It's been a few years since I've done any kind of craft show, so I bit the bullet and signed up for one this year in December. I've this particular show before, so I think it will be worth my while. SO this week I've been busy taking stock of old stuff, and getting to work on some new items. I have so many ideas, sometimes it's hard to stay focused. Monday I was working on tags. I have about 10 different designs, and although I didn't do a great job of photographing them, I think they turned out pretty well. I'm including a little picture tutorial today of how to mask a design. For supplies, I used standard packing tags from Staples in a few different sizes, stamps from Stampin' Up!, Pink Paislie and Studio Calico, scrap paper, QuicKutz dies, ribbon, buttons, glitter and other little bits. Here's what I have so far:
And a few close-ups:
To create the above tag, I needed to do some masking. Here's how I did it:
First stamp the image to be masked on a post-it note:
Cut out the image, and set aside. Next stamp the same image on the tag:
Cover your image with the mask (I had already done this several times!):
Now stamp your backround image over top of the mask:
Remove the mask, and complete the tag:
Have a great week! Thanks for stopping by.
