AUTHENTIQUE PAPER: Stamped and Watercolored Wobble Snowfall Collection Tags

Hello! It's getting to the point in the year where the gifts are starting to pile under the tree, and I am starting to run out of gift tags. For today's post, I created a sweet gift tag set using the Snowfall Collection. These are super easy to make, and just take a bit of time.

I started with the cute Snowfall Collection, and then painted the three children to match the colors in the collection. I really loved adding a bit more of the red tones, as they added a cute Christmas flair to this collection. This way I could use the fun colors into the Christmas season.

 

Each of the children images are stamped and cut using the Bundled Up Bundle from Concord and 9th, then painted with Jack Richeson Collegiate paints. The images were just perfect for the Snowfall Collection.

The first tag is created using Snowfall Six with a tag topper of Snowfall Eight. I just loved the sweater texture of Snowfall Eight, and used it as the tag topper for all three tags. 

 The second tag uses Snowfall Five and a few of the Snowfall Elements cardstock dies.

My favorite of the three tags uses Snowfall Seven and features a couple of the Snowfall Elements cardstock dies. Each of the stamped images is popped up with an Action Wobble Spring. Each will move and shake as the tag moves. The ribbons are also just stapled on with the Tiny Attacher. This way the ribbon will not shift. A simple piece of twine or string could attach each of these to a package or present. 

Thanks for stopping by to see today's Christmas tag set. I cannot wait to see what you make with the Snowfall Collection.

AUTHENTIQUE PAPER: "Love You Forever" Accordion Mini Album

I know that the New Year is coming up soon, but I really wanted to share with you this fun little "Love You Forever" Accordion Mini Album. To start, I used the wonderful Accordion Mini Album cut file by Paige Evans. She has a ton of great files, and quite a few mini albums. Make sure to watch the YouTube video she has for this if you get stuck. I followed the tips that she used for not taping the top of the middle pages to allow for extra tags.

The outer cover was a combination of Romance Three and Eight. I backed the image from Eight with a little bit of Five. Inking the edges a little bit gives the perfect amount of contrast between papers.

The inside focuses on the various patterns, highlighting the lace image from Romance Two. A sweet sentiment from the 12x8" Elements sheet sets the mood.

Once all of the pages were put together, I added the tags into the middles of each of the paired papers. 

A pretty gold threaded twine adds the perfect amount of sparkle. 

Once the accordion pages were all glued together, I added bits of cut papers from the 12x12 papers, and the cut-a-parts from Romance Eight. 

The opposite side is equally decorated. You could easily add mini photos or wallet sized photos to this as well. The pieces from the Elements 12x12" sheet have perfect sentiments and details to add more interest to your project.

The cut tags are a perfect space to write little messages to your beloved. Special memories, ephemera, or things that you loved about them would be a great place to start. 

Each tag is topped with the sparkly twine. Easy to remove to read.

The entire accordion is glued into the cover. I loved pairing different patterns together. Here, Romance Two, Three and Five all play nicely together.

A great side shot of the entire album all folded up. I love all of the different shades of pink and red that the Romance Collection has.

I hope that this inspires you to create a mini album for a loved one that you have. You don't have to create something huge from scratch, a simple cut file can help you start to create your perfect Valentine.
