Vintage Buttons Tag

May 3, 2024

Hi everyone! I’m back with my tag for the week. I used leftover scraps from pervious projects and used Eileen Hull’s Vintage Buttons 3D Embossing Folder and the Tag and Bookplate Diecut (retired) by Tim Holtz. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I had leftover scraps of Mat Board that I cut a tag from using the Tag and Bookplate Diecut (retired). Since the piece of mat board was shorter than the actual tag die I have a “short” version of the tag.

I placed the tag into the Vintage Buttons 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Diecut Machine.

I lightly inked the tag with a few different shades of blue inks.

Second, I really didn’t like the how the blue looked “flat” so I lightly inked over the raised areas with a green chalk ink. Then, I applied Rose Gold Luster Wax over the raised areas of the tag. You can use a Blending Tool to apply the wax but I chose to use my finger.

Third, I gathered up my cardstock scraps, these are from 7 Gypsies… I miss this company so much, I added those to the tag. I cut a a crochet piece from the Crochet #2 Thinlits, inked with a brown chalk ink and glued to the tag. The button card piece I did add thread to each button hole before adding to the tag.

Fourth, I dug into my stash of flowers and found this vintage looking flower and glued it onto the tag.

Fifth, I finished this side of the tag with bows made from thread and lace and a button.

Sixth, I covered the back of the tag with a polkadot cardstock. I kept this side simple by adding a few scraps of cardstock to the tag.

Seventh, the little boy image and butterfly wings was already fussy cut and ready in my stash. This printable is from the Steampunk Fairy Boys Paper Dolls. I glued another piece of the crochet diecut to the tag along with the butterfly boy, a bit of lace and a button to finish this side of the tag.

If you have any questions about this tag or comments in general please leave them below. Also if you haven’t been by Eileen Hull’s blog for the latest from her teams you can find the post HERE.

Thinking of You Peacock Card

May 1, 2024

Hi everyone and Happy 1st of May! As the weather starts warming up and my time indoors is less, you know gardening and time in the pool, I wanted to share a quick and easy card I created. I used Eileen Hull‘s Faux Postage Thinlits and the Floral Silhouettes Thinlits (only at Scrapbook.com) to create this card in under 15 minutes. So let’s get started!

First, I folded a piece of Blue Cardstock in half and placed the “fold line” slightly inside of the of the rectangle thinlit from the Faux Postage Thinlits before running through the Diecut Machine. Side note, I did use wash tape to hold the thinlit in place while running through the diecut machine. This keeps the thinlit from shifting.

Second, I selected the peacock cardstock from the Flourish 6″x6″ Paper Pad (retired). I had already cut off a portion of the cardstock to create a journaling spot and the cardstock didn’t completely cover all of the Faux Postage Thinlit so I centered the image onto the thinlit and ran through the diecut machine.

Third, I cut a mat from White Cardstock and adhered to the back of the peacock image.

Fourth, I glued the peacock image to the card base.

Fifth, I used a scrap of Watercolor Paper, placed onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, placed the journaling box stamp from Simple Sayings Stamps Set, inked with Black Ink and stamped onto the watercolor paper.

I removed the journaling box and placed the “Thinking of You” stamp sentiment onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked with Black Ink and stamped inside of the journaling box image.

Sixth, I fussy cut the image with Scissors and adhered to the bottom corner of the card. I cut three flowers and two leaf sprigs from the Floral Silhouettes Thinlits (only at Scrapbook.com), shaped the flowers with a Stylus and glued two together and adhered one leaf sprig to the back before placing it to the lower corner of the sentiment. The other flower I cut one of the leaves off from the leaf sprig and glued to the back of the flower before adding to upper corner of the sentiment. I glued two gems to the center of each flower to finish.

The Faux Postage Thinlits can take any large graphic image on a piece of cardstock, you know the ones that you really aren’t sure what to do with it, and and turn it into a simple card. Or you can remove a few of the “postage stamps” and replace them for a completely different look. So many possibilities!

Old School Tag

April 25, 2024

Hi everyone! I’m back this week with another tag I created using Eileen Hull’s Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits. Since my wrist has been bothering me this week I wasn’t sure if I would get one made but I powered through and created a quick and easy tag. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I cut two of the largest tags from the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits and glued those back to back since the patterned cardstock was only on one sided.

Second, I added an assortment of scraps of cardstock to the base of the tag and then I dug into my basket of chipboard embellishments and glued the “old school”, “wear and tag” gauge and “splats” to the tag.

Third, I picked this dapper gentleman from the Mini Paper Dolls and adhered him next to the “old school” sentiment and called this side of the tag finished.

