Still playing with our new tags - can't stop at the moment! I made a folding card with a decorated tag for the front and a 'shabby' tag for the back. I added some punching - Martha Stewart, a die cut corner, and a gorgeous Tando chipboard birdcage, and birds - soon to be on sale on the CI website, plus stamping with CI-256, and a flower from CI-293. I mounted the back on some orange card to show off the punched border and added a ribbon to the punched hole.
For the second standing tag 'card' I used a Marianne's die cut bird house and leafy branch, two of our flying birds (with Ranger crackle paint added), a sentiment from CI-256, and a Prima flower. I mounted the tag up on coloured card, and added a ribbon and a strut back to finish.
And a close up of the crackled bird - which I was pretty pleased with (I love a nice bit of crackle!!). . .
Today I also want to share images of a concertina Spring book by Sue at Paper Paradise - just lovely! Have a look at her blog for some instructions. She used our mini canvases to make the front and back - what a good idea!
Ooooo don't you just love lovely crafting!?

The tag cards are simply gorgeous, Jean! Am looking forward to being able to buy the bird & cage chipboards - been hoping for something like those for a long time. I don't want to go to the expense of buying a birdcage die when I would probably only use it a few times, so the chipboard ones will be ideal. Sue's Spring book is wonderful. How clever to use the canvases like that. Lynne x

Love yours and Sue's work! I am really inspired by Sue's idea with the mini canvases. I am enjoying your blog - so nice to see ideas with the products. Some step by steps would be great!
