Friendship
Tag Booklet Card#1 I used a bright green card stock accordion folded with cut, punched and folded openings to hold the tags. The lettering was done with a yellow brush pen and red dots. Words "Live Love Laugh" Details below |
 |
The front and back cover are mat board covered in a variegated yellow pink scrapbook paper. I keep the booklet closed with a 1/4" yellow ribbon. The huge flower unfolds to reveal various stamped words of friendship (hugs, my friend, just for you etc). I used the flower concept from "Paper Crafts" magazine Feb/06 I saw in Michael's and recreated it at home (there's was like a big blue pansy). Mine is done on a yellow portion of the above scrapbook paper and I painted the reverse side with the flower petals in bright yellow and oranges. Below
the flower I wrote in gold gel pen |

The first page is cut on the diagonal and a "Friend" ribbon glued to the edge. The card is sewn on the fold with metallic green embroidery thread and a metal "Love" charm attached. The second page I used a circle hole punch, I edged it with iron on ribbon. I made some gold embossed cardstock and punched a large heart, glued it to the opening and added a "Friend" stamp. The other heart is green and gold from a St Pat's day package of charms. |
| The
third page I also cut on the diagonal, and an edge folded over
with a lace ribbon under the fold. I added magenta colored heart eyelets.
|
The fourth
page is folded down and edged with a flower ribbon. I added a coin
holder to hold a recent image of me. The coin holder was painted bronze and paper
flowers glued on.

| First tag:
Yellow cardstock the front is rubber stamped with "Laughter is
music for the soul", "Hugs" and I added punched out
little hearts. The back is green gel pen and I wrote "laughter is
the best medicine".
Second tag: Purple heart embossed cardstock. I glued on a piece of Arches text wove paper I had previously decorated with watercolours. I used one of my personal rubber stamps I'll be selling on my web site soon "Block by block a friendship's built". The back I used a Quietfire design rubber stamp "Listen to what your heart is saying" and added another of those gold embossed hearts. |
Third tag: 140 HP watercolour paper and Twinkles H2o done in a linear pattern. I used another Quietfire design stamp "Wheresoever you go - go with all your heart" by Confucius. The back I used a gel pen and wrote the words "When feeling down chat with your online friends" and added a few mini hearts. Fourth tag: I used a piece of my paper batik and mounted it on white linen cardstock and then on bright orange cardstock. The back is again a Quietfire stamp "Keep your faith in beautiful things in the sun when it is hidden, in the spring when it is gone" by Roy R Gibson. I just found Quietfire stamps were so apropos for this card. All the tags have very colorful ribbons attached.
