Bunco Name Tags
Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2015 9:25 pm
I belong to my neighborhood Bunco Club. We play every other month. So last night I co-hosted with my friend Judy. She has it at her home, sets up the tables, etc. I do the computer stuff, invitations and of course the name tags. No one else is goofy enough (or crafty) to bother with fancy tags. But of course I can't possibly write names on Hello tags. This is what I ended up with.
For all of you electronic cutter owners out there, I have something awesome to share with you. I love all the die cut words that are out there but I just knew I could do this myself. I wrote out each name with a semi-fat Sharpie on one sheet of cheap card stock, scanned it and then with my KNK retrieved it from the graphics file. I was able to color each name on the computer plus create a colored shadow. Then I printed the names out and let the KNK do the cutting. I am thrilled at how these names turned out. Now I need to set to work creating words and phrases to store in my graphics arsenal. The black tag backgrounds was a free SVG file tag from Bird's Cards (http://www.birdscards.com ) and then I used a Spellbinder's shape for the base. And I used a paper pad that I have never touched in the process! Yay!
The Bunco ladies were thrilled with them.
