Layering Tips:

1.  The top layer of the Mayberry Raspberry Bits Tags weren't the right color but I loved the bottom layer because it was made from burlap and the texture tied in perfectly with the feel of what I wanted for my cards.  

*On one of the tags, I took off the top tag layer and used it as a pattern and traced a second tag onto paper that I wanted to use in its place.  

*The other tag was the right color, but was a bit plain in the center, so I cut a rectangular scrap from coordinating pattern paper and adhered it to the center of the tag to bring in added color and patterns.

2.  I wanted to dress up the Sugar Hill Autumn Chipboard so I decided to layer on embellishments such as twine around the top of the jar along with a flower.  I also snipped a small "Cherries" label out of patterned paper and adhered it across the front of the jar.  The chipboard apple was dressed up a bit by adding a flower at the top, and the letter "A" to the front.  Simple ways to use the products you have for any occasion and to build interest and dimension.
