Today I'm sharing a fun tag I made using stamps from
Stampin' D' Amour!
I love the vintage images Pamela has designed - they are so versatile!
I chose another image and sentiment from the
Vintage Children Clear Stamp set
and made this birthday tag.
Here's how:

My first step is to chose a stamp image and color combo I want to work with. I wanted a pink birthday tag and love the papers and coordinating embellishments from Sassafras. Talk about a match made in heaven - these vintage papers with the SDA vintage stamps is perfection!

Always back my tags with strong chipboard so they hold up well when attached to a package. I still remember mixing up who gave us which wedding gifts because the tags had come off!
I usually recycle chipboard from cereal boxes or other package inserts. When you start looking for it, it will be everywhere so you won't have to buy it!

Cut a large tag in both chipboard and in patterned paper, which was used to cover the chipboard and cut a smaller tag out of cream card stock which was stamped on.
---------------------
Here's a tip for crisp stamped images (this works particularly well with large/thick images that use a lot of ink) - use a piece of foam or an old mouse pad under your card stock so you can press the stamp into the paper. I promise this will eliminate those annoying holes and/or light spots you used to get when you'd stamp large images!
Thanks for stopping by!
