Dad Tag Sentiment - Shaped Card


Just sharing a quick card that I made from Tagged Sentiments included in the LD Great Gift Giving Bundle using my Pazzles Inspiration software. This card makes me smile, because when I first met my husband he had a moustache!  One evening, 10 years later he decided to shave it off without telling anyone!  It took my 3 children and I, a couple of days to work out what was different about him.  My youngest piped up at tea time "Dad your moustache has gone". We all burst into laughter, hence the saying......."Love is blind"

Anyway here is a simple tutorial for those of you just learning about your software.


I imported the svg tagged sentiment into my software and removed the fill.  


I then selected Inline/Outline on my left side bar using the Pazzles Studio Pro software.  This opened up the transformation menu.  I selected an thickness of 0.15 and checked Inline (see red line).
I also deleted the hole at the top of the tag.


I then selected the Move Point Tool and Scissors (Cut Straight Line). I drew a straight line, holding my shift key to cut across the tag just above the DAD lettering.


I then moved the Inline part of the tag across to a clear space on my visual mat which gave me the layer for my patterned paper on my tag.


Now to make the base of my Tagged card.......I took my original tag, selected C on my keyboard, Mirror, According to (top/middle coordinate, duplicate, and apply


I then moved the top tag down slightly using my down arrow key on my keyboard to overlap the other tag.  Then I selected Weld.  

You should hopefully have your Tag Sentiment shaped card!


I cut out a moustache from another LD set and adhered it to the front of my card using craft foam pads.  I just couldn't resist adding a punched heart!


I thought this would be a quick simple card for Father's Day.

Have a great day ~ Joanna
