If you’re hopping with the Make It Monday Blog Hop, WELCOME! You probably came from seeing, Connie‘s sparkly Halloween tags. Read through for the other blogs in today’s hop.
Several times a year, one of my online groups does tag swaps. The Halloween one is a favorite. We make and mail three tags and will receive three in return. It’s always fun to see the different styles! At first, I thought I would create digi tags. I was inspired by two headlines that I’ve seen in blogs and on Pinterest:
Bring on the BOOs
Happy OWL-loween
To get started, I opened an 8 ½ x 11 project that I have just for these kinds of activities. Here’s a screenshot of what I created.
I basically looked at whatever digi-supplies I had in a Halloween Theme. I chose to use a variety of products rather than ones from the same designer or kit. Once I layered each tag, I grouped everything together and saved each tag separately as a jpg. I ordered 4×6 prints from my local CVS because my printer didn’t like the all black background and the quality was too poor for my liking. I fussy cut the tags and felt like they needed more.
I also wanted more crafty time this week so I pulled out my Gelli Plate and made a few prints on carboard and embossed paper (all scraps). I also wanted to play with my new Tim Holz Shattered stencil and fabric paste. Although they ended up under the tags, I loved the effect!
I added some bling and now I have to decide which one to send…. Shucks – I’m sending both! Happy Halloween!
