What is a Tag-Card?

As I visit blogs, I often read where others ask, "What do you do with tags?"

My answer to that question would be, "I make Tag-Cards".

A Tag-Card is made by attaching two tags together to create a card that opens.

(I usually attach mine at the top.)

The attached (or inside) tag is for writing a message to the recipient. 

If you visit my blog or my Flickr Gallery, you know that I really ENJOY making Tag-Cards.

I'm playing along with the following challenges.

1) Simon Says Stamp-Monday Challenge-Stamping-All-Stars

My personal All-Stars for stamping are:

-Clear Embossed Background Stamps on colored paper

-"Hugs" as a sentiment

-Hearts

2)10-Minute-Craft-Dash-Challenge #25

I love the colors Paulina chose.  My time was 9:52.

3) Hero Arts Stamp Your Story Inspiration Challenge

I was inspired by the layout of this card by Sally Traidman.

I've used the small heart in the Sketchbook Letters stamp set.

(Thank you, Jayne, for this stamp set.)
