Keeping Tabs - Color Combo

I CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) this card from the Annual Catalog. It’s a great place to get ideas. I used the Keeping Tabs Stamp Set and coordinating punch.

 
 

The color combo that I used is from my August Inspiration Calendar - Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana and Highland Heather. You can get my calendar each month when you subscribed to my email list.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Coastal Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Basic White Layer - 4 x 5 1/4

  • Basic White - stamp 12 floral tab images in Lemon Lime Twist ink and 12 floral tab images in Highland Heather ink. I used 1 1/4 strips and stamped the half of the tab with the floral design, stamping at the bottom of the strip. Punch using the coordinating punch.

  • Adhere the tabs to the white layer starting at the bottom and alternating the colors. Start with the two center pieces and adhere working from the bottom to the top. The top layer will hang off the top edge of the layer. Trim off from the back.

  • Next add work on each side, these will hang off the edge of the layer. TIP: use a Silicon Craft Sheet to keep the glue from getting on your workspace. Trim off the overhang from the back.

  • Adhere the layer to the card base.

  • Die cut the label using Unbounded Love Dies from Basic White and the mat from Coastal Cabana. Stamp sentiment in Coastal Cabana ink on the white label and adhere to the Coastal Cabana mat.

  • Punch 3 large boughs from Coastal Cabana using the Bough Punch. Adhere to the back of the label and then adhere the label to the card with Dimensionals.

  • Add some light Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

 
 

On the inside layer (4 x 5 1/4), stamp sentiment in Coastal Cabana ink. The sentiment is from the Country Birdhouse Stamp Set. Stamp the floral part of the tab image across the bottom in Highland Heather ink. I used the tab image that has the floral just along the bottom and inked up only that part.

 
 

I loved this card when I saw it in the catalog and wanted to make it. I’m happy with how it turned out with these colors.
