Tag punch cards

Tag Punch cards

This card idea is not new; it has been around for a long time.  I just didn't own any of the tag topper punches but I do now.  You do a search on you-tube or pinterest to find lots of ideas on this card style.

above is a look at the card before it has any stamped images.  It's a fun card where the front is shorter then the back so you close it by tying the two tags together.

stamps used:  Stampin' Up

For this card you can position the tag closure just about any where on the card, as you can see with these two cards.

Basic instructions:

base card:  8 1/2" x 5 1/2"  folded in half to create A2 note card.

inside:  color cardstock 5 1/4" x 4"

white cardstock 5" x 3 3/4"

outside panel - 2 1/2" x 5 1/4"

pattern paper - 2 1/4" x 5"

Line up base card at 2 3/4" on 5 1/2" side ..... make a pencil mark on top and bottom.

Slide the base card into tag topper punch ..... lining up pencil mark at the center of the tag topper itself and punch.

Flip card and repeat the process.

Cut off excess cardstock from the sides of the punched out tag.

On one side score the tag and fold.

Line the edge of the card up at 4 1/4" then score and fold.  This creates your base card.

Once this is done all that is left is stamp and decorate as you desire.
