Hello dear visitors to this poor neglected blog.... It's been weeks and weeks since I last posted, but today it is a 5th Friday in a month, and that means it is tag Friday over at
A Vintage Journey, when some of us Creative Guides share some tags we have made, and you are warmly invited to share one of yours. So here first of all is my tag:
I decided to make this tag part of a little gift for a friend, so I made a little folder for it to fit inside:
But before telling you more about the folder, a bit more detail on the tag:
The background was created with a gelli print and then further enhanced with inks and sprays.
I then did some background stamping with white gesso and finally stencilled the words through one of Tim Holtz's layering stencils using the Picket Fence Distress crayon. The focal image of the vintage Santa I found on the internet many years ago and have used in previous years on some of my freebies.
Now for the folder I took a piece of 12 by 12 card, trimmed it to just a bit higher than the tag, and scored as you can see from the inside of the folder, to make 3 panels, with a quarter inch score between so it folds easily.
Each of the panels was covered with some blue paper that I created in Photoshop elements and then printed. Like I usally do, I then added some background stamping, inking and stencilling.The pocket was made with a spare bit of card covered with more of the papers and finished with some lace trim.. The left side panel was enhanced with die cuts and a vintage image I puchased on
Etsy.

The front of the folder was finsihed with an image from the same set.
And here finally you can see the back of the folder:
Well, that's it for today, but before I leave I want to apologize for the quality of the photos, the light here has been terrible, and my camera isn't the best anymore...
Do check out the fabulous tags my teamies have created over at
A Vintage Journey and we would love it if you share a tag you have made.
Thanks for visiting today,
xxxxx
