Tags!

I invited some girls over on Friday to sell my cards for the benefit of the Chin (Myanmar) refugees here in Malaysia. I managed to sell for 900RM (about 260USD) and I will give it all to the Chins, I work with this group helping them with handicraft. They, themselves make cards, bookmarks, beautiful bags, table mats and more to be able to survive here they need to sell their products on various occasions such as bazaars. I think I sold around 45 cards and above you see the tags I made for the prices.

Christmas tags cont.

I finished my tags at home and these turned out to be the best. I (we) used papers from K&Company  which I cut out pieces from, distressed inks, distressed stickles! One of my favorites things are to use the scissors distressing technique (Scrapperlicious) and then ink with distressed ink.

Christmas Tag workshop!

Today we met at Choo's Scrapping memories. WOW has he got a lot of stuff for the moments! Hurry, and you will find a lot of nice scrapping things for X-mas. Today we used whatever we could find in the shop to make the tags. Catherine decided she was a pink lady (?) today but made wonderful tags with backgrounds from Distress ink. She taught us an easy way to apply the ink, just use wet tissues! Choo has got the new distrassables stickles, which we used a lot. 

Anna (and Nilla, her tags coming soon) worked more on the traditional side today, using gold, red embossing and inks.

 

Christmas Tag

A different tag based on Tim Holtz's 3 Christmas Tag 2008. I printed a photo on Studio sticky back canvas, distressed the edges with Black soot.  You get a pretty cool effect when you print on canvas.
