Boo 2 You!!!

Hi there! Sharing another Julie Nutting doll tag today. I actually made this several weeks ago, but am just now getting around to posting it. The actual tag is made from upcycled cardboard. I used acrylic paints to add some details to the front and back. The doll is paper pieced using scraps of old Halloween designer paper. I colored in some shadowing and hair details. Added some flowers, leaves and the sentiment.
Perfect to tie onto a treat bag for your favorite little gal this Halloween!

You Are My Sunshine...

Hello! I made another Julie Nutting doll tag. I love paper piecing stamped images back together. I used the "Dita" doll stamp and some Maggie Holmes paper by American Craft.  The sunshine stamp and sentiment are from Unity Stamp Company. The flowers were in my stash and are probably from Prima too!
I used Prisma pencils to shade after piecing the doll. I think these tags will be perfect to save and hang on a gift bag when the occasion arises.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Collect Beautiful Moments...

Exited to share my first Prima Julie Nutting doll. I created a tag from some cardboard. I paper pieced her skin tones using old papers from a book. The rest of the patterned papers are from Crate Paper's Bloom collection. The pink flower was made using dyed coffee filters. I added Prill beads to the center. Not sure what I will do with this ginormous tag, but it was so much fun to make!

H{ippity} Hop-A Valentine Tag...

Hello!  I have been on a crazy Valentine card making, gift making kick!  Soooooo....I have this felt tag for you today.  The key, sentiment and music background are all from the Music Of My Heart set.  I used a die from PTI for the background shape and also for the banner.  I sponged all of my papers with distress inks.  I used a Sakura gel pen to color in my key, and I must say, I LOVE how it turned out.  Super sparkly!  I bought the felt heart tags years ago at Hobby Lobby.  They have been sitting on a shelf collecting dust until recently.  I guess I was inspired to make a tag since I have been salivating over Tim Holtz 12 tags of Christmas!

I hope you have a fun hippity hop!  Thanks for stopping by!

Vintage Tag...

Ink:  Distress inks in old paper and walnut stain

Paper:  Melissa Francis Kitschy Kitchen (blue covering tag)

Accessories:  Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps-Altered Fairies; Creative Tags by paper reflections; jump rings; beads;Rock Candy stickles (on stars); ribbon; star punch

I love making tags to go on the outside of gift bags.  I think a vintage looking tag looks great hanging down from the handles of a kraft bag.  Paper Maniac has everything you need to get started, if you would like to try some tags.  Tags are inexpensive to make, and lots of fun!  I love the Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps line.  They have so many cool vintage images that are easy to cut out and glue down on your altered projects.  I started out covering my tag with some DP from Melissa Francis.  I inked the edges with my distress inks, and then added my cut out images.  I punched some little stars to go along with my moon, and added some stickles.  

At the bottom of my tag, I punched some holes and then looped my jump rings through.  I then added a crystal bead to each ring.  You can tie some ribbon or twine at the top of your tag.  I used hand dyed seam binding and crochet thread.

I hope I have inspired you to try making some tags!  Thanks for stopping by!

So Tweet Tag!

I am tidying and re-organizing my craft studio, and have found all kinds of cards and projects that haven't made it to my blog!  Here is a little tag I made while scrapping with some neighbors a few weeks ago.  I cut out the birdhouse from some Jillibean Soup DP.  The letters are Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type.  The stick pin is Jenni Bowlin and the stamp is from Scrollworks.  The ribbon is from my stash!

Thanks for stopping by!
