- Run the 2-1/4” x 4” piece of Meandering Meadows Designer Paper through the Cut & Emboss Machine and die-cut the 2” x 3-3/4” tag using the Tailor Made Tags Dies.
- Using the 2” x 2-1/2” piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, stamp the basket of flowers, boots and garden tool using Black Memento ink. Color in using the Blends as shown in the sample. Run the cardstock through the Cut & Emboss Machine and use the Garden Meadow Dies from the Bundle to cut out all 3 images. Glue the tool onto the boots; adhere using adhesive to bottom right of tag. Glue flowers on bottom left side of tag so that it overlaps the boots. Adhere the tag to the left side of card base.
- Using Black Memento ink, stamp the sentiment to right side of tag.
