2009-04-09 Flower Pot Tag Card

This past week Monday’s Challenge to try a new Technique at SplitCoastStampers was to make a Flower Pot Tag Card.

It was really quite easy, just two folds and a piece of ribbon make the pocket. The sides are trimmed on an angle to give it a flower pot shape. It is not glued to make the pocket, which is a smart idea as it would be too hard to pull the tag in and out of the pocket if it were. Instead the ribbon holds everything together.

I ended up making two of these little pot cards. On the first one I added the dew drops that I made yesterday. The other I left a plain scallop edge. I’m not sure which one looks better. In the picture below is the sample with the dew drops (for the plain one scroll down to the next photo). Just a note: the gold clip is part of the stand I have the card attached to so it will stand for the photograph.

And just a shot showing the tag pulled out of the card. The only stamping are the words. They are by My Sentiments Exactly. In case you can’t see all of the words; it reads: Rubber Stamps & Friends…there’s always room for more!
