Bird Tag Pocket

For today's post, I've created this Bird Tag Pocket for inside of your junk journal. To create this pocket, I've used stamps and dies from the Art Journal Special Collection. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my tag pocket at home. 

Choose a piece of patterned paper out of the Mystical Winter Paper Pack. Die cut the pocket from the Florals of Winter die out of the patterned paper. Die cut the branch from the same die out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Ink the edges of the pocket using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. Using a waterbrush and the Watercolour Palette, colour the branch.

Choose another piece of patterned paper from the Mystical Winter Paper Pack. Die cut the leaf from the Snowy Wishes die out of the patterned paper. Die cut each of the small snowflakes once out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Ink the edges of the leaf using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the bird from the Bird Song Stamp Set and stamp onto a piece of Watercolour Cardstock. Using a waterbrush and the Watercolour Palette, colour the bird in. Once the bird has dried, fussy cut it out. Ink the edges of the bird using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the pocket to the left hand side of one of the pages in your junk journal.

Adhere the branch and leaf as desired on the pocket.

Adhere the two snowflakes in amongst the branch and leaf as desired.

Foam square the bird overtop of the branches and leaf on the pocket. To finish the pocket, slide in one of your tags.

For today's post, I've created this Christmas Wishes Junk Journal Page perfect to add into your junk journal. To create this page, I've used stamps, dies and stencils from the Art Journal Special Collection. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my junk journal page at home. 

To start, choose a piece of patterned paper out of the Mystical Winter Paper Pack. Die cut the page from the Decorative Insert die out of the patterned paper. Choose one of the stencils out of the Pattern Stencil Pack. Place the stencil on the right hand side of the page and put Texture Paste Opaque Matte through the stencil with a palette knife. Move the stencil to the left hand side of the page and put Texture Paste Opaque Matte through the stencil with a palette knife. Move the stencil to the top of the page and put Texture Paste Opaque Matte through the stencil with a palette knife. 

Once the texture paste has dried, apply Emboss It Ink to the circle stamp from the Frosty Patterns stamp set and stamp as desired on the right hand side of the page. I place mine in amongst the stenciled area. Sprinkle Arctic Daybreak Embossing Powder over the stamped image. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Reapply Emboss It Ink to the circle stamp and stamp as desired on the left hand side of the page. I place mine in amongst the stenciled area.

Die cut the two note pieces out of the patterned paper. Ink the edges of the note pieces using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Snowy Windows Die, die cut the large snowflake, one of the small snowflakes once and the other small snowflake twice out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.

Die cut the small house from the Winter Home Pocket die out of a piece of watercolour cardstock. Using a waterbrush and the Watercolour Palette, colour the house. Once the house has dried, ink the edges of the house using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Winter Home Pocket die, die cut the hearts out of watercolour cardstock. From the Snowy Wishes die, die cut the two trees out of watercolour cardstock. Using a waterbrush and the Watercolour Palette, colour the hearts and trees. Once the hearts and trees have dried, ink the edges using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the girl stamp from the Cute Winter Couple Stamp Set and stamp onto a piece of watercolour cardstock. Using a waterbrush and the Watercolour Palette, colour the girl in. Once the girl has dried, fussy cut her out.  Ink the edges of the girl using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Apply Emboss It Ink to the Christmas word from the Snow stamp set and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Sprinkle Brazen Belle Embossing Powder over the stamped word.

Ink the edges of both word strips using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Cut two pieces of cheesecloth.

Adhere one of the note pieces 1 1/2" from the left on the left page. Staple one of the cheesecloth pieces as desired on the left hand page. I had my cheesecloth lay partially on the note piece.

Adhere the large snowflake overtop of the cheesecloth as desired. Foam square the girl and adhere her overtop of the large snowflake and partially over the note piece. Adhere the hearts above her heard as desired.

Adhere the other note piece 1/2" from the right on the right hand page. Staple the cheesecloth piece overtop of the note piece.

Staple the two trees as desired on the cheesecloth. Foam square the house to the bottom portion of the trees as desired.

Foam square the small snowflakes above the trees. To finish the page, use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the Christmas Wishes word strip to the left of the house and trees.

Warm Hugs Gift Tag

Happy Saturday!

Christmas is only 5 days away and I'm starting to get my Christmas presents wrapped. For today's project I've created this quick and easy Warm Hugs Gift Tag perfect for adding to your gifts. To create my gift tag, I've used a variety of dies from the Paper Flower Collection and stamps from Sue Smith. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my gift tag at home. 

To start, you'll need to die cut the large tag from the Planner Essentials - 2 die out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.

From the Strawberries die, die cut the two swirls twice out of a gold coloured cardstock. 

The next two steps use the Stamen Flowers Die. 

Die cut the two swirls once out of a gold coloured cardstock.

Die cut all the flowers twice out of a piece of red cardstock. Die cut all of the the flowers once out of a piece of green cardstock. Die cut the flower centres once out of a piece of gold coloured cardstock. You'll only need three centres.

From the Hugs stamp set, you'll need the Warm Hugs stamp. Apply Emboss It Ink to the stamp and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Sprinkle Kells Gold Modern Gilding Powders over the stamped sentiment. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Once the embossed words have cooled, fussy cut around the hugs word and cut the warm word into a strip.

Choose one of the reinforcements from the Reinforcement Variety Pack. Die cut one reinforcement out of green cardstock.

Adhere the reinforcement to the hole at the top of the tag.

Adhere one of each of the different sized flowers together of the same colour. Repeat the previous step for the other two flowers. Adhere a centre to each of the flowers. Shape each flower as desired.

Adhere the swirls as desired to the left hand tag.

Use foam squares to adhere the green flower to the middle of the left hand side of the tag. Adhere one of the red flowers to the top and bottom of the green flower.

Use foam squares to adhere the Warm Hugs words to the left of the flowers as desired on the tag. To finish the tag, tie a piece of twine through the hole at the top of the tag.

Here are a few closeup photos of the finished gift tag.
