DIY Tags from Scrap Cardstock: Quick and Easy

Hi everyone! I’m back with my first project of the month for Eileen Hull. I created two quick tags using the largest tag die from the Waterfall and Tags Thinlits. Tags are a great way to use up scraps of cardstock and those random bits of lace or embellishments that cover your desk. Anyways, let’s get started!

A decorative tag featuring a butterfly illustration, the text 'W is for wings', and 'DO NOT CRUSH' prominently displayed. The background includes colorful patterns and a vintage label.

First I gathered up scrap of cardstock that coordinated with the color of the tag. I inked the edges of the scraps with a combo of blue and brown chalk inks and adhered to the tag.

The “W is for Wings” is a printable, the butterfly is a chipboard piece and the “do not crush” sentiment is from one of Tim Holtz’s collections. I glued all to the tag to finish.

The second tag I used an assortment of cardstock and a little piece of ledger paper which I inked with blue chalk ink. I adhered all to the tag.

I added a Mini Paper Dolls, a clock face and floral chipboard pieces, oval scalloped frame and the “five-O’clock” sentiment to the tag. I used thread to create a bow and adhered underneath the sentiment to finish. Oh how I love creating tags and have already started more! I’ll be sharing those soon.
