12 Tags of 2015 - June

Hello everyone! I'm here to show my take on Tim's June Tag for 12 Tags of 2015! His tag was so fun, didn't you think?!! And...so practical to be used to give gift cards...LOVE that! The man is so inspiring! So inspiring that I made three!
Since I've already used the Coffee Cup die on another project,  I thought I'd go with the Tea Time die this time. The red is for me and the other two are gifts.
I misted with both Antique Linen and Pumice Stone Distress Spray Stains from Ranger.
So I cheated a lot. I only had one custom pad, so I just inked on the colors for the other two tags. Guess what's on my wish list now?!!
I die cut the stick burlap from the Tattered Doily die, and the bottom of the tags as well. What a cool die! I used one of the pieces from inside the die on the tea bag tag...the little flower shape. Using trash is great!!!
I die cut the tea cups with Manila.
One of the cups and the saucers for each tag were painted with Distress, dried, and then inked. I also used a Frayed Burlap Marker to outline a little.
I wanted a granite ware look (Thanks Wendy Vecchi for the inspiration!) so I added drops of Picket Fence paint with a paintbrush. Messy goodness!
I stenciled in the rest of the tea cups with the Layered Stencils. It was hard to choose which ones to use.
I fishtail cut the wooden spoons, inked them, and added the Hashtag sentiments. I stapled on string to the tea bag tags, and tied Jute Ribbon around each tag. I also painted in the Typed Tokens for each tag.

  5. You always have the most wonderful ideas Anita, I love the teacup idea for your tag, they all look amazing, especially the faux granite ones! The doily bottoms look fantastic in the burlap (must try that) and your plaid backgrounds are beautiful. I thought I just 'needed' the coffee cup die but now I need the teacup one too......sigh..... Hugs, Anne xx

  11. I absolutely love your original take on Tim's tag. The color and patterns you chose for the teacups are splendid. I have the doily die too, but wasn't happy with it when I used it. If I need multiple pieces of the same die and using cardstock, I usually cut 2-3 at a time. When I did this with the doily die, it ruined my paper because it got caught in the intricate design. I had to cut one piece of cardstock at a time. Did you have any problems cutting the burlap, which is much thicker than cardstock?

  37. Anita -- I am absolutely in love with these tags. Stacking those tea cups and using the background colors on the stenciling for your white teacups just takes this project into the creative stratosphere. Seriously -- how do you pack such creativity into one person?????? I think this is my favorite take on Tim's June tag! Hugs my friend -- Mary Elizabeth
