{Mixed Media Tutorial} Valentine's Day Triple Tags by MariLynn
Hi MariLynn, here with a tutorial on how I made these 2 triple tags sets.
Clustered Hearts (stencil)
Pocket Blooms (stamps)
I used the Tag O Coffee die to cut out the tags, then used texture paste and the Clustered Hearts stencil.
I used 3 water soluble markers to add color to the texture paste and then put copper metallic rub over them.
I die-cut the hearts 2 times.
I used packing tape behind the heart to put coordinating piece back in.
This is how it looked when I cut away the tape.
I put glue and white paint over the top.
I then heated it with my heat gun to make the glue and paint bubble and burn. I added some copper metallic rub over the top.
I stamped the sentiments on the tags. The middle tag on both sets of tags was a blue and copper dp that I just cut the tag and stamped on. It was hard to photograph because it was so shiny. It looks a little off color-wise but in real life it really matches
I wanted to have some blue twine to tie the one tag up. I ended up dying the twine.
After I dyed it I used a fork to make a bow.
The bottom tag in the sets was cut from teal cardstock that I ran through my cuttlebug with an embossing folder and I stamped the sentiment on little hearts that I glued down. I used copper metallic rub to add to the top of the embossed areas.
