A tag for a cookie jar

 

Hi There! I am making a few tags to add to my jars of cookies that I will be making nearer Christmas, so thought I would do a step by step 

I began by blending distress oxide ink in Lumberjack Plaid and Wild Honey on to a large tag.

Next I also blended a little Rustic Wilderness and also added a little water and splattered it on to the tag before setting aside to dry.

On a piece of dark green card, I stamped and heat embossed the Doodle Art Christmas tree before cutting it out.

Using white ink and a tag inkable I added some stencilling. 

I also stamped a few patches of script  using Rustic Wilderness ink. 

On a separate piece of card I stamped the sentiment and embossed in gold before matting and layering onto a scrap of the dark green card.

Finally I added the tree and the sentiment to the background along with a ribbon.

I used:

a Size 10 tag

Distress oxide inks in Lumberjack Plaid. Wild Honey and Rustic Wilderness

Doodle Art Christmas tree stamp set

Mixed Messages - Christmas stamp set

Script background stamp

Fine detail Gold embossing powder

White ink

Tag inkables set 4

Versamark embossing ink

Bee-lieve Textured tag

 

                                       

Hi There! I am here to share a step by step for this textured tag.

I began by using the tag dies to cut a mixed media card tag and a kraft backing piece for it.

I used one of the latest dinkables to apply crackle paste to the tag and left to dry. 

Next I sprayed the tag with distress oxide sprays in carved pumpkin and peacock feathers. I also dripped a little peacock feathers onto the textured surface and splattered with water and left to dry.

Using walnut stain Distress oxide I stamped the border down the two edges.

On a separate piece of card I stamped the Bees in Black Versafine Clair ink.

I cut them out and coloured the bees with coloured pencils. 

I also stamped and cut out the Bee-lieve sentiment.

Using matte medium I assembled it all.

Here is the finished tag again.

I used:

A little rain tag and a sneaky peek

 

I'm here with a super quick tag and a sneaky peek today for my step by step

I began by adding some spots of dylusions shimmer paints to the top of a #10 tag and spraying it with water whilst tilted to make it dribble down.

I used the number dinkable to add some detail using black soot distress oxide ink. I also sponged a little around the edge of the tag too. 

I stamped the smaller dandedaisy on to mixed media card with versafine clair ink and used ecoline brush pens to colour it in. 

I attached the flower to the bottom of the tag and then added the sentiment from the walk your own way sheet using matte medium. 

Here is the finished tag with an orange ribbon added

I used:

Dylusions shimmer paints in Crushed Grape, London Blue, Fresh Lime and Pure Sunshine

Hot colours tag

 

Hi there! Thought I would use hot colours for my blog post today...well, my uncharted mariner arrived so a teeny bit of that crept in too 😁

I began by spraying a tag with Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey Distress Oxide sprays.

When this was dry I placed the Fernando Big one over the top and sprayed Festive Berries Distress Oxide spray over it. 

I used the little brickwork D'inkable to add a little Uncharted Mariner, adding a bit more around the edge of the tag with a sponge. 

I stamped a few Doodle Art mandalas onto the background in Picked Raspberry Distress oxide. 

on a piece of watercolour paper I stamped Bev with Versafine Clair black ink.

I used ecolines to colour her then cut her out.

I stuck her to the background using ultra thick gel medium and added a sentiment from the Bigger back chat set two stickers. 

Here is the finished tag with a ribbon added.

Size 10 Dina Wakely tag

A Vintage tag

 Hi there! I have made another tag this week, and this time I have gone for a vintage vibe. Here is how I made it.

I began with a Dina Wakely size 10 mixed media tag. (I cut 2 cm from the bottom as I intend adding it to a journal page later.) 

I used a blending brush to apply distress oxide inks over the whole tag.

I splattered water and sprayed a little Distress oxide spray in wild honey across the tag. 

When it was dry I used the metalwork alpha 6x6 inkable to add the numbers top and bottom.

I stamped the dotty borders around the tag, 

then added the smaller stamp from the ledger measure down the left side.

I stamped the pocket watch stamp (no longer available, but there is a pocket watch a little smaller that you could stamp then cut out on the other Ledger measure stamp) onto a book page using versafine clair pinecone ink . I blended a little distress oxide ink on it to age it and cut it out. 

Using collage medium, I stuck it to the tag and left it to dry.

I stamped the Time sentiment in versafine clair ink onto a scrap of Dina Wakely collage paper and cut it out. 

I worked out where I wanted to place each part of the sentiment before sticking it down with more collage medium. 

Here is the finished tag with a gold mat and some lace and twine added.

This is what I used:

Dina Wakely Tags size 10

Distress oxide inks in Antique linen, Tea dye, Vintage photo and Walnut stain.

Distress oxide ink spray in Wild Honey

Metalwork Alpha inkable

Texture borders stamp set

Ledger Measure stamp set

Pocketwatch stamp

Time sentiment stamp
