Spellbinders and Esther Glas: Torn Edges CardLab Tag

Hi everyone! I’m excited to share the brand new Turn the Page Collection by Esther Glas for Spellbinders Paper Arts. It has a little of everything in this collection: stamping, embossing, journaling, rolodex cards and my favorite tags.

A handcrafted decorative tag featuring a bird, a birdcage, and colorful flowers, layered with patterned papers and embellishments.

So, of course, I started with the Torn Edges CardLab Etched Dies.

A collection of decorative labels and tags featuring the months of the year, including 'January,' 'February,' 'March,' etc., along with the word 'SPLENDID' and several seasonal icons like flowers, suns, leaves, and snowflakes.

I cut out the tag and the hole enforcer (hole enforcer didn’t make it into the photo below) and I was ready to start creating.

A crafted paper tag featuring a patterned design with circles and a small hole at the top, alongside a coordinating metal frame in orange.

I know I’ve said this before but if you have leftover scraps of cardstock, embellishments, etc. this is a great way to use up those scraps and create something fun. Most of the time after I am finished with a project all the scraps go into a zip lock bag which I work from when I start another project.

Anyways, back to the tag I used one of the borders from the Keepsake Capsule Borders Etched Dies as a decorative element. There’s so many possibilities with this set of dies.

For the base of the tag, I inked up the edges of the tag and scraps of cardstock. I applied an Adhesive Sheet to a scrap piece of cardstock and cut out one of the borders from the Keepsake Capsule Borders Etched Dies. I also placed Foam Squares to the back of a bird cage image.

I removed the Adhesive Sheet backing from the border die and placed onto the tag.

Also before placing the bird cage image onto the tag base, I inked scraps of cardstock and glued to the back side of the image and added the hole enforcer.

The next thing I did was fussy cut several roses, leaves and a bird images from a piece of cardstock. I adhered the flowers to the bird cage image and added a Gold Gem to two of the roses.

I placed Foam Squares to the back of the bird before placing onto the corner of the bird cage image and added loops of thread to finish.

This was a fun and relaxing project to work on and I can’t wait to create more so stay tuned! If you have any questions or comments about this project please leave them below.
