Jumbo Tags

Today I created Jumbo Tags for the very first time on Episode 3 of Template Thursday with Tammy.  I decided to pull Sketch 4 from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog to create my Jumbo Tags.  1 Sketch, 2 ways.  With this sketch it is perfect to do the same sketch but just make one simple change with the orientation.

 

Two decorative handmade birthday tags on a gray background, featuring pastel cake illustrations, floral accents, and messages like “Blow out the candles!” and “Bestie.” Both tags have pink borders and ribbon ties.

I was inspired by my dear friend Tracy Travis, from Stampin Queen Bee on YouTube, and she also did this sketch and came up with the perfect Template Sizing. The Designer Paper that I am using, is from the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack which is perfect to make this adorable jumbo tag.

Dimensions:
  • Main Tag Pretty in Pink 3 1/2″ x 6″
  • 2nd Layer Designer Paper and Basic White Layer for the Back 3 1/4″ x 5 3/4″

 

The sketches can be found on page 24 in the Annual Catalog and if you turn to page 28, you will find 8 more sketch ideas showcasing scrapbook layouts. This sketch is the original orientation.

 

 

A pink gift tag with a gold ribbon features a layered cake on a stand, decorated with flowers and the word Bestie. The background has a subtle script pattern and Tammy Civello CardsByLLC.com is printed at the bottom.

 

Flip it over and add a Basic White Layer to add an additional sentiment and your message.

 

A handmade gift tag with pink edges and HAPPY BIRTHDAY written in blue on a white center, tied with sheer gold and silver ribbon, placed on a textured gray surface.

 

Just by turning the orientation you can get another fun look.

Inked Occasions

It’s kits week on Teach it Tuesday with Tammy and Jennie and I am playing with the Inked Occasions April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit.  It was so much fun creating the not only the original Inked Occasions Kit, but offer some alternate projects to give you more bank for your buck.

 

 

A collection of handmade greeting cards with colorful, watercolor floral backgrounds, gold foil accents, and messages such as “thinking of you,” “hugs,” and “congratulations.”.

Full disclosure, when I picked this kit, I did not pay attention that it was a past Paper Pumpkin Kit and typically you have to have a paper pumpkin subscription to get past kit refills, but there were extra kits of this kit and I was so excited.  So, if you loved this kit as much as I did be sure so grab yours quickly, because once they are gone they are gone.  You can either click the image below to purchase, you can click the supply list at the bottom of this post.

 

A cardmaking kit with colorful floral paper, envelopes, gold die-cut words, a small ink pad, clear stamps, acrylic block, adhesive dots, and decorative card bases. Text reads: “Inked Occasions #166252 www.cardsbytlc.com.”.

 

In this kit you can make 9 beautiful cards.  I created all 3 designs as shown on the live.

 

Three colorful handmade greeting cards on a wooden surface, each featuring watercolor designs, gold accents, and messages: thinking of you, hugs, Im here for you, and congratulations, you are amazing!.

 

But if you create using my and easy layout with some additional supplies, you can up to 18 cards by cutting the original card bases in half, and down to 4″ x 5 1/4″

 

Three handmade greeting cards with colorful watercolor backgrounds, gold accents, and die-cut words. Two say “hugs” with floral details; the third says “Thinking of You” in a circle with leaves. Cards by Tammy Civello.
