I love to make tags. I love to drink wine. So of course they go together, right? Now, if you didn't think so, have a look!
I think that tag looks lovely with this bottle of wine! And bonus, the tag holds a piece of yummy chocolate and there's a hidden bookmark. Perfect gift for my bookworm friends!
Here's a quick video of how I put this tag together.
Eileen's Full Size Journal XL Scoreboard die is so perfect for making mini albums. This one is dear to me as it is my great niece and nephew and I made it for their grandmother, my sister-in-law.
I made a very quick video showing you how I made the journal with the edges completely paper wrapped. Sometimes I apply the paper to the chipboard before I die-cut and that works well EXCEPT when using that gray industrial looking chipboard and no matter how much I ink it, it still looks, well, industrial. AND, sometimes chipboard pulls apart from the paper so when I do it this way the chipboard is completely covered in paper, adding an outside layer of paper to help hold everything together.
Two simple pages; the page on the right is a pocket page and you can see a tag peeking out the top.
I die-cut star charms from the new Charms Thinlits set for embellishments on the left side.
I embellished the photo by cutting a label tag in half and topping with a button.
I created a background on the right side page using Eileen's new Plate and Pattern stencils.
Here's a quick video showing you how the stencils work.
On the right bottom is a pocket created with Eileen's new Bookmarks, Pockets, Toppers Thinlits.
The pocket is a perfect place for me to tuck a photo and my "trademark" poodle quote. It's just something I do in most of my mini album gifts.
It's time to make Valentine's cards! I used dies and an embossing folder from Eileen Hull Designs by Sizzix latest release along with Graphic 45's Curiouser & Curiouser paper collection.
The background is embossed black cardstock with luster wax applied to highlight the embossing.
Here's a quick video showing you my processes.
There's a flip page on the front with a pocket inside where you can tuck a decadent piece of Ghirardelli chocolate or a love note!
