I thought that it was high time I reinstated by Something Different Saturday where I showcase a project that is not strictly a card. It may be a tag, a card set, an MDF piece or my favourite a Box! so here is the first Something Different Saturday of 2016 and its a tag! Now this page is designed to math the Box that I am beavering away on for next Saturday's post.
This is a simple project made as it is from layering onto a tag cut from the largest of Sue Wilson double pierced tags set for Creative Expressions. I find this die so useful that it is held in my basics book as I get it out so often!! This tag was embossed with the A4 star Swirls embossing folder to add a layer of texture. I then rubbed Pearl Moon CS gilding was over the raised design and rubbed the excess off, and added a lovely shine, with a dry wet wipe.
I stamped the outline stitched stamps form my pierced flags clear stamp set and cut it out using the matching die designed by Sue Wilson. Next I stamped the sentiment, appropriate for a Saturday I thought, in detail white CS embossing powder onto Wisteria foundation card and cut this out with the same large tag die form the set. I foam mounted this sentiment flag over the plain stamped one slightly offset and foam mounted them both onto the right hand side of the page.Next I stamped CE silver double sided satin ribbon with the camellia border stamp form my Camellia elements clear stamp set in black archival repeating the pattern to cover approx half a metre. next I made a double bow with the stamped ribbon and used the remainder as a tie thought the top hole in the tag. Finally I made up a coconut white Camellia flower us the Sue Wilson Camellia die set and finished it with a pearl in the centre. I added this over the bow and placed it on the top left as shown.
A simple tag that could, if you like, make a card in itself !
Ingredients:
Card Size: Tag
Colours: Wisteria, Coconut White and Silver
Dies: Camellia Complete Petals, Pierced Flags, Pierced tags
Stamps: John Lockwood Mondays Child & Camellia Elements sets

Good morning John this is a stunning tag. There so much detail it would have to be for a very special occasion. Enjoy your weekend. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteMorning John very effective.

A gorgeous tag. A suitably 'educated' and crafty recipient would recycle and make into a card. However, a mean, greedy person like me would keep it!
ReplyDeleteTeresa
Very posh.....love it

Morning John,
ReplyDeleteI love this it's gorgeous. So different. Also glad to say I have the dies and stamp sets to enable me to do this.
I spent yesterday afternoon, going through our Christmas cards we received and using the tags made loads of gift tags for next Christmas, they look so professional lol. I always try to recycle my Christmas cards except the special ones that I keep.
Can't wait to see the box to go with this tag, hope you find d us all the sizes etc. How about a video like Sue does. We know you've done a few, would be nice if you could do some when making cards & boxes.
Have a great day
Maggie
Eh up John
ReplyDeleteVery pretty tag that would complement a special gift.
Have a great day.

A superb tag John and so elegant.
ReplyDeleteMy apologies as I haven't visited the blog for sometime but plan to make it a regular feature of my day.
I am just catching up with some of your old shows on Hochanda and I am afraid I missed your most recent ones.
I am thinking of starting a blog but that would involve more than looking at all my new goodies that I was lucky enough to get for Christmas.
Going to pack Christmas away tomorrow so will have the space to craft once again.
I look forward to seeing the box next Saturday, wishing good things to all xxx
Hi John,
ReplyDeleteI Love Your Beautiful Tag You Always Create Great Projects What Ever They May Be

Hello John
ReplyDeleteWell what a fantastic Saturday blog. Love the tag you have made and again ......I love the idea of stamping on the ribbon.
I can see that this tag would also double up as a card.
Thanks for the ingredient list, I find this so useful.
