TAG CONCERTINA MINI

Hi, Jacky here. Time for another share.

This share is made using the "Art Tag" cut and create which comes with 5 sets of tags in different colour stories, you also get 2 different types of labels. It's such a versatile kit, especially for a tag lover like me!

I made a tag mini using 4 tags from the brown colour story. I'm a bit of a vintage girl so they are perfect for this project.


I've backed the tags on to some card stock leaving a tiny gap between each tag. I was then able to score in the gaps and fold into a concertina.  On the back side of the mini I've sewn in some pages, these pages are cut slightly smaller than 2 tags laid side by side, but folded down the middle not cut.




Next the fun bit... decorate!



For the decorating I've used some images from the"Spring Flower" cut and create and Meg's "German Glass Glitter" in black.  OMG! for the glitter lover this stuff is amazing!

Anyways, I hope I've given you a little inspiration using some of Meg's beautiful products. 

'til next time, Happy Crafting!

BOOK IN A BOX

Hi Everyone. It's Jacky here,

I've been busy again, inspired by some of the lovely metal hardware Meg has in her store. This project is a mini book, just big enough to be stored in an up-cycled box.


The box has been covered with some tea-dyed paper, lightly stamped and embellished with "German Glass Glitter" in Cameo...such beautiful Glitter! and I've used one of Meg's "metal handles" on the lid of the box.


 The cover of the book has some more "German glass glitter" and to protect the book corners these "Metal corners" are ideal.


The book has 5 signatures and 2 pocket pages to hold tags and tiny concertina albums.





Throughout the project I've also used "Spring Flowers" Cut and Create digital...I just love this book-in-a-box with the metal hardware and the German glass glitter. 

'til next time Happy Crafting!

TAGS and POCKETS

Hi everyone,

I've been making some more tags with the ART TAG download. This time I gave some pocket tags ago.


With these tags I've just added a pocket to the lower section of the tag. I've also cut down some of the tags to make smaller tags that fit inside the pockets. The labels have been set with an eyelet and threaded on ribbon and tied with a bow....Don't those labels make the best dangles!   



To finish the tags off I've just attached them to some kraft cardstock and trimmed.


Till next time HAPPY CRAFTING

Pretty tags .... same but different

Oh, I'm loving these ART TAGS!

For these tags, I've not only used the tags, but also the labels that came with the ART TAG download. I've used the same design for both tags and simply changed it up a bit by layering different papers, laces, and embellishment between the two tags. It's what I call easy crafting.






Till next time HAPPY CRAFTING

TAG BOOK

Hi everyone,

I’ve been having a play around with the new “ART TAG” download. As a junk journaler, I love tags. They are so versatile, they can be decorated just be pretty or they can be very practical and be used for journaling. For this blogger post, I've done a bit of both...a TAG BOOK...



I’ve used two of the tags to make the tag book

I’ve attached the two tags to a piece of cardstock leaving a gap in between the tags so I could fold the cardstock along the gap, this the made the cover of tag book. I was then able to sew in some pages into the fold. Then I added an eyelet, a string closure and decorated. The tag book could easily slip into a pocket for extra journaling space or be a stand-alone mini book for journaling and photos.









Till next time HAPPY CRAFTING
