Hi all! Today I am sharing with you my Christmas Vintage Tag - its for the Farm Quest Country Christmas Challenge - #9 that is going on today the 7th of June. We sure hope to see you over there! Here are the photos to show you this lovely tag. :)
Actually, this started out as an old recipe card, it was in a stack of at least 20 in its original box never been used, this was at a flea market. I purchased it based on the lovely box... never really thinking what I could have done with the cards. So the idea popped in my mind the other day, why not cover the fronts and backs of the cards and use as tags, or pockets for future journal making. Why not? The cards are 4x6 inches, so right there that makes for a lovely play with paper. The paper used in this project is Stamperia I couldn't tell you name of it, as I've used most of the stack including the front cover. The ribbon is Sari Silk; the black corner things are "protectors" that you would find in old photo albums from days gone by. The rusty eyelet is from Triple V Vintage on Etsy... you should really check out her shop. :) I wanted the back of the card to resemble old worn out paper - I used Distress Ink in Tattered Rose and Wild Honey. (Tiny) Tim Holtz paper clips are the toppers for the smaller tags. Also if you are interested I have made a video and shared it on YouTube, you can find it here. Recipe Card Make over Hopefully the link will take you to just that video. Thanks so much for stopping by this blog, its been a minute since I have added any postings.
And be sure to join in with our Challenge too! Have a wonderful crafty day. Mary
