BALLOONS & BANNERS BIRTHDAY TAGS | with Kathy

One of my favorite papers in the Balloons & Banners collection is the Let's Celebrated paper with the fun, big tags!  Usually I make a mini album with these tags, but this time I decided to make some fun birthday tags.  Take a peek...

How fun are these tags?  They would be perfect to decorate a present or gift bag!

I made a shaker on my first tag.  I cut a square of acetate and sewed it onto the front of the card.  I filled it with some Let's Party and Cake Confetti shakers.  I added the balloons from the Odds & Ends and a sentiment from the Chit Chat pieces.  

To finish I added a few Star of the Party Shaped Sprinkles and topped it with a fun "bow" made of our new wired pom pom trim, some ribbons from my stash and some doodle twine.

For my second tag, I decided to do some die cutting.  I started by making 3 of the Ruffled Rosette Doodle Cuts.  I made them different sizes by trimming the straight side of the die cut.  After gluing them together, I added them to my tag.  I added puffy stickers to the center of the smaller rosettes, and I added the cupcake from the Sweet Celebrations Doodle Cuts to the center of the biggest rosette.  I finished my tag with a chit chat piece, a little woo hoo flag from the 6x8 pad and another fun pom pom bow.

My last tag also uses some of the new Doodle Cuts.  The banner and streamers were cut using the Surprise Party Doodle Cuts.  I also added some hip hip hooray shaped sprinkles and the Happy 

Birthday words are from the Chit Chat pieces.

My banner was strung together using some blue jean doodle twine.

Here is a close up of one of my bows.  For each one, I used 3 different strands of wired pom pom trim, a couple of ribbons from my stash and I tied it all together with some Chunky Doodle Twine.  They're so fun and festive!

I hope you got a little inspiration from my project today!  That's it for me, thank you for stopping by to peek.
