Hi everyone! I’m back this week with another tag I created using scraps and bits of cardstock, leftover Mat Board and the Lace 3D Embossing Folder by Eileen Hull. If you remember earlier this month I shared another tag using the same embossing folder but had turned the tag a different way than this tag for a completely different look. If you are interested in that post you can find it HERE. Anyways, let’s get started!
First, I had cut out a tag from a leftover scrap of Mat Board using the Tag and Bookplates Diecut (retired). As with the other tag I made earlier this month the mat board was shorter than the actual tag on the diecut and the approximate size of the tag came to 3 1/4″x5 7/8″. I embossed the tag with the Lace 3D Embossing Folder and lightly went over the embossed areas with an aqua/teal chalk ink.
Second, I lightly applied Ivory Luster Wax over the embossed area.
Third, I lightly hit areas of the tag with brown chalk ink. It gave it a nice vintage look.
Fourth, I gathered up scraps of different patterned cardstocks, cut a parts, a “Happily Ever After” sentiment, a couple from the Minis Paper Dolls, chipboard “x” piece and a flower.
Fifth, I added layers of scraps and the sentiment to the tag. I also had this leftover bit of cardstock that I had embossed with the Crochet Mandala 3D Embossing Folder. I was happy that piece complemented what I had already added to the tag.
Sixth, I added flat back pearls to the sentiment, adhered a couple from the Minis Paper Dolls onto the tag. Next I placed a Foam Pop Dot to the back of a flower and an “x” chipboard piece to the center before placing onto the tag.
Seventh, I cut a medium and large heart and the smaller leaf from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits. I shaped the leaf with a Stylus and adhered under the flower. The hearts I placed on the tag and added a bow and loops made of thread to finish this side of the tag.
Eighth, I covered the back of the tag by cutting out another tag to cover the not so “pretty” side. I glued that to the back.
Ninth, I kept this side of the tag simple and put together an assortment of diecuts from various collections that I’ve “hoarded” through the years. I am trying hard to use what I have instead of going out and buying more supplies.
Eleventh, I layered and adhered all the diecuts, along with a piece of lace and another couple from the Minis Paper Dolls to the tag.
Twelfth, I added a bow made of thread and a gem to the center of the gauge to finish the tag.
What do you do with all your leftover scraps and diecut embellishments? Do you use them or collect (hoard) them? Let me know in the comments below.
