Christmas Gift Tags with Digital Images

 I love the Blank Page Muse digital Christmas Papers.  For those who like to give your gift wrapping a personal touch handmade gift tags are perfect. They can be used to decorate packages or gift bags. I like to have them made ahead of time, so they are ready to attach as I am gift wrapping.  Today I have eleven tags made with the Frosty Night Christmas Printable Papers and the Vintage Gingerbread Christmas Printable Papers.

Supplies from Blank Page Muse:

Frosty Night Christmas Printable Papers
Vintage Gingerbread Christmas Printable Papers (Candy Cane Paper)
Fancy Flourish Stencil

Other supplies
Ribbons
Lace
Gems

Any other embellishments on hand 
Astro Paste Tropical Tango
TCW Butter Paste Champagne Gold
Spatula
Wide tip Gold Sharpie
Crop-o-dile
Corner Chomper

I gathered items to use on my tags, ribbons, lace, gems, and paste that coordinated with the papers.

I first cut the papers the size of tags I desired, as you will see none of the tags are the same size.  The smaller tags were part of the paper collection and in the shape of a tag. The others are all pieces of the digital papers cut to size. I used the Corner Chomper to round the edges at the top of the tag and the Crop-o-dile to punch a hole in each tag.

Next using the Fancy Flourish Stencil add paste to the tags.  I use the Astro Paste Tropical Tango and TCW Butter Paste Champagne Gold. They complimented the paper beautifully. Let the paste dry. Once the paste was dry, I edged the tags that had the gold paste with a wide tip gold sharpie.

Once the paste was dry, I pulled out my lace trimmings and added a bit to the bottom of some of the tags. I had some die cut glitter foam from a previous project that they were perfect for the tags. 

Finally add ribbons to the tags!  

HERE ARE THE FINISHED TAGS!!!

Vintage Gingerbread Christmas Printable Papers, these have lace and red gems on them. 

 The remaining tags were made using the Frosty Night Christmas Printable Papers. The tags above are part of the fussy cut page, each tag has TCW Butter Paste Champagne Gold, with different die cut glitter foam embellishment and gems. The were edged with a wide tip gold Sharpie.

The tags above have Astro Paste Tropical Tango, with different die cut glitter foam embellishment and gems.

I layered a couple of the papers to make this tag, edged it with the wide tip gold Sharpie and added a bit of trim at the bottom and added a few flat back pearls.

The tags above have Astro Paste Tropical Tango. The tag on the left has fussy cut flowers, gems and lace. The tag on the right. Has the paste and gems.

Hope you are inspired to make your own tags this year.

Fall Harvest Sunflowers

I love sunflowers, the FALLHARVEST Junk Journal Papercrafts Digital Papers are full of sunflowers and pumpkins!  This collection of digital papers are beautiful Fall colors.  Great for card making and scrapbooking. To create the card today the images were resized digitally a couple of times.

Blank Page Muse Digi Paper and Stamps Used:
Digital Download Print at Home FALL HARVEST Junk Journal Papercrafts Paper Pack

Leaves Collage reusable plastic Stencil for handmade cardsand Journal pages BPMstLv

 

Other supplies
Tim Holtz Distress Gathered Twigs ink
Blending brush
Lunar Paste Refined Copper
Spatula
Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray Gathered Twigs
Cosmic Shimmer Airless Spray Meadow Moss
Master Board made with scrap paper on Watercolor paper
Thanks Die
Sunflower leaf die
Gems
Paper lace sticker

Create a master board. Use watercolor paper or other mixed media paper for the base.  Glue scraps of paper to the base.  Be sure all edges are secure. Then spray with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray Gathered Twigs and Cosmic Shimmer Airless Spray Meadow Moss. 

When the spray is dry stencil with the Leaves Collage from Blank Page Muse. The stenciling is done with Lunar Paste Refined Copper on the master board.

I got out a couple of dies and my mini scout die cutting machine.  

Die cut Thanks! The thanks was cut from one of the digital pumpkins, then layered on a brown cardstock shadow.

I die cut leaf and from a couple of the tags from the digital collection. 

Fussy cut images you decide to use. I like to cut too many pieces than not enough for a card then I have choices. Once I start fussy cutting I cannot stop.

