A Little Note with Pop-Tones

Hi all, Agnes here sharing my first project for this month using happy colors from the Pop- Tones cardstock sample pack.

I was taking a trip on Pinterest, dreaming about every project I will never make, lol, when I saw a darling card using a thin die I have in my stash and, like many of my pinned projects, I had never used yet. Can you relate?

Anyway, that is where I found my inspiration for today’s cards: Pinterest.

I found my die (dies) buried among other untouched ones and started

cutting the mini envelopes, then the tags, then the flowers and greenery. I also cut

I cut 9 white tags using the Classic Crest Recycle cardstock and the Cuttlebug (manual die cutter). I stacked them in a group of threes, glued them atop of each other (pic#1) and used them to pop-up the pretty and colorful tags. I have to mention I also used the same cardstock for the cards base.

On pic #2 you see the tag die, secured with a piece of washi tape, covered half way with a Cuttlebug plate. This is how I cut just half of a die onto cardstock, I have to remind myself to make sure the side I want to cut is the one under the plate.

Pic #3, shows how I will be adhering my tags onto that shape and,

Pic #4 shows the embossing and a better view of the half cut tag.

All layers were adhered using the Tombow liquid glue.

The name of these colors remind me of frozen pops: the yellow is called Lemon Drop, the orange one is Orange Fizz and the hot pink is called Razzleberry.The flowers and greenery were also made with the same Pop-Tones 65# cardstock. Oh, the green cardstock is called Gumdrop, yummy.

I love bright colors but in this sample pack, you will also find some neutral pastel colors too.

For the sentiment “a little note”, I used a clear stamp.

A thin twine wrapped around three times on each embossed layer finishes the simple touches on these so very pretty cards.
