Negatives Into Positives

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I'm sharing a little project using the negative die-cut technique. I wanted to make a set of all-occasion tags and so I grabbed some goodies from Taylored Expressions and got to work. 

I started by die-cutting the tag shape with Taylor's Gift Card Frame Die twice, from patterned paper and card stock. Then, I die-cut the letters using the Tall & Skinny Alphabet and popped up that tag shape over the patterned paper. Tie on some ribbon and twine and you have some easy, graphic and fun all-occasion tags!
