Tag Happy

Today, I have not one but two projects to share.  It is no secret that my most favorite craft project is a homemade tag.  Just love to make them!


First up is a tag layered with leftover scraps of paper from Prima's Anna Marie collection.  The flowers, I believe, are Prima as is the pearl/rhinestone swirl and the circle of crystal around the tiny rose in the upper right corner.  The butterfly charm is from Michaels.  I added some accents around the tag with Liquid Pearls and finished it off with a pink twill ribbon.


I love the papers in the 6x6 Anna Marie paper pad.  I'm finding myself drawn to them lately.  However, the next tag is completely different.


For this tag, I decided to get a little messy.  Using two shades of Tim Holtz' Distress Inks (salty ocean and squeezed lemonade) spritzed with water, I took a white tag and dragged it through the inks.  It created the prettiest color combination.  I did a bit of stamping with a Prima stamp.  I then took a Tim Holtz graduated circle stencil and created a nice layer with some Liquitex modeling paste.  A piece of wide lace was put on top of that.  The flowers are Prima.  See that pretty vine diecut?  That is from Cherry Lynn and I just love it!  The cluster of flowers was finished off with a vintage button and a rose from Recollections.  The butterfly was made with a Martha Stewart punch and coated with Recollections glitter.


Well, I guess that was a bit of a lengthy post from me; but I hope you like the tags.  It's a beautiful Memorial Day weekend here in this part of the country.  We're getting ready to go to a family barbecue but are keeping in mind those who gave their lives for this country.  Have a wonderful weekend.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  5. Patty these are so cute! I know you used Prima, but the second tag reminds me of the romantic colors Melissa Frances uses, the blues and pinks...I absolutely love those colors together. However the whimsical tag is so cute and fun, I am not sure which one I like better! I love them both!
