Journaling Tag

 Spurred on by my recent post where I used a layered tag I had a little trawl around Amazon to see what different tag dies are around and there were in fact quite a few.  You can guess what happened next - my fingers strayed onto the 'Buy Now' button for this unbranded die set.  Making this tag wasn't quite as straightforward as I'd imagined, probably because I chose a fairly sturdy card for the base tag which is a sort of triptych but I had to do quite a bit of trimming of the pockets to enable the three layers to fold into the closed position.  It occurs to me that the die was probably designed to work with Designer paper rather than card and I did a quick trial with a few scraps and that seems to be the case.  Yes, I know I should have done the trial before the actual tag but I couldn't resist diving right in without thinking it through.

Anyway I now have another tag for the Tag-along (and ATC) challenge - my fourth one so that's it until the new theme is announced for next month.  The main tag and most of the inclusions in the pockets were made using the die set and bits and pieces of card from my snippets collection.  Stamps used were mostly from a selection of magazine freebies which I've had for a few years, along with a few 'bits' from my 'useful bits' pot.

The open tag showing the pockets (card used is very dark navy and the papers shades of blue and light grey) although it looks dark brown on my screen - sigh!
