Another "Jim Shultz" inspired tag. I posted this one today on "Use It UP! Friday" because I used some retired paper. I loved this DSP. The deer is clip art from the computer that I printed off and traced onto Very Vanilla CS. I used a retired BG stamp, Linen, to add texture. This tag I love. It was fun to make.
I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. I figure that is what happens when you strive to make something everyday. It was fun playing with new paper and fabric from the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalog. The paper and fabric are from Twitterpated product suite. I love the new catalog and look forward to showing you more projects with some of the things I have purchased. :-)
Another "Jim Shultz" inspired tag. My pine cones were made by using the large scallop circle punch and the XL scallop circle punch. I cut the scallop edge and glued the two together to form a larger spiral. I then wound the strip of paper around my paper piercing tool and fussed with it until I got the look I liked. The one in the foreground (closest) I just inked and wound on the paper piercing tool. The other one and crimped the scallop in half and then folded the "petal" back and then wound on the tool. I like the subtle detail it adds.
I think I may need to do a fun one for tomorrow... maybe featuring holiday line up.:-)
Edited to add: The holes at the top are made by using a 1/2" circle punch & a 3/4" circle punch.
I will try to do a video this weekend on the rosettes/pinecones ;-)
Hey there stampers.... I have a video to go with this but due to internet issues, I have had 4 unsuccessful attempts at uploading. Hopefully, sometime this afternoon it will be here.
I am inspired by a well-known crafter that has his own line of products (so I don't think I am allowed to mention him by name...let's say is name is Jim Shultz) and does Christmas tags every year.
I used one of his tags as inspiration to create this vintage tag.
I promise to post the video as soon as my provider fixes the network issues. :-)
I have 3 kids in 3 different schools. There are a lot of people at those schools I would like to remember at Christmas. The budget demands that they are not huge gifts.... there are 12 or so people to purchase for. I got a little something for each of them and wanted to add a very special handmade card/tag to go with each gift. So for the two weeks or so, I will share my creations with you.
Tomorrow is Trending Tuesday (I will show you a tag inspired by a well-known stamper with his own line of products. My tag will use SU only:-)
Thanks to Karen who inspired me to get going on this project and not wait until the last minute to get it done. She is sooooo good like that!!
