Sale A Bration 2015 Week 8 Day 4

Now yesterday I showed you a Wedding Favour./Gift Tag
& today I  have another Wedding Themed Tag, with a different Technique
So today is going to combine Stampin Write Markers with Rubber Stamping


& here is your Product List for today:

Big News Stamp Set
Subtles Stampin Write Markers
Angled Tag Topper Cardstock
Soft Suede Classic Ink Pad
Venetian Crochet Trim
Linen Thread
1/4" Cotton Ribbon (Blushing Bride, Marina Mist, % Pear Pizzazz)
Clothespins


The tag is made exactly the same as yesterday's tag, by trimming a piece of Kraft Cardstock to  5 cms x 12 cms
Use the Angled (or scallop) Tag Topper Punch to create a tag top to one of the short ends.
Ink up the HAPPILY EVER AFTER stamp from BIG NEWS Stamp Set using Soft Suede ink
Give this a few moments to dry, and then get out your collection of Subtles Stampin Write Marker Pens. I have used a combination of Blushing Bride, Marina Mist & Pear Pizzaz.


Stampin up has done all the hard work for you by adding accent lines to guide you on where to add the accent colour.
I found it best to use the Brush Tip for this, and the photo below is probably the best one to show you where the accesnt colour goes. Keep a very light hand when colouring  and your will get a subtle accent that looks sublime.
Add a few stamped hearts (also from the Big News Stamp Set)
The tag below I added some Stacked With Love Washi Tape
Once you have finished with your colouring and Stamping, thread through some ribbon and Venetian Crochet Trim.
Secure with some Linen Thread and a Clothespin.
A perfect tag to use for your very own Homemade Wedding!

Sale A Bration 2015 Week 8 Day 5


Keeping with the Wedding Theme, Today I have a Favour /  Gift Tag For Youwith ooodles of Lush Ribbon & Lace that co-ordinates with the Inks used on the Tag itself and the Kraft Cardstock
Very Vintage Homemade Wedding that is SO in fashion right now.


And here is your Product List

CHEERS TO LOVE Stamp Set
Big News Stamp Set
Angled Tag Topper Punch
Neutrals Stampin Write Markers
Subtles Stampin Write Markers
Kraft Cardstock
Sahara Sand Lace Trim
Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim
1/4" Cotton Ribbon (Marina Mist)
Linen Thread


To begin this tag, it is cheaper and quicker to purchase the Kraft Cardstock and make the tags yourself using either the Angled Tag Topper Punch (pictured here) or the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.

Trim the Kraft Cardstock into pieces measuring 5cms x 12 cms
Punch one short end of each piece of trimmed cardstock using the Tag Topper Punch of your choice. Repeat with all the pieces of cardstock you have trimmed to size.


Next is the rubber stamping using the CHEERS TO LOVE stamp set. 
You have noticed that there is two colours on the tag but only one rubber stamp that produces the Happily Ever After Stamp. Now there is two ways of doing this. The first and more fiddly way is to use a Masking Technique where you print the image onto paper with a sticky edge (e.g. a post it note) and cut out the two different elements of the sentiment stamp. You place one mast (the HAPPILY) onto the cardstock and stamp the Happily using Soft Suede Ink.
Clean the Stamp and them repeat the same process with the EVER AFTER using the other mask, and a Stamp A Ma Jig to get perfect alignment of the stamps. and again clean the stamp. You will need to repeat the above process for every tag you need to make.

Now I  love using Masking in my crafting, BUT when you are making items in bulk, you want the easiest and quickest method of stamping, so here is OPTION 2

Take your rubber stamp and use the Soft Suede Marker in the Neutrals Stampin Write Marker Pack and the BRUSH END and ink up the HAPPILY portion of the stamp.
Next, take the Marina Mist Marker in the Subtles Stampin Write Marker Pack and colour in the EVER AFTER part of the stamp. If the ink looks to have dried a little, just give a big huff of breath onto the inked area of the stamp, and stamp onto your Tag .... see how much easier that is and many fewer steps too!!

This is the option I go for when making the same product in bulk.
Now stamp some Hearts from the BIG NEWS Stamp Set

Finally, thread those lush Ribbons and Trims and secure them by tying them off with a little Linen Thread.

I would love to here from you if you give this Technique a go,

Sale A Bration 2015 Week 8 Day 3

Today I am Sharing One of my Little Gifts that  I hand out to potential Customers

The Mini Treat Bag 


This fab little ag carries more than you would initially think possible
It comes with a lovely set of assorted Dies to allow you to make your treat bag very much your own as easily as 123 ...


The bag itself if made up of 2 pieces that stick together using Sticky Strip or Tombow Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue (my personal preference).

Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies  by Stampin' Up!

I made my little treat bag using Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack, but you could just as easily stamp some cardstock, and  die cut the heart using a heart die in the pack before sticking the bag together.

I then used the resulting heart die cut to make a tag adding the FOR YOU sentiment Die in the pack.


During Sale A Bration, I am placing a cello bag inside the mini Treat Bag 
(you could also use a Window Sheet)
 and fill the Treat Bag with  an assortment of accessories (here it is buttons). 

Ssecure the Treat Bag using a clothespin and tie the tag to the clothespin with a little Linen Thread. 
I told you it is as easy as 124 Didn't I?
