It is always fun to take something and re-purpose it to something else. The Tag Buffet Project Kit is ideal for this. This kit is an awesome value, it includes 30 tags, 5 each of 6 designs and a sturdy designer box for storing or gifting. These tags are big, detailed, and have gold foil accents, which makes them perfect for converting them into the focal point on cards.

This month's tutorial is perfect for making a bunch of cards without spending a lot of time, so it's a real win-win in my book. The Tag Buffet Project Kit is easy to dismiss as just tags, but I think you'll see it can be so much more!
In this tutorial I will share how to create a card for each of the 6 tag designs. You can mix and match tags and cards so that you give a gift with a coordinating tag and card, or you can make all 30 of the tags into cards, it is up to you!

If you would like to make even more projects with this kit, join us for Craft Day In A Box, "Light" option is still available. 

Let's go create something beautiful!
