Hi, everyone! Today's Ways To Use It Challenge is to share whether you are a tortoise or a hare when it comes to crafting.....oh boy, am I a tortoise!!! Even the most simple projects take me forevah!! This tag took over an hour and most of my cards I spend anywhere from 2 - 3 hours, even the simple designs. My Frappuchino gift tag features the 'What's Brewin'?' set from North Coast Creations, along with the ODBD Custom 'Bookmarks' Dies, ODBD Custom 'Recipe Card and Tags' Dies, and ODBD 'Rustic Beauty Paper Collection'. To start, I cut the scalloped bookmark from the Rustic Beauty Designer Paper, adhered it to the blackberry cardstock, then trimmed the outside mat by hand. I then used a circle die to cut the opening for the bottle, then used a Scor-buddy to score where I needed it to bend. The sentiment tag was cut from the ODBD Custom 'Recipe Card and Tags Dies' set, stenciled in green, then stamped with the sentiment in blackberry ink and lined with green pearls. Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

Angella, thanks for sharing this fun tag. The sentiment is great for this tag, and it sure adds something to have a handmade tag on a treat. Thanks for playing along in the challenge.

Fabulous gift and so beautifully and cleverly done. Your time and thought are evident. Love how you kept your palette to mocha colors.
I have one of these drinks several times a week. My "recipe": In a Vitamix(strong blender) 1 bottle of the Frappacino, 10 ice cubes(reason for a powerful blender) and my left over coffee. Whir on high speed. Voila...a frozen mocha...for which most places charge a baby fortune. In a tall Tervis glass, it stays cold for a LONG time. I also use a larger diameter straw.

Oh, Angie, what a beautiful gift tag idea! I'm surprised that you are a tortoise, but your cards are made so beautifully that I understand that it takes a while to put it together nicely! But you really churn out the work, and it's always gorgeous! Love this, sweet friend! Hugs!

This is terrific, Angie! I'm w/ you, sweetie! Takes me a while...I'm a ponderer, apparently...Coloring & fussy cutting are really fast for me, but layouts are the sticklers.
