Hello, good morning and greetings to all! I'm here bright and early (well, sort of) with a bit of Tim, a tag and a bag! This week at Simon Says Stamp & Show we are having a touch of Holtzamania by diving into Tim's world of Tag-ology... Over the years there has been oodles of inky inspiration from Mr. T so we thought it would make a great challenge theme.
As my title says I'm being a bag lady today with my variation on Tagology. Now that's a made-up word indeed, word but it works! I've been on quite a mission lately to start using up my mountain of unused Design papers and when I came across my Retro Stash I suddenly thought that the striped paper in the set was actually quite festive!
I made one of these quite a while back but thought I'd create a festive one as it is just the perfect packaging for that little something special. I'm always looking for a way to make use of all those tags that so many of we crafters accumulate. My inspiration comes from Tim's seventh tag from 2011. Check out the link for all the info. You just need two tags, three folds and some paper to create the sides.
I used Kraft Glassine Paper on the sides. It's great stuff. It's so versatile and I love how it can be transformed in both colour and texture. I have also used it for the holly leaves which I crinkled and swiped with Distress Ink. Don't forget, whether inking or stamping, you do need to heat set the coated Kraft Glassine paper to ensure the ink becomes embedded in the paper.
I was wondering how to close my bag and was playing around with ribbons and string but it didn't work so then I suddenly thought of Tim's Hitch Fastener. I screwed it to the underlying tag and then it just pops through the upper flap to keep the bag shut! I used Tim's die to cut my tags but I suppose you could cut your own to create any size you fancy. How big can you go???!!!
This week it's all about using Tim's tags as inspiration so you can make anything you want to. It's a great challenge theme and ideal chance to play around with your inks or get some more cards done before the Christmas rush!!!! Do take a look at the fabulous ideas from my team-mates over at the Simon Says Stamp & Show Design Team Blog. We are looking forward to seeing your creative thoughts and don't forget this generous $50 voucher from Simon Says Stamp!!! You have to be in it to win it!
I must be dashing off now as mummy duty is calling - literally. Thanks so much for calling by. See you soon,
Sarah.
