To & From Tags

Yesterday I was up on Graphic 45's blog sharing with you my To & From Tags which feature the Winter Wonderland collection along with the ATC To & From tags from the Staples Collection. I have a few photos on my blog for you, but if you haven't stopped by Graphic 45's blog yet, make sure you do so that you can check out the rest of the photos of my project as well as Magda's fabulous project.

I used the To & From Ivory Artist Trading Tags from the Staples Collection and embellished the tags using border pieces, patterned paper and fussy cut images.

Tip: Add borders and smaller fussy cut images to embellish the die cut word tags.

You're So Sweet Tag

 I've been busy this weekend playing with the fun Apron and Kitchen Tool Dies from Joset Designs. While playing with the Apron and Kitchen Tool dies, I created this fabulous tag which features some of the patterned paper from ModaScrap as well as some dies from Els van de Burgt Studio. I have a tutorial below for you so that you can recreate my fabulous You're So Sweet Tag at home. 

To start, pull out a #8 Manilla Tag. Trace the Manilla Tag on the back of a patterned piece of paper from the Sweet Vintage Rose patterned paper pack. Cut the tag out. Ink the edges of the patterned paper tag using Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam. 

With the patterned paper tag traced and cut out, ink the edges of the patterned paper tag using Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam. 

Cut a piece of patterned paper from the Sweet Vintage Rose patterned paper pack that measures 3" x 5 1/4". Ink the edges of the patterned paper piece using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. 

Die cut the 2 5/8" Dotted Scallop Oval out of patterned paper from the Sweet Vintage Rose patterned paper pack. Ink the edges of the oval using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. 

Die cut two Kitchen Tools out of the backside of the fly sheet from the Sweet Vintage Rose paper pack. Die cut the same two tools out of patterned paper from the Sweet Vintage Rose patterned paper pack. Cut the handle off on each patterned paper tool. Adhere the patterned paper handles to each of the cream coloured tools. Ink the edges of the kitchen tools using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.  

Die cut the apron out of a variety of patterned paper pieces from the Sweet Vintage Rose patterned paper pack. Ink the edges of all the apron pieces using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. 

Adhere all of the apron decorative pieces to the apron. When adhering the pocket, leave the top portion of the pocket unadhered and adhere the pocket to the front of the apron. Slide and adhere the kitchen tools in the pocket. 

Adhere the patterned paper tag to the manilla tag. Adhere the rectangle patterned paper piece to the patterned paper tag.

Foam square the Dotted Scallop Oval 1/2" from the top of the rectangle patterned paper piece. Once the oval has been adhered, apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the You're So Sweet Sentiment stamp. Stamp the sentiment underneath the oval.

Foam square the apron to the middle of the Dotted Scallop Oval.

To finish your tag, add a piece of ribbon at the top of your tag.

Thanks for joining me today! I hope that I've inspired you to re-create my You're So Sweet Tag at home.

Season's Greetings Envelope

All this week, Graphic 45 is sharing their 3 new collections along with a new Deluxe Collectors Edition. I was lucky enough to receive the new Winter Wonderland collection to play with, so today I'm up on Graphic 45's blog sharing with you my Season's Greetings Envelope which features the new Winter Wonderland collection and a regular policy envelope. I have a few photos on my blog for you, but if you haven't stopped by Graphic 45's blog yet, make sure you do go and check out the rest of the photos of my project as well as Sandy's beautiful project.

I'm totally in love with the Winter Wonderland Collection and I can't seem to stop creating with it! With adding fussy cut images and patterned paper to the front of a regular policy envelope, I was able to transform it into a beautiful piece that could be given to someone at Christmas, or you could keep it and add it to your Christmas decorations. There are so many different possibilities when creating with this beautiful collection.
