3 years ago, I hit upon the idea of mounting large gift tag/bookmarks with photo corners on the bottom only, therefore giving the recipient a little gift with their card. Because of their smallish size, they are quick to design and even quicker with the idea of making multiples. An added bonus is one doesn't have to write a lot inside! I make a bunch of "Tim Holtz Style" colored backgrounds with random Distress & DO ink colors on a craft sheet, mist with water and then mop them up. In this design, I split the forest stamp in two stamping off the edges. Chalk inks are very opaque and go over anything lighter so no masking is needed. I edge with either more ink or metallic Gelatos. I crank the tag, (I highlight it with a lighter or darker ink) the back paper and part of the envelope with an EF, so they all match. All tags are mounted with bottom photo corners and get a twine for tying. "To/From" is stamped on the back of the tags.
