Workshop Scraps version of Tim Holtz's tag # 6 for 12 Tags of Christmas 2011

Hi All,

If you read my previous blog post, you would know that I started gathering my "limited" supplies earlier today for making tag #6 for the 12 tags of Christmas on the Tim Holtz blog.

Tim Holtz tag



                                            




Just love having the GREAT "opportunity" to figure out how to make a somewhat similar and lovely tag.  I am really starting to see just how limited my Rangers and Tim Holtz craft stash is.  I'm already planning on how to put my Michaeal's and Hobby Lobby coupons to better use.

Beginnings of the paperbag mini

Hi Everyone.  I've posted my first you tube video for starting a paper bag mini album.  Using a lot of mixed media techniques learned from other scrap booking and mixed media artist sites.  Of course, I'll be using Provocraft's Cricut Diecutter machine and many other papercrafting and scrapbooking tools.   Stay posted for progress.  

Thanks for watching.

PRINT AND CUT TAGS CREATED USING CRICUT AND INJECT PRINTER

First, I created a page of Avery "labels" using a digital scrapbooking program template and printed it out on regular printer paper.You can also use the standard Avery labels in Microsoft Word program.

Next, I created a page of tags using the Gypsy and Cricut markers instead of the cutting blade.I tried to line each tag up visually to match Avery label template. It took several attempts because I had to keep "tweaking" tag locations on the Gypsy virtual mat until they matched perfectly to my printed tags on the inkjet.I just held printed label sheet and the "drawn" Cricut sheet of tags up together in front of bright light to check if the aligned like I wanted them to.

Once, the set up work was done, I printed multiple pages of my labels on cardstock (had to cut down to 8 1/2" by 11" to fit printer. Next, I ran cardstock paper instead of actual labels through my printer to print the tags. Lastly, I lined up printed cardstock on Cricut mat and "cut" out tags. I made 250 of them for wedding favor boxes.

Wedding Favor Boxes with Bride and Groom name tags

First, I created a page of Avery "labels" using a digital scrapbooking program template and printed it out on regular printer paper.You can also use the standard Avery labels in Microsoft Word program.  Choose preferred font for background monogram.  Then add a text box to print name of bride and groom, wedding date or preferred sentiment. Boxed were cut from SVG file purchased  on-line.
