C4C301 Use a Tag

It's Saturday and that means a new challenge at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog.  Frances is our August hostess, and here is her challenge: "Tag You're It!  This week let's use a Tag on whatever you create. It can be an individual tag or you can add the tag to your card/project you create".

It was only  natural to use Karen Burniston's Tag Pivot for my card, which is available at independent retailers or Elizabeth Craft Designs.

I used this fun hot-air balloon patterned paper, which is orange patterned on the other side. To add the pattern to the front and back as well, I cut two 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" panels and attached them over the card base before cutting the Tag Pivot. This gave the card extra stability.

As a place to add a signature, I cut one of the Accessory dies that come with the Tag Pivot, but I stopped the cutting pad short of the end of the small tag. Then I just trimmed it the length I wanted it, and tucked it under the seam binding.

I had fun using the Lawn Fawn Hot Air balloon die set again, which also had the cloud die.

Finally, here is the back view ...
