My Year in Tags

So I was working on the make 'n take for the TNT scrapbook club I lead at Ever After Scrapbooks and I realized I'm missing a great opportunity to post some great tips 'n techniques...
You see, I've decided that each month's make 'n take for 2009 will be a tag since tags are small enough to complete in 15-20 minutes and are a great embellishment to be added to our paper crafting projects.

Even though I'm getting a bit of a late start, I will add the January tag to this post with a supply list and short description of how it was completed. I did post about the February tag and will link both of these posts to my "Year in Tags" sidebar.

January Tag:
Products used:

Glimmer Mist (Cranberry and Patina)
Picket Fence Crackle Paint
Staz-on Ink (teal blue and black)
Snowflakes (took apart a snowflake garland from the local dollar store)
"Thinking of You" rubber stamp from my stash

Directions:

• Lay a few snowflakes on the tag and spray Cranberry Glimmer Mist on tag
• Remove snowflake "masks" and dry tag with craft heat tool
• Spray Patina Glimmer mist on tag (it's important to dry each glimmer mist layer individually so that the colors won't "blend"
• Apply a bit of crackle paint across bottom of tag, let dry
• Press one snowflake in Teal Blue Staz-on Ink
• Layer another snowflake on top and adhere with a brad
• Add Sentiment (Thinking of You) with Staz on Ink

There, you have it:)

Enjoy!
