A Fun Layered Tag with Joyful Squares + A Rainbow of Thanks

Over the past week, I shared projects from my team’s InKing Royalty Card Swap. I was so happy to showcase these gorgeous creations and celebrate the incredible talent in our group.

While I didn’t make a card for the swap this time around, I did want to include something special in each package I mailed back out. So I tucked in a small gift – and attached a handmade tag to each one. Today, I’m excited to share that tag with you!

Here’s the tag I made:

I’m going to walk you through how I created it (it was such a fun little project!), but first I want to highlight a couple of the products that made it shine.

The paint stripes and sentiment are from a brand-new stamp set that will be released on March 3 as part of the Online Exclusives launch. The set – A Rainbow of Thanks – is packed with versatile images and sentiments. I can already tell it’s going to be a favorite!

Here’s a sneak peek look at A Rainbow of Thanks:

The heart of the tag is cropped with the dies from the Joyful Squares Bundle.

As I am writing this post on Sunday, the bundle is on backorder – but it’s expected to be back in stock this week. Yay!

I used the square frame die to create both the Basic White frame and the popped-up center panel of the tag. That little bit of dimension makes all the difference.

How I Made Each Tag

• I cut 3″ square pieces of Basic White cardstock (slightly larger than needed).
• I stamped the three paint stripes in Strawberry Slush, Summer Splash and Timid Tiger ink.
• I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black and signed the tag.
• I cropped the stamped panel with the square frame die from the Joyful Squares Dies.
• I glued the frame to a piece of Summer Splash cardstock.
• I popped up the center of the die-cut piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals, carefully lining up the paint stripes.
• I added a trio of Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a little sparkle.

Here’s how the tag look from the side, showcasing the popped up center:

How fun is that?!

I love how fresh and happy this combination of Timid Tiger, Strawberry Slush and Summer Splash feels together. It’s bold, bright and perfect for a cheerful thank-you.

If you love this color combo as much as I do, I hope you’ll save it for future reference:

Last Thoughts

Sometimes it’s the smallest handmade details that mean the most. A simple tag, a thoughtful color combination, a little dimension – those extras turn a package into something memorable. I’m so grateful for my InKing Royalty team and love finding little ways to say thank you.

I really love how this tag turned out. The popped up center would work well on a card, too!
