Beach Themed Easy Tag Tutorial

Tag Tutorial for Cherish The Memory : Romantic Summer  

You can find beautiful paper crafting kits at Cherish the Memory's Etsy page here.

This tag was very fun, easy, and quick to make! I typically have a tendency to overdo simple projects and turn them into complicated and intricate ones, but a nice simple project can be a breath of fresh air and when that is needed, nothing can be better than a tag! Tags are perfect for anyone and any occasion. I like to use tags for small gestures or situations in which cards would be too much. A tag is also an excellent way to limit yourself to a small space and will also help you not get anxious over having to cover large spaces, such as that of a canvas.

The materials you will need :

A plain tag 

Raffia and this gorgeous Washi Tape from Cherish the Memory Etsy Store

Creative Embellishments Fence Chipboard or any chipboard fence of your choice (optional)

Tutorial

I attached the raffia through the loop hole and affixed the background from the Romantic Summer Paper Card Kit down with the gold washi. I used the washi to cover the rest of the tag background and affixed the chipboard with mounting tape and craft glue. *The pictures are a bit different because I was indecisive and was experimenting with washi placement* 

Some natural fibers were tucked under the fence. 

Here I decided to add some gold ribbon to the raffia but you can use whatever other color you wish or just add more raffia! You can also see how I continued to over the tag with more washi to make a connection with the gold ribbon.

Don't these beach huts look super cute? I had originally planned on using only one, but had to find a way to add another, so I cut the top portion of one and placed it behind some board paper (included in the kit) so it would look like one was peeking in the background. The ideas are endless here, so I added some color matching flowers, and added more blue raffia to match the tag's decor at the top.

The kit has a boatload of accessories, so you can choose to add the seashells and extra ephemera in the kit around the entire tag as you please. For a beach effect I added cheesecloth, which you can find at any food store. 

And here is my finished product. I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy tutorial!

"Romantic Summer" Birthday Card for Cherish the Memory

 

"Romantic Summer" 

A birthday card I made using Cherish the Memory's 

3D Romantic Summer Greeting Card Kit

This birthday card is perfect for that summer lovin' beach bunny in your life! But seriously, who doesn't love the beach? I can't think of anything that symbolizes the promise of summer more than a fantastic time getting your feet wet at the beach!

Whether you are gifting a card to a person going away on vacation or who just plans to spend some time to relax in their backyard pool, this card kit is perfect for anyone that enjoys the summer and what it has to bring. The card kit can be used for any occasion, and I chose to use this sentiment, as I know a lot of people with summer birthdays! 

This kit offers so many options that I think it took me longer to choose which layout I liked the best for the card over the time it took me to make the card. That's what's so great about these card kits, that they are so well put and coordinated that it really isn't difficult to put together an amazing looking card, all the while having more than enough options to make a card unique!

Below in these closeups you can see that I have added a bit, but not much of any embellishments, because the paper included in the kit was already vividly detailed. 

Above you can see that the kit comes with a generous amount of paper options to create layers! Along with perforated images to skip any annoying fussy cutting. (My favorite thing about this kit) 

The kit contains an abundance of really cute paper accessories such as this ship in a bottle, so you can make your card as detailed as you wish, or keep it simple and beautiful.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Stay tuned for a future picture tutorial on using this kit for Tags!
