Thanks Tag

Happy Wednesday! 

I have been busy playing with the planner dies this week, to create this cute Thanks Tag. To create my tag, I've combined some of the new dies and stamps from the Planner Essentials Collection. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn how to recreate my Thanks Tag.


To start, you'll need to choose four pieces of patterned paper. I used the Love Letters Collection from Mintay Papers. 

Die cut the small tag from the Planner Essentials 26 - Planner Pocket 3 - Tag & Toppers die out of the first piece of patterned paper. Ink the edges of the tag using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Die cut the ripped out tag topper for the small tag from the Planner Essentials 26 - Planner Pocket 3 - Tag & Toppers die out of the second piece of patterned paper. Ink the edges of the tag topper using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Planner Essentials 27 - Retro Number Trio die, die cut one of the medium banners out of the same paper you used for the tag and a third piece of patterned paper. Ink the edges of the banner using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the fourth patterned paper piece, die cut the heart branch twice from the Planner Essentials 25 - Double Heart Insert. You will flip one of the heart branches over and use the other side. 


From the Planner Essentials 27 - Retro Number Trio, you'll need the banner die. Die cut the banner out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the Thanks sentiment from the Pieces of Life 4 - Retro stamp set and stamp in the middle of the banner. Ink the edges of the banner using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Planner Essentials 25 - Double Heart Insert, die cut the two floral branches out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.  


Adhere the tag topper to the top of the tag.


Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the two banners to the top right corner of the tag. Add a small piece of white twine in behind the banners. Attach the ends to the back of the tag.


Adhere the two floral branches and two heart branches as desired in the middle of the tag.


Use foam squares to adhere the Thanks banner to the bottom portion of the tag. To finish off the tag, tie a piece of white twine through the top of the tag.


Here are a few closeup photos of the tag.




Here is the finished Thanks Tag.