Fourth, for this side of the tag I used a scraps of cardstock and a few printables that was leftover from pervious projects. I adhered those to the base of the tag along with a doily shaped acetate overlay from my stash. I also added the “memories” sentiment on top of the overlay.

Fifth, I added a mini paper doll woman to the tag along a couple of Liquid Gloss dots to the flowers to finish this side of the tag.

This tag came together very quickly and will be added to my ring of tags. Also if you haven’t been by Eileen Hull’s blog lately to see what her team has created you can find that post HERE.

Bird House and Feathers Tag

April 19, 2024

Hi everyone! I am back with a quick and easy tag I created using, you guessed it, scraps from my desk. I used the largest tag from Eileen Hull’s Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits as the base for my tag. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I had cut two of the largest tags out from the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits since the cardstock I used wasn’t double sided. I glued both tags back to back and lightly inked around both sides with a light green chalk ink.

Second, I gathered an assortment of scraps of cardstock and adhered to the tag. I used one “postage stamp” from the Snail Mail Thinlits and a button from the Card Case Diecut, these were already in my stash, and I added them to the tag as well.

Third, I fussy cut two feathers, bird house and the floral and feather arrangement from the Farm Sweet Farm Paper Collection.

I adhered the bird house to the tag but the two feathers I shaped with a Stylus and placed Foam Pop Dots to the back of the floral arrangements before placing all to the tag.

Fourth, I applied Liquid Gloss to the floral arrangement and let dry.

Fifth, on the back side of the tag I kept it simple and flat. I gathered more scraps of cardstock, some were negatives of images that I had cut out and I thought that would be pretty cool to add to the tag. I adhered all to the tag.

Sixth, the “I call it enjoying my own company” sentiment I cut from a larger piece of cardstock. I matted with cardstock before gluing to the tag. I picked a woman from the Mini Paper Dolls and added her to the tag to finish.

Have you tried your hand at making tags yet? It’s a great way to use up those scraps or try a new technique on a small format. If you have any questions or comments please leave them in the comment box below.

Family and Flowers Tag

April 11, 2024

Hi everyone! I’m back with another quick and easy tag this week. I used scraps I had laying on my desk and the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits by Eileen Hull and a few other dies by her as well to create this tag. So let’s get started!

First, since the cardstock I used was double sided I only cut one tag from Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits using the largest tag thinlit. I gathered a couple of patterned scraps of cardstock and glued to the front of the tag.

Second, I had cut the envelope, three flowers, center to the flower and the smallest leaf out from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits. I adhered the envelope together before gluing to the tag. I dug into a packet of Mini Paper Dolls and selected a family which I placed inside of the envelope.

Third, I shaped the three flowers, flower center and leaf with a Stylus. I adhered the three flowers on top of each other along with the center and the leaf to the back of the flower before gluing to the corner of the envelope.

Fourth, I dug into my stash of flowers and leaf sprigs that I had already cut out. These are from the Folio Page, Pocket and Flower Thinlits and the Shadow Box Elements Thinlits and I always try and have some extra cut out and on hand to use in projects.

I shaped the flowers and leaf sprigs with a stylus before adding around the layered flower. I finished off this side of the tag by adding Pearls to the center of the flowers, shredded cheese cloth and a bow made out of thread.

Fifth, the back side of the tag I kept simple. I used leftover printables from a tag I shared earlier, you can find that post HERE, and more scraps of cardstock. I glued the layers to the tag and added a fussy cut vine on top of the layers.

Sixth, I had this leftover button diecut that didn’t make it onto a pervious project. I had cut that from the Card Case Diecut. I tied thread through the button holes and adhered to the tag along with sequins. I finished by adding some Liquid Gloss to the leaves on the vine.

I am really excited that I’m building a nice jump ring of tags and can’t wait to create one for next week!

Blooms and Bunny Tag

April 5, 2024

Hi everyone! It’s a new month and a new, quick and easy tag I would like to share with you! I didn’t do step by step photos since I was in the moment of creating. But I used the Waterfall Card and Tag Thinlits and a few other dies by Eileen Hull. So let’s get started!

First, I cut out only one of the largest tags (since the cardstock is double sided) from the Waterfall Card and Tag Thinlits and went through my scrap bag and gathered cardstock and cut parts for the front and back of the tag.

Second, I had a label from the Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits (only at Scrapbook.com) in my stash so I adhered that along with the scraps of cardstock and a cut a part to the tag. I also had a bunny, that never made it into a project, that I had cut out from the Doodle Christmas Thinlits. I lightly inked it was a white chalk ink to give dimension.

