Tag Card with Scrapbook.com's Exclusive Dies


Hello crafty friends! Today I have a tag card featuring Scrapbook.com's exclusive dies. Scrapbook.com reached out to me asking if I would like to review the dies and so I received the dies in exchange for my honest opinion about them. I am working with the nested tags and nested stars dies. I decided to create a tag card by cutting two tags and then scoring the top of one and adhering them together. For more information on how I created the project check out the video below.


I really liked that the tag dies came with two options for adding the holes to the top of the tags. I felt like it gave more bang for the buck and adding the holes was super simple because of the design. The size range in the die sets makes them great for a variety of projects including cards, scrapbook pages or home decor. I found the dies cut easily through the thick cardstock that I used. 


Disclosure: As always affiliate links are used when possible and these dies were sent to me for review.

Summer Cards by Jess Crafts from Echo Parks Summer Dreams 6x6 Paper Pad

Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 6x6 Paper Pad tutorial featuring Echo Park Papers and guest designing for Scrapbooking with MEScrapbooking with ME is an online store that operates at a website and on Facebook. As part of my guest design series I have a discount code you can use in the online .com store (JG10). All links at the end of the post. I am obsessed with 6x6 pads because it is so easy to create a bunch of cards without using many extra supplies. I think their designs are adorable and I can easily whip up a bunch of cards for card drives like Cards for Hospitalized Kids. If you want more info on donating card please check out my Card Drive Resources page. So today I'm using the Echo Park Papers Summer Dreams 6x6 Paper Pad and Ephemera while making 25 cards!
