A Card Series with Football and Manilla Tag

1.   The invitation: Print out the template with the manilla tags, which is available as a separate PDF file for this idea. Cut out and draw the outline of the large manilla tag onto a piece of Vivi Gade design paper from the Paris series. Cut a slightly larger manilla tag from Color Bar card.

2.   On the same piece of Color Bar card, cut a small piece measuring 5.5 x 7.5cm. Use double-sided adhesive tape for assembling all three layers; the large at the bottom, the small at the top.

3.   Print out the photo and trim it, so it is slightly smaller than the small piece of card.

4.   Make a small cross on the assembled manilla tag with a pencil where you wish to insert the football brad.

5.   Make two small holes, one above the other, at the top of the front cover of the greeting card. Tie a piece of natural hemp through the holes and tie on the manilla tag.

6.   Menu card: Cut a 9 x 14cm piece of Color Bar card (use the dark side). Decorate this in the same fashion as the invitation.

7.   Place card: Draw small manilla tag template onto design paper. Cut out. Cut out a piece of card slightly bigger than the manilla tag. Assemble the two with tape. Print out name on white paper. Attach onto the manilla tag with adhesive tape. Attach football brad in the hole.

8   TIP: bend the brad legs in the same direction to make a small hook for hanging the place card onto a glass.
