Yesterday Angie tossed out an "make it for the boys" challenge and I want to make more tags, so that was not a hard thing in my head. I already had this Tim Holtz Stamptember set ( from 2023 ) on the table and I had stamped a few of the images on some Neenah Environmental cover sheet to color.
This first one, I stamped those words and images on a piece I had used the stamptember ( or July) I forget tag dies that came with one of the classes. ( I think it was this year's stamptember) and I used some of the watercolor pencils ( TH ) on the mittens, used a damp brush to drag the color around a bit more and then used some stickles glitter glue over the paint when it dried. The snowflakes are really bulky and I am finding I have a huge stash of bulky things I like and want to play with but, they are not finding there way onto cards much anymore because, paying package freight for a card is not fun. And I figure tags are OK because, you are either hand delivering the gift or the gift is going in a box to mail. So I have noticed mine (Tags) are getting lumpier and Lumpier. This was an angled shot on the table. The way the tag with the snowflake button dangles is something I have seen Anna Wight & Jill Norwood do and it catches my eye but, I usually tie things closer to the hole so this was a lets see if I like it experiment. It's not too bad. I may do some more like this.
The Sweater tag is not really that green in real life but, it is pretty bright-ish. I shot these before the sun came up under the studio lights. The sweater I cut out by hand and put it on some foam pop dots. That sweater sentiment is from the Colorado Craft Co. Sweater weather set and it has a matching die. The edges of everything on that tag were inked with some DOX scorched timber. The tiny little hex tag sentiments are from lili of the Valley. It's my understanding that they no longer do actual stamps but, do have these as digital print them your self items in their etsy shop.
A few more that have not gotten photographed yet and how the mess kind of looks on the table at the moment. I have been you know cutting up scraps all year long so those little envelopes in the big container across the table are holding tag die cuts ( paper ones are backed with cardstock) stamped images or sentiments or what not. Most of its within reach and ha, the remains of the July & Stamptember 3-D project pieces are still in a container waiting for me to get around to them as well. I am hoping to get a lot more tags finished this weekend. I hope you're doing well too. Thanks for stopping by.
