the decorator die to cut through the top, I used the negative pieces to create a sort of ivy look.

Making the Card

1. Cut light purple cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches; fold in half. Using the main Tags & More 7 die,  line up and die cut just outside of fold and just below top of card, i.e. the cutting blade should be outside (not on the card) on the left but the hole and fancy top part should be just inside the cardstock at the top. Cut right side flush if necessary.

2. Die cut vine decorator piece from green cardstock; before removing die, trace around top edge. Cut along traced line. Line up traced edge with top of card and use as a template for gluing leaves (be careful to get glue only under leaves otherwise the template will not come off cleanly).

3. Die cut large decorator tag (Tags Pivot Card set) from patterned paper. Tie twine through hole and make a bow. Adhere to card where shown.


4. Spray a piece of smooth cream cardstock with water. Sprinkle the following colors of Brusho over surface: Ultra Marine, Purple, Violet. Add more water as necessary. Use a brush to move color over entire surface. Dry with a heat tool or let dry naturally. Note: the backsides will show; if enough color didn't seep through, you may want to color the back as well. Optional: if you do not have Brusho, you could use watercolor.

5. Die cut lilac branch from brown cardstock and 2 sets of leaves from green cardstock. Die cut 5 sets of petals and Hello sentiment from Brusho colored cardstock. Shape lilac and adhere to card, using the following video as a guide.


6. Adhere Hello to tag where shown. Tie trim (or ribbon) through top hole. Embellish with enamel dots as shown.
