Thank You Tag

 

Happy Friday!

 

Today I am here to share with you another Tag I made. 

 

For this tag I used one of my Manila Tags that I stained with "Tea" to make it vintage looking.  I then used an embellishment pack from a K & Company Tim Coffey Line and pulled out this one piece that was pretty big and cut it down to use it as Pattern Paper.  I ruffed up the edges with scissors and then inked around the edges with some distress ink.  With my sewing machine, I sewed around the edges of the pattern paper. 

 

From the same embellishment pack, I pulled out the lady bugs & the flower and adhered those to the tag.  I used a stamp from Inkadinkado stamp to stamp the "Thank You".  I cut out the thank you with scissors and cut fish tails out of each end.  With my brown distress ink, I inked the edges of the "Thank You". 

 

This tag will be cute on a gift for a special friend or anyone.  

 

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

You're a Hoot

Hey there Friends,

 

I'm back again today to share with you a Tag I made using the K & Company "Handmade" collection. 

 

The Tag Base:

I cut out a tag with Craft Cardstock with my paper cutter.  Took the pattern paper from the K & Company "Handmade" collection and cut it out to fit the tag using my paper cutter & scissors to cut the angles.  On each side of the pattern paper is a strip of ribbon tucked under the paper onto the craft cardstock.  (the ribbon is from my personal stash)

 

The Embellishments:

I used the owls from the embellishment pack and used pop dots to add dimension to the tag.  I printed out "You're a Hoot" from my computer onto white cardstock.  I cut out with my scissors and inked around the edges with brown ink.  With a hole punch, I punched out a hole and laced some Shabby Chic Crinkled ribbon through the hole.  I made the ribbon long enough to tie onto a bag or present. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  :)

Seam Binding, Ideas & a Give-A-Way!!

Hi Everyone!

I want to share with you something I have been working on for quite a while now.  I have this fascination for all things vintage and shabby.  I have had this in my home office for, well...  Lets just say A WHILE.  :)  (even-though it has been longer than just "a while". lol)  When I say "This" i mean Seam Binding Ribbon and Tea Stained Tags/Ribbon.  I love love it.  Seam binding is perfect for adding onto a tag, a gift package, a card, a scrapbook page or even an altered art project.

Be sure to check all the way below as I have some projects posted using some of the seam binding.   

Here are a few items I have in my Etsy Shop.

 I tea stained these little guys myself and let them sit overnight to dry.  I really love the tags and the ribbon.  They came out beautiful! I think these are my favorite in the whole shop.  The above bundle comes with the following for $4.99.

• (4) Large Tags 2 3/8" wide x 4 7/8" Tall
• (4) Medium Tags 1 3/8" wide x 2 1/2" Tall
• (5) Extra Small Tags 3/4" wide x 1" Tall
• (1) Tea Stained Seam Binding Ribbon little over 1 yard.

The above Shabby Chic~Tea Stained Seam Binding ribbon comes in 10 yards for $4.99.  

 Next up is my Seam binding Ribbon.  These are all made by me and my dear friend who helped when I had to go to work.  :)  (Thank you B)

 These bundled Seam Binding ribbon are 5 yards of each 3 colors~Totaling 15 Yards~ All for $4.99 each That's only $.33 a yard.

 Check out that colors above.  I love the Purple, Orange and Green for Halloween.  So Much Fun!  It actually is a deep purple, like an Eggplant color.  (I am not sure why it shows up blue) (I took many pictures and it still looks blue to me.)

 The above is the Spring & Summer collection.  The Brightness of the Pink, Yellow and Lilac.  So Beautiful!

And this one.  Oh my.  Think of all the Christmas Projects you can do with this.  The 2 colors are 5 Yards each.  Totally up to 10 Yards for ONLY $3.50.

We have a give-a-way going on right now.  Head on over to Jill Cornell's blog "Blessed Scrapper" and check out some beautiful projects she made with my ribbon.  :)  Don't forget to leave a comment because one lucky winner will receive a $15 Gift Certificate to MY SHOP.

Here are some projects I have made in the past that use Shabby Chic Seam Binding Ribbon.  These have been posted on here at one time or another.  :)  I hope that this gives you some ideas on how to use the seam binding in your projects.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
