The mega tag swap that I was involved in had a TON of flakers! So, in the spirit of giving I decided to angel 5 of the missing spots. I love making tags!!!! Here are 3 (33 altogether) that I made today!
The Dog Tag is very similar to a 3×3 card that I make for my Etsy shop. I used CTMH Caprice background paper and parchment cardstock. The main image is a catslife press stamp in CTMH chocolate ink. It is offset by a CTMH Stickease (which is just a fancy sticker). The chocolate ribbon is CTMH and the charm is created by using a safety pin and a dog tag charm from the LSS (Local Scrapbooking Store).
The baby girl one was kept simple. I used CTMH colonial white and sweat pea background paper. The main image is a Bella, from stampingbella.com, and is stamped in CTMH hollyhock ink. I used my coluzzle to cut the oval and then punched two large holes on each side with my crop-a-dial. I ran the ribbon under the image and then strung through the left hole and tied a bow. I saw this technique on Split Coast Stampers and had to try it on for size!
The baby one is upcycled from some babyshower invites that never quite made in the mail (sorry Noemi, life got crazy). I’ve never flaked on anything like that before, so I had to use them somehow! I used CTMH dutch blue and whisper white cardstocks. I made my own background paper using the Ritzy Ribbon stamp set in buttercup, sweetleaf and dutch blue inks. The onesie is made by cutting a rectangular shape then making cuts for the sleeves and using a circle punch for the leg holes. For the crumpled effect, I sprayed it with water and then crumpled it into a ball several times. I then laid it flat to dry. Then I sanded the blue background and with the fibers that were sanded off, I dipped my fingers in them and used it to distress the folds of the onesie. The onesie in then finished of with three small brads. The word “baby” is from the CTMH solo “B” set.
What folks have to say…