After all the images are fussy cut, distress with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray Gathered Twigs, then you are ready to adhere images.   Even embellish the inside of the card too.

A fussy cut large sunflower and pumpkin with a couple of die cut leaves are inside this card.

On the front of the card there is a fussy cut tag at the bottom of the card. At the bottom of the card I added a strip of adhesive paper lace.  A dress was adhered with dimensional foam. The dress is surrounded by a couple of pumpkins, three different sizes of sunflowers, and a die cut leaf. Then the thanks was added to the front of the dress. 

Finally, a few gems were randomly glued for a little bling!

Hope you enjoyed this card.

Happy Halloween

Do you decorate for Halloween? I love Halloween. October has to be one of my favorite months of the year!  Today I took several of the tags from the Creepy Cute Halloween Digital Papers Printables and made them into a card that could also be Halloween decor. The accordion of tags will fold flat for mailing; it may need additional postage. 

This project is a combination of Blank Page Muse Creepy Cute Halloween digital papers, a few Halloween Stamps and some dies from my stash. 

CreepyCute Halloween Digital Papers Printables 

 

Halloween Takes Flight Rubber Stamp Set

Creepy Cute Halloween Digital Papers Printables Papers

Stamps from the Halloween Takes Flight Rubber Stamp Set

• “U say I’m a witch like it is a BAD thing”

Other Supplies

Black ink
Acrylic block

Wide tip black Sharpie or Acrylic marker
Black Cardstock
Yellow cardstock and circle punch
Random Halloween Dies

• Happy Halloween
• Spooky tree
• Graveyard
• Bats
• Spider Web & spider

Ribbon – orange and black
Stapler

 

First stamp the sentiments and images you want to use on the tags with black ink. Fussy cut the number of tags desired for the project. The tags above do not have any of the dies added. The tags below have Halloween dies added to them.

Add random Halloween dies to the tags to add dimension. Off the top of the tag with the flying witch add a yellow moon. This made the two center tags about the same height.

Edge the tags and sentiments with a Wide tip black Sharpie or Acrylic marker

Create the base

• For the base cut black paper 2 1/2 inches by however long it will need to be to mount all of the tags.
• Lay all the tags on the black paper leaving an equal gap between each tag.
• Adhere the tags to the black paper.
• In between each tag score the black paper.
• Fold the score lines creating an accordion fold.

Adhere the sentiments to the tags as pictured

Staple ribbons to the four tags without anything at the top.  

I just love how this little Halloween accordion turned out. Hope it inspires you to print out this great digi collection.

A Bearable Birthday!

 

Hello, friends!

Welcome back to Paper Play.  Do you ever find yourself needing a quick birthday card and not having the right one in your stash?  It's nice to be able to fall back on something to help save you time when that happens - and that's the focus of today's post.  Blank Page Muse has a great digital download kit, It's Your Party, that will all will you to create a really nice handmade card.  It has a variety of papers, ephemera, greetings, and more.  I chose a paper that I really liked and paired it with one of Rick St. Dennis' adorable bear stamps.  The result is a card that is certain to make someone smile!

 

Here's what I used to create it:

• It's Your Party Birthday Printable Papers, Bookmarks Ephemera for Junk Journals Cardmaking and more designed by Pam Bray Designs
• Birthday Bear with Cupcake Hat Line Art Rubber Stamp by Rick St Dennis 
• Special Day CLEAR Sentiments Flowers Stamp Set designed by Pam Bray

 Here's how I made it:

• Used the printer app for my printer to reduce the size of the digital background paper for the card (3.75" x 5") and printed it.
• Adhered printed panel to card base with double sided tape, stamped the sentiment, and applied Glossy Accents to the balloons on the panel to give them texture and make them shine.  TIP: use a heat tool on low or a hair dryer to speed up the drying time of the glossy accents!
  

• Stamped the bear onto white card stock; colored the image with a mix of alcohol markers, pastel gel pens, and glitter gel pens; fussy cut the image.
• Adhered the bear to the card with a Wobbler Action Spring, which gives the bear some motion when tapped.
• Placed two rows of rainbow gems under the sentiment.

Such a quick way to make a colorful and fun birthday card!

I hope you enjoyed this post and my tips for making a beautiful card in no time at all.  Let me know what you think!
