Hi everyone! I’m back this week with a quick little tag I created using an assortment of scraps and tags from the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits by Eileen Hull. So let’s get started!
First, I cut two of the largest tags, one medium tag and a small tag using the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits. I glued the two large tags back to back because there wasn’t a design/patterned on the back side of the patterned green tag. Plus I generally decorate the other side of the tag.
Second, I adhered one of the medium tags slightly off one side of the large tag and the other medium tag I added Foam Pop Dots to the back before placing onto the tag. I also lightly inked all the tags with a chalk ink in either tan or brown.
Third, I selected an image of a couple from the Mini Paper Dolls Pack and glued onto the raised tag. I also added the You and Me chipboard piece behind the image and adhered bits of patterned cardstock onto and behind the raised tag.
Fourth, I cut two medium, one small flower and one leaf sprig from the Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits (only at Scrapbook.com and on clearance), shaped with a Stylus and adhered all three flowers on top of each other along with the leaf sprig which I added to the back of the flower. I made a bow from thread which I placed under the flower and added an Enamel Dot to the center of the flower to finish the front of the tag.
Fifth, I kept the back side of the tag fairly simple. I placed the medium size tag from the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits over the tag which is on the front to cover the exposed back of the tag. I glued a small banner at the top of the tag and the “love” chipboard sentiment over that.
Sixth, the flowers, I think, are strawberry blossoms that I had received in a swap. So no idea the name of the printables or where they came from…sorry. I fussy cut the flowers and adhered them to the tag along with the “life is grand” sentiment. I finished by adding Liquid Gloss on random areas of the blossoms and leaves and two gold dots that was leftover from a package of thickers. I would like to mention I added ring protecter to each hole on each tag.
There you have it! Tags are a great way to challenge yourself in using what’s on your desk and supplies you haven’t touched in forever. Besides the obvious reason of just making to be making these can be made to add to presents or mini albums. Can you think of other ways to use these besides what I suggested? Leave a comment below.
