Mummy? Is that you?!
This is a little tag I tucked in with Ladybug Linda’s Mystery Prize that she won last month. It was such a quick project and took me less than 10 minutes to complete. I could just sit and decorate manila tags for days on end and never have the same design. Feeling stressed? Try it! It’s great therapy – in fact, I think I’m going to go make a mountain of them right now! *grin*
How’d I do it?
Ingredients:
1 manila shipping tag ( I bought a pack from Office Depot or cut a bunch with your Cricut for those tag making moments!)
Stamp (“Stampabilities Mummy-UR1008″)
Copic Spica Glitter Marker – Gold and Black
8 small amber colored rhinestones
Small piece of sparkly green velvet ribbon (I found it at Hobby Lobby)
Black ink pad ( I used Stampin’ Up Black Craft Ink)
Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo and Antique Linen
Glue for the rhinestones (I used Beacon’s 3-in-1 Glue)
Directions:
1. Ink the tag edges and front using Tim Holtz Distress Inks is Antique Linen. Use the Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the edges.
2. Stamp the mummy image to the tag front.
3. Usng a Copic Spica Glitter Marker in GOLD, color in the mummy.
4. Add a doodled squiggly line around the four sides of the tag front using a Copic Spica Glitter Marker in BLACK.
5. Glue amber colored rhinestones to the top and bottom front of the tag (use photo for placement).
6. Tie a piece of sparkly green velvet ribbon to the bottom of the tag – knot and trim.
7. Add a sentiment to the back or leave as is.
Tags are such a fun addition to a card or gift. I like slipping a finished tag inside a card to be used as a bookmark, tied to a gift bag, used on a scrapbook page, the front of a card, etc. Are you a tag maker? If so, I’d love to see what you’ve made! Please share your URL here or send your photos and I’ll post them here!
Let’s see if I can squeeze some craft time out of my Sunday….keep your fingers crossed! *grin*
Olive making tags, don’t you?
