Have you ever fancied making a card that keeps on giving? Well maybe this tag card could be the answer.

Papermill Direct products you will need:

• ivory linen card
• gold sandgrain card
• lemon gingham card
• gold non-shed glitter card
• double sided tape

You will also need:

• bee stamps - I used Funky Fossil Bee Geometric
• dies - I used MFT Die-namics stitched traditional tags & rectangle peek-a-boo window
• stencil - I used Funky Fossil Honeycomb Background, Honeycomb Stitches & Honey Bees
• Pens - I used Copic
• ribbon

How to make:

1. Trim a piece of ivory linen card to 11".
2. Score lines down at 2.75", 5.5" & 8.25".
3. Score a line across at 2.5". Fold this up.
4. Fold along the lines scored at 2. to create a concertina shape.

5. Use stencils to add a pattern to the inside of the card.

Decorate the front:

1. Cut a piece of the gold sandgrain card 2.5" x 5.5".
2. Die cut a window.
3. Adhere the window to a piece of lemon gingham card.
4. Adhere this to the front of the card.
5. Stamps, colour & cut out a bee image and adhere it to the window.
6. Stamp a greeting onto lemon gingham and adhere it under the window.

Decorate the inside:

1. Stick the outer ends of the pockets along the edge using double sided tape.
2. Cut four 2.25" x 2" rectangles from lemon gingham card. Adhere one to each pocket.
3. Cut two 2" x 1.75" rectangles from non-shed gold glitter and also from gold sandgrain card. Adhere to the gingham card.
4. Add bees and sentiment stamps.
5. Cut four tags - two from gold sandgrain and two from gold non-shed glitter card.
6. Stamp images and add ribbon ties.

This is such a versatile card that can be easily adapted for any occasion. I'm thinking Father's Day or an anniversary or to welcome a new baby. Instead of bees just add photos and hand written personal messages on the tags.
