Tag, You're It!!

Hello Ladies, hope you all had a great weekend!

I know that many of you love paper crafting.  It's one of my favorite things to do (when I'm not busy spray painting and glittering everything in site!).  So I thought I'd share with you some of the decorative tags that I've recently made.

  I always like to tuck a little surprise in with all of my Etsy orders.  So many customers of mine receive tags that I've made.

 Vintage sheet music from my collection, a sweet birdie rubber stamp, as well as a few Frenchy stamped images, and a pretty hydrangea blossom make up these tags.  Oh, I just had to get the glitter in somewhere, so I generously glittered the silk hydrangea blooms!  Crinkly taupe seam binding adds a pretty touch.

 Of course I love making French themed tags, and created this one from a snippet from a vintage French book, some of my favorite French themed rubber stamps, and topped it all off with twine and a rhinestone atop the Eiffel Tower ('cause a girls gotta get her bling on!!!)

 The tags all started out as this:  boring manilla shipping tags!  I bought a huge box (there were at least 1,000 tags!) at a garage sale a couple of years ago, for just a few dollars.  Yeah!

 I always begin by tea dying the tags.  A bit time consuming, yes.  But so much more interesting, I think!

 I like storing and displaying the tags in my pretty aqua vintage pots.  Who said storage had to be boring?

I also like to add my tags to some of my finished creations.  Below I've added it to a sweet little decorative birdcage that I just sold in my shop.  I never permanently adhere the tags to the items, that way the recipient can easily remove the tags if they wish.

Glass cloches are very popular in my shop.  I often add my tags to them as well, like the above one that I sold awhile back.

The tags are so much fun to make, and one of the best parts of all is that I usually have everything on hand to make them!

Have a great week!  Now I am off to visit all of you creative bloggers!