Third, I cut two of the larger flowers and the smaller flower from the Shadow Box Elements Thinlits and the leaf sprig, which I used as the “veins” for the leaf from the Folio, Page, Pocket and Flowers Thinlits and the leaf from the Bookmark, Tag and Pocket Thinlits (retired). I shaped all the flowers and the leaf with a Stylus. I glued all the flowers on top of each and added the leaf sprig onto the leaf before placing all onto the tag.

I finished the front of the tag by adding a Pearl to the center of the flower and loops of thread.

Fourth, I adhered more scraps to the back of the tag. The square and circle was from a leftover project that I had cut from the Faux Postage Thinlits.

I turned the circle over since it is white and would make the rose stand out. The rose and “bloom” sentiment are from the Garden Party Collection by Maggie Holmes. As you can see this side of the tag came together quickly.

I have been challenging myself to make at least one tag a week and, so far, I’ve managed to do so for a whole month. YAY! Question…have you completed a challenge where you make something each week? If you haven’t I would like to challenge you to start creating a tag or some type of small project each week. Let me know in the comments below if you have or are planning to.

Happily Ever After Tag

March 26, 2024

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.

Shades of Green Tag

March 21, 2024

Hi everyone! I’m back this week with a quick and easy Saint Patrick’s Day tag I created. I know Saint Patty’s Day is over but I’ve been a little under the weather and I’m now getting around to sharing. My go to thinlit for this project is the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits by Eileen Hull. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I cut out two of the largest tags from the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits since the backs of both cardstocks were white and glued them back to back. I fussy cut all the images out from the free printable that I had downloaded from the Graphic Fairy. It was a free printable that was offered on their instagram page so I’m not sure if it’s still available or not? But you can find other images on their site for free or they have a paid membership option also.

Second, I used two different size circle punches to punch out two of the images but the other images were fussy cut. Before adding all the images to the tag I lightly inked the edges of the tag with a light green chalk ink.

The butterfly I applied adhesive to the center part and bent the wings upwards before placing onto the tag. I used Gold Stickles on the wings of the butterfly and I added Liquid Gloss to the berries of the leaves and branch to finish this side of the tag.

Third, I lightly inked this side of the tag with the light green chalk ink along with a few of the fussy cut images. I layered, distressed and adhered the images to the tag. The image of the woman I added Foam Pop Dots to the back before placing onto the tag.

Fourth, I added gems to the hat and added Liquid Gloss to the center of each flower before calling it finished. I really enjoyed using the printable along with the scraps that I used for the tags. I have leftovers from the printable so I’m sure those images with end up in another project down the road.

If you have any questions or comments about this tag please leave them below.

Lace, Hearts and a Fairy Tag

March 5, 2024

Hi everyone! It’s a new month and I would love to share a tag I created using Eileen Hull’s Lace 3D Embossing Folder and the Faux Postage Thinlits, along with a few other dies, from her newest collection. I absolutely LOVE this embossing folder! It’s 6″x8 1/2″ so you can embossing those journal covers or even extra large cards. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I had a scrap of Mat Board that was leftover from another project. I cut that from the Tag and Book Plates Diecut (retired) and embossed with the Lace 3D Embossing Folder. The mat board was shorter than the actual tag on the diecut, so the measurements wound up being approximately 3 1/4″x5 7/8″.

Second, I lightly inked the raised edges with a combo of two different shades of pink chalk ink. I then rubbed Ivory Luster Wax over the entire tag and once I was happy with the way it looked a lightly hit the raised areas with a tan chalk ink.

Third, I only needed the oval section of the Faux Postage Thinlits and I wanted to highlight the fairy. I cut cardstock larger than the oval area, placed onto the thinlits and run through the Diecut Machine. I know some people like to tear these dies but I used the Scissors to carefully cut out the oval and the excess.

Fourth, I cut two wreaths and leaf sprig from the Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits. I layered the wreaths on top of each other and glued to the tag. I lightly inked the edges of both the oval and negative part of the postage stamp die and adhered to the bottom edge of the wreaths. I placed Foam Pop Dots to the back of the oval before lining up and placing inside of the negative part.

Fifth, I cut two flowers from the Bookmark, Tag and Pocket Thinlits (retired), shaped with a Stylus, glued on top of each other and added a gem to the center. I cut two leaves from the leaf sprig, shaped and placed on the back of the flower. I made a bow with thread and adhered to the edge of the oval along with the flower.

Sixth, I cut the small and medium size hearts from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits, inked with chalk ink and glued both onto the upper corner of the wreath and added a few sequins to finish the tag.

Have you had a chance to look at Eileen Hull’s newest dies, thinlits and embossing folder? If you have which is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below.
