Friends Forever…

Posted by Jen | Purple Turtle/inque boutique, projects | Monday, June 30, 2008

From time to time, I like to make large tags rather than cards. I think that they are a fun addition to a gift package, or you can use them as a flat card and write on the back. Since the 20% off {and super cheap shipping} sale at The Purple Turtle is through today, I wanted to show off some more of the inque boutique stamps I’ve been using lately. This tag uses three sets: Jazzy Punctuation (cool, huh?!?), Retro Shapes and the sentiment is part of the Friends Word Search set. I am really big on stamps sets from companies being compatible with their other stamp sets, as well as jiving with anything else I own and these sets cover those bases easy peasy. Other cool stuff to check out on the PT site… Out Of This World Paper {this is on the top of my “gotta get time to use this SOON” pile} and the Spunky Alpha chipboard {I seriously {heart} this font!!}. Don’t forget to use the coupon code awesome at checkout to get your goods for a steal!
What do you think of this color combo? I’m digging it! I totally would not have thought of it, but my markers arranged themselves so that these colors were together and just screaming at me to use them together! As for my finishing touches, I used some ruby red emBELLAshments, Swarovski crystals and ribbon from May Arts {the fun guava and red one}.

    This is awesome! The color combo rocks! Love all the little details…the ribbon, crystals, the emBELLAshments and especially the partial scallop circle at the top of the tag!!

    This is so fun and awesome! I love things that jump off the webpage, and this is definitely one of them. Nice job!

    What a great idea! I’ve never made a large tag like this before, but I bet it looks awesome on the outside of a gift bag.
