• A   12” x 6”  folded in the middle to make a 6” x 6” card
• B  3-1/2” x 4” 
• C  2-1/2” x 1-3/4”
• D  2-7/8” x 2-1/4”
• E  2-1/2”x 2”
• F  3/4" x 6”
• G  2-1/2” x 6”

1. Score cardstock A, down the center and fold giving you a 6" x 6" card.  Cut papers F and G and glue onto the card as illustrated in the layout. Trim the edges of the card for evenness.  Cut papers B, C, D and E to size.
2. To make the tag from B measure 1/2" from each corner on the short edge.  With a ruler and craft knife cut from the bottom corner up to the ½” mark creating a sloped edge.  Do this on both sides to create the tag shape.  Ink the edges with pigment ink.  Place B over C matching the lower corners and lining up the bottom of each piece.  With the ruler and craft knife cut the slope on the long side of C.  Glue C onto B.
3. Choose a clear rubber stamp set and stamp your image above C on B in dark ink.  Stamp a second larger image onto E also in dark ink.  Color both rubber stamped images as desired.
4. This card making template is designed specifially for the use of an authentic reinforcement which is placed at the top of the tag after if is inked. Once it is placed on top of the tag punch a hole in the center of the reinforcement for ribbon later.  Mat E with D and secure onto the tag with 3-d sticky foam.
5. Insert ribbons by cutting two 5 – 6 inch lengths, fold them in half and insert the loop through the tag hole.  Pull the ends of the ribbon through the loop and pull tight careful not to rip the paper.
6. Secure the completed tag onto the card making project using 3-d sticky foam.  Add a stamped sentiment, saying or thought inside your card or leave it blank for a finished project!
