Create Unique Junk Journal Tags with Eileen Hull's Dies

Hi everyone! I am back with the third and final post in this series of tags I created using Eileen Hull’s newest collection and a lot of past dies. If you haven’t been following along you can find the first post HERE and the second post HERE. Anyways, let’s get started!

A colorful collection of decorative cards attached by a ring, featuring various patterns and images, displayed on a white lace surface.

For the first tag I cut the largest tag from the Ephemera Pocket and Tags Thinlits. I glued a fussy cut image of a house with tree, a tiny strip of cardstock and three Pearls.

The back of the tag I added a scalloped circle die from my stash to one side of the tag. I glued a color swatch printable and a strip of patterned cardstock over part of the scalloped circle die. I cut out the number 6 from the Nora Numbers Thinlits and adhered near the bottom of the tag. I added a tiny flower that I had cut from the Windowsill Vase and Flowers Thinlits and a Gem to the center of the flower. I placed it onto the number 6.

I cut out the smaller tag and glued a fussy cut house and a strip of cardstock to it. I used another tiny flower from the Windowsill Vase and Flowers Thinlits and added a Gem to the center of the flower. The tiny leaf I’m not sure which collection that comes from but I adhered that to the back of the flower and added to the strip of cardstock.

I found this scrap of cardstock that had the word “things” on it. So I glued it to the tag along with the number 7 from the Nora Numbers Thinlits.

I cut a largest tag and glued the “love you more” sentiment to one side of the tag. I added the married couple from the Mini Paper Doll and a small heart from the Stitched Hearts Thinlits to the tag.

The other side I glued three strips of cardstock to the tag and added fussy cut boots with flowers to the tag.

I cut out the smaller tag. I adhered a piece of lace to one side of the tag. I cut two of large and one small flowers from the Windowsill Vase and Flowers Thinlits. I layered and glued together and added a Pearl to the center of the flower. I dug into my stash and used a leaf sprig which I adhered it and the flower to the tag.

For the back side of the tag I cut a label from the Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers Thinlits and glued to the tag. I cut the number 8 from the Nora Numbers Thinlits and adhered to the corner of the label and I added the “No.” sticker from the Clippings Cardstock Stickers next to the number 8.

I cut out the larger tag. I used the negative space from a die I had cut out and glued to one side of the tag. I added a circle die over what was there. I adhered a strip of cardstock and Ric Rac onto the circle die. I layered two flowers from the Windowsill Vase and Flowers Thinlits and added a Gem to the center of the flower. I dug into my stash and found a leaf sprig die that I glued to the tag along with the flower. To finish I glued a little girl from the Mini Paper Doll to the tag.

The back side of the tag I embossed a circle die with Watercolour Bouquet Embossing Folder and lightly inked with an Aqua Chalk Ink and glued onto the tag along with a postage stamp from the Faux Postage Thinlits. I applied Adhesive Sheet to a piece of green cardstock and cut a portion of a wreath from the Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits. I placed the wreath onto the tag. I cut the letter “T” from the Nora Alphabet Thinlits and I glued onto the circle and postage stamp portion of the tag to finish.

I cut out the larger tag and embossed with the Watercolour Bouquet Embossing Folder. I lightly inked over the edges with Aqua Chalk Ink. I adhered Pom Pom trim to the bottom of the tag.

The back I cut out a portion of my business card with the tag die and polk a dot cardstock from the bottom half. I glued both to the back of the tag I had embossed. I added a Ric Rac to finish.

I had so much fun decorating all the tags and I can’t wait to create more. I love the fact that I am using up scraps of cardstock, embellishments that didn’t make it into a project and it gives me a chance to create a little when I don’t have much time.
