Christmas Journal Tags From Scraps

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it. Today I am bringing you the tutorial for the project I made for the Technique Tuesday blog hop. The theme was DSP. SO I have got a scrap buster idea for you. I used my scraps to create a collage sheet and then cut it up to make 6 tags. Could also have used them on cards but I wanted tags for a Christmas journal. I previously shared on my Instagram account a sewing themed project doing the same thing. It made such a change to create some that wasn't vintage for my journals.

Measurements and Materials

  • I used a standard sheet of Basic White card stock as the base of the tags
  • I made all my scraps into rectangles or squares
    • I prefer the collage/master board to have straight edges but they can be torn
  • Once they are all stuck down, which is done very randomly without much thought, I stamped stitching all over to give the impression of a patchwork quilt
  • I then cut the sheet up
    • I start with a cut @ 2" on the short side
    • This give a long strip that I cut in half to form 2 tags 2" x 5 7/8"
    • These can then be inserted into the Tag Topper punch and 2 tags are formed
    • Then I cut the remainder card into 4 equal rectangles 2 7/8" x 6 1/4"
    • If your starting card stock is a different size you will have different size tags
  • I then when round the edges with the stick stamp both back and front of the tags
  • I cut slants in the top of the 4 big tags to look like tags
  • Holes were punched and ribbon added
  • Each tag was decorated with die cuts, stamps, more DSP scraps and sentiments
  • I am so pleased with how they turned out
  • I intend to use them in a Christmas Journal - so nice to not be vintage for a change! 


Now watch the video tutorial to see how this was made :-)
