Tag Mini Book

Do you love tags, but not sure how else to use them in your crafting?  Here’s an idea to make this simple yet elegant mini tag book.

Here’s what you’ll need to create this:

Websters Pages NEW collection, “Family Traditions” collection.

Petaloo Texture flowers, Botanica flowers and Trims

PaperTrey Dies: Thankful and scallop border

May Arts Ribbons

Chestnut Roan Chalk Ink

Darice Embossing folder

Tags

The Family Traditions collections includes mini file folders , perfect size for the tags I used.  I adhered the file folder to the back of the front cover of my tag book.  I used the loose tags for my pictures for one side and a journal on the back side.  You can add ribbon and flowers like I did here.

Thanks again for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed today’s mini tag book.

Using a circle die/punch cut out 3 circles and glue the strips of glitter ribbon on top of each circle using fabric glue. Trim off the excess and you have a nicely glittered circle.  You can accomplish this with different shapes for texture on any craft project.

American Crafts Glitter Ribbon can be purchase through Scrapbook Steals.com in a package like this or by the spool.

I enjoyed using American Crafts glitter ribbon to create these adorable flower heads and stems.  You can use this same technique to decorate gift packages, tags, cards and mix media pieces.

Are you Knotty or Nice?

Have you seen what’s new at Lifestyle Crafts….lots of new dies!!!!  So many goodies and if you use Coupon Code CARDSBYALICE you get 20% off.

I’m drooling over these dies, but will have to see if Santa will be visiting this old girl on Christmas…LOL

I do in fact have this die set which is the cutest snowflake set from Lifestyle Crafts.

There’s 5 dies total in this set so I love the different sizes so you can layer or use one at a time.

Just adding a little glitter makes this snowflake die pop off the card.  Looking forward o see what you create with it.
