I love making a custom card or tag the reflects the unique personality of the recipient. This tag was for my neighbor’s son on his 6th birthday, he is really into frogs:
I used the stamps Ribbit (Frog & Mushroom), Soda Pop Alpha (2 sizes), Vintage Cupcake, Carnival Alpha ( Small) and the little tag hole enforcer thingie is from Holly & Mistletoe. All stamps are from Pink Persimmon. I colored the image with my Promarkers.
Stamping tip: When you are stamping a word (like I did with the name “Brennon”) and you want it centered start by stamping the middle letter (in this case “n”) and work out from there, perfectly centered every time!
Storage Tip: Look for spice racks at yard sales, the bottles are perfect for storing buttons by color and they are so pretty sitting on your craft table!
Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
Adorable tag Lindsay! The frog looks perfect with the icing! Love your idea for centering a name too!

Tried to order the Promarkers using the code but it would not allow the code to be used.

Hi Janice,
I just tried to order with the code and it worked. It has to be the 10 marker theme sets: http://www.letraset.com/products/12-ProMarker-10-Packs—Theme-Sets/
And you have to use the code: SHH-0711
I had to try and make sure and it works;) when you view your cart there is a box below that says “coupon” add the code there and click ADD and you will be all set;)
Enjoy!
Lindsay

Cute project.
I also have an old spice rack that I picked up at a garage sale but hadn’t had a chance to put anything in it yet. I hope to get to cleaning my craft room today and finally get some projects done. Too many things to do, not enough time. LOL

Hi Lindsay, your card is adorable and the colors are so vibrant and pretty together! I love the spice rack tip. I am always looking for things for storage but never see them at the thrift store. I guess I need to visit them every day.
Have a great day!
