Use our new Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to cut this fun tag card! It's so easy . . . and makes a quick and cute piece. The hole even "punches" itself!

September Stamp of the Month Art #11

Art by Debi Gardner

Here's a beautiful example of distressing by sanding. Our cardstock, with its white core, is the perfect paper for this! Debi uses our white chipboard to shade with red ink and then stamp "Congratulations" in black over the top.

September Stamp of the Month Art #10

Art by Sue Laufer


There's always room for a nice, clean look! And this card is a perfect example. Layer a couple papers for a border strip across the top, bind it with some help, and it's a great place to hang a tag . . . that makes a perfect event invitation!

September Stamp of the Month Art #9

Art by Maggie Cameron


This little 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" card is darling! Matting and 3D-mounting the third word "times" really adds some pizazz. It's hard to tell from my photo - but Maggie added a very nice finishing touch by coating the face of the pocket watch with Liquid Glass. Perfect!

September Stamp of the Month Art #7

Art by Julie Reynolds


Stamping on our B&T paper can give added interest to a card. Here, the tag is stamped directly onto a "Typeset" B&T duo. The subtle grid-type background lends just enough personality, without fighting for your attention with the stamp images.

September Stamp of the Month Art #6

Art by Cathy Stai


Add a little flair by notching the tag . . . Use a 1/4" hole punch to notch the sides, and then run some Waxy Flax or Hemp around, knot, and it's a terrific look!

September Stamp of the Month Art #5

Art by Lynn Hart

Mounting an added layer onto a tag is a great look. Use a little 3D foam tape to do this, and it's easy peasy!

September Stamp of the Month Art #4

Art by Linda Taylor


This set comes with some little "corner filler" stamps that work so great on tag images! The little bicycle here, stamped in an ink that matches the paper mat ties the whole card together. Such a little touch, but so artistic!

September Stamp of the Month Art #2

Art by Beth Naumann

Overlapping layers is the creative focal point of this card! "Typeset" papers are used and simply arranged in an overlapping look that gives depth to its design.

September Stamp of the Month Art #1


Art by Amy McGrew


Ink distressing gives this card its well-worn, well-loved look. It takes the sharp edges off and warms it right up!
