{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. 

For my projects, I used:
Clustered Hearts and Tag O Coffee Die (dies)
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.





Hope you enjoyed reading how I put the tags together!
