Tag Class

I am teaching two classes this week at Scrap That in Norman and wanted to get the word out cause I was told yesterday I am just not posting enough  again!  OMG!  I promise to do better!

On the third Wednesday of each month we are going to start having a class called What's Up Wednesday to teach everyone how to use some of those awesome goodies they are buying at the store.  Yes...that was a brayer not a crimper you bought the other day...you know who you are! Anyway the class is at 6 pm so feel free to drop by if you would like to learn something about embossing/debossing this month.  We are going to make a card tag that I also will be teaching in the Tags class on Thursday night.

This months tags class is all about travel and I used several of the Tim Holtz stamp sets to create 3 tags of various sizes. 
The first tag is a gigantic #12 tag made with stamps from TH CMS 128 Road trip.  I love this set with the big broad tire tracks and that old car.  I can remember traveling Route 66 to get home from California when I was a kid so it has some significance to me.  I made the hang down tag from a piece of the Destinations paper...an Oklahoma tag!
up close!  see the Oklahoma tag!

The second one is a #8 tag using the TH CMS 127 On the Railroad.  This a a huge locomotive  image and it is so detailed and fun to play with!  I love the tracks, the railroad crossing sign...so fun.

 TH CMS 124 Warehouse District the mini version of the Air Travel stamps was used on the third and final tag.  I love that these stamps come in a smaller size perfect for tags.  Once again I used a #12 tag and folded it to make a card and embossed it with a texture fade.  I am going to use this tag/card for the What's Up Wednesday class to show dry embossing using folders vs wet embossing using a heat set embossing powder.

Okay hope this works as a post for today!  Come play with us this week....Sharron says it is a group therapy session with lots of crafting, talking, and laughing.   Call 310-3100 to save your seat!

    1. I did that too but ended up going and buying another crimper to help with my flower making and making the corregated cardboard looking papers for various things. I used to steal{:-)} Starbucks cup wrappers to use with my punches till I replaced the crimper!
