Scrapbook tag

Hello my dear friends, it seems to me everytime I'm trying to clean up my studio I find things to create with,lol.Here is a fabric collage I just finished.Needless to say that my studio is still a mess and in need of a major clean up. A few days ago my dear friend Julia from Vintage with Laces surprised me with this gorgeous lace heart. I'm sure you all know Julia but if you never visited this talented gal go on over and have a look at all her beautiful creations. Julia also included this…

Hello, Friends! Happy Saturday! It's Kathy here with this week's Saturday Showcase. Today I'm sharing a tutorial for this Stamperia Alice Mixed Media Etcetera Tag. While this is not a complete step out tutorial, I do have several great techniques, tips and ideas that I think you will enjoy. I decided to let my Girly Grunge side and my Shabby Chic side throw a Mixed Media Party for this Saturday Showcase. It's fun to experiment with new product, try new techniques and make a mess! I began by…

kind of like the Saturday Evening post... but on Thursday... anyway... happy holidays!!! I LOVE to shop... Rick teases me that if shopping was an olympic event, I'd be on the center podium... so it kills me... but sometimes you have to just give cash... but here's a quick unique way to make it a little more special... the first one takes a few minutes to figure out... but when you have a sample, it's quick to zip more out... the 2nd & 3rd take less than 15 minutes to complete... TRUST ME…

Hello friends, Tim and I were having a conversation this week about an often asked question he gets, "what do I do with the tags I make?" So I guess that was still in my mind when I decided to make a tag book, since really any background will work for this project. Follow along and I'll show you all the layers. I chose five #8 Distress Heavystock Tags for the book but you could use as many as you like. The Heavystock tags are made for holding up under multiple wet mediums. They are by far my…

Happy Friday my friends, the weather has been absolutely frightful here, heavy rain and strong winds so I retreated to my happy place for a ...

So here we are on the back half of the "12 Tags of Fall", and I am feeling a bit sad to be this close to the end. :( Hmmmmm.....I may need to do some Christmas tags for December, no?...

With the start of our new Paper Creations YouTube channel, we've decided to begin with a quick and easy tutorial on how to make some really pretty journal tags. It's a great scrap buster project since you will be using up some of your strips of paper from your stash. I went with pink and grey papers and most came from a Kaisercraft designer paper pad called Peekaboo - Girl. I doubt they sell it anymore since we have had it in the stash for ages. Products used in this tutorial Art Glitter…

That Tim Holtz and his Alterations dies! We got in a few of his new ones last week at Urban Scrapbook and I couldn't wait to try out his "Autumn Gatherings" one. I think this one is going to be used a lot! All those little leaves are perfect for flowers or altogether as I used them on this tag: I first stamped my manilla tag with his Book Cover stamp(the large one) with clear ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. This acts like a relief and then you just ink all over the tag…

Do you like gift tags? I love them. Big or small, simple or elaborately even overly decorated… Actually there is no such thing as an “overly decorated gift tag”. It is amazing how, in so little space, you can create and say so many “words”. The best thing with gift tags is that you can use even the smallest pieces of paper in your craft collection. I started doing exactly this in the process of creating my huge paper… um… carefully chosen selection of lovely, beautiful pieces, which I didn’t…
