Tag Tuesday

Hello Crafty Friends!!!

Today I wanted to share this vintage tag I made.

Stamps Used:

Rows of Numbers

Typewriter

Postcard-ATC 

I started by using scrapbook paper to create a 3x6 in tag.

(this paper was from one of my Tim Holtz pads)

I stamped the row of numbers along the left side of the tag to add details.  Next, I used a scrap of scrapbook paper popped up on pop-dots.

On top of that, I added my typewriter (also popped up on pop-dots).

Next, I used tumbled glass distress oxide ink , and water to add drips and drops around the edges.  I also used ripped scrapbook paper with flowers to add a pretty vintage feel.

 (I did ink around the ripped pieces before gluing them down).

To finish I mounted the tag on matching blue card-stock.  I stamped the postcard atc in 2 colors in the upper right.  I stitched around the tag, and used cracked pistachio distress oxide spray inks to add extra distressed goodness.  

To finish, I added some Tim Holtz stickers, and a clip.

Universe Inside - Art Journal Page by Susanne

Hi there!

I'm sharing an art journal page with you today. I used the Whimsical Leaf Lady stamp as my focal point. The colouring is made with Brushos and Aztec Metallic paints.

I recorded a video for you! Enjoy:

Thank you for stopping by today!

Just My Type!

I don’t usually hear voices but sometimes I see a stamp and it calls out to me. In this case, it actually wrote me a typed message that read - Take me home, you need me EllenBee. And so I did. And it now happily resides in a cigar box labeled VLVS.

To celebrate the arrival of this wonderful Vintage Hammond Typewriter Ad Stamp I decided to make a Vintage/Retro Secretary Album.

Supplies

Vintage Hammond Typewriter Ad Stamp
High Gloss Embossing Powder
Miracle Tape
Graphic 45 Kraft Envelope Album
Graphic 45 Communique Paper
Washi Tape
Kraft and Black Paper

Directions

I started this easy project by lining each page with Kraft paper and then adding a slightly smaller piece of patterned paper over that. Then I stamped out the image on a small piece of Kraft paper and used the VLVS gloss powder to emboss. I next attached a strip of Washi tape on the bottom of the page and made a pocket using the Black paper and Miracle Tape. To that I added the stamped/embossed typewriter image. Pictures never do it justice but in person it is shiny – just like a new typewriter.
