Though this was a fun card to design, I drove myself nuts today, misplacing the front curtain die portion in this Sizzix Framelit Big Top set. I was forced to do some deep cleaning and STILL didn't find it. It dawned on me later however, that I could cut the base of the tent again, cut that piece in half and score for the folds. The tent was cut from a red & white striped printed envelope and I added the yellow stripes and purple accents with Copics. The Ferris wheel was silver embossed and fussy cut. The fireman was cut out with the SNC and laid onto the flap of the tent so he is very 3-D and flaps with the word "Amazing" stamped on clear packaging and attached. I stamped the truck on the yellow tickets. Rather than glue, I pieced the rest onto the sticky side of a mailing label. Got rid of the stick by dipping in clear EP. Used a label maker for Neil's name. Added a little clear glaze pen so the truck tires shine. In my mind, tickets count as tags

Love your bright eye-catching circus tent. (great improv and if you're like me you'll run into the front of your tent about April when you look for egg dies - lol) Love how you have accolades shooting out of the fire hose.

Tickets totally work for tags, Lori. You put a lot of thought into this and it shows. He will get a kick out of this as I do. Hope your find your missing die. I am sure you will. I can relate about driving ourselves nuts when this happens!

I knew this must be yours. Ack, sorry about the deep cleaning and not finding, I've had that TWICE recently. Great fireman image and wonderful circus tent for a great happy vibe. What a great assortment of tickets.

Oh my goodness this card is amazing! The fireman and his hose with the word amazing is fantastic and you got both the circus and fireman all on one card. When my uncle worked for the circus, my aunt did as well and she was one of the ticket takers so she will love the connection with the tickets. Thank you so much for helping lift my uncle's spirits with this card. It truly means the world to me to have my crafty friends send him a card.

Wow! Fabulous collage card for Neil. Love all your elements and I think those tickets are brilliant. Sorry about the lost die. They are never really "lost" but it is amazing how well they can hide sometimes. Anyways, this card is really great and I am Neil and Chris will love it.

I like the tickets as tags. I almost did the same, but couldn't find a place for mine. Who can resist saving all their fun tickets? It seems we were all pretty excited for an excuse to use our circus stamps today. Love your fun scene and awesome fireman!
