Hi, Connie here to share a set of Encouraging Word Mixed Media Tags. They can be used as bookmarks…that was my plan all along! The encouraging words are a plus too.
The inspiration came from the flower button by Buttons Galore and More. The color and the homespun fabric made for a beautiful starting point.
A look at the products used and a few more to create the tag bookmarks. I started with the Distress Oxide Inks to get a mixed-media background for the focal image. Follow along with my step-out tutorial.
Encouraging Word Mixed Media Tags Details
- 1. Cut the tags to 2 1/2″ x 6″ cut from heavy white cardstock. Stamp a focal image on the tag first. Add other accent stamps to create the desired mixed-media look. Using a corner rounder tool, punch the bottom corners.
2. Mount the tag with a coordinating cardstock mat with Crafty Foam Tape 108′.
3. Stamp word strips and adhere to the tag front using 3D Foam Strips Black.
4. Finish the tag with a fabric tie and button charm.
I used 3D Foam Strips White to adhere the word strip to the bookmark tag that has the deer on it. The Dual Tip Glue Pen was used to adhere a tag reinforcement to the top of the tag (for the fabric tie).
These tags are put together a little differently. Using the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere a white cardstock panel behind the tag front (making the tag stronger).
All four bookmark tags were speckled with white acrylic paint for a distressed wintery look.
Thanks for stopping by!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
