Gift Tags Embossed White

Kraft colored tags or cards have a french country look to them, especially when you add jute twine. In this post, we'll create a white embossed tag that has a chic look in style with the current trends.

Our Crochet Background Rubber Stamp combined with our Handmade with Love Rubber Stamp makes for a great combo when creating a tag for a hand made gift. Whether its jewelry, like pictured above, or an heirloom shawl or blanket, these two stamps embossed in white on kraft colored card stock make a unique statement.

Simply, emboss our Crochet Background Rubber Stamp with white powder onto a brown colored card stock. The stamp measures about 3 inches x 4 inches. I rounded the corners of the tag. 

In the photo above, our Handmade with Love Rubber Stamp is embossed in white powder onto the same color card stock and then die cut into a round shape.

Another variation, I embossed in purple embossing powder onto a light purple card stock. This also makes an interesting combo. You can see the fun texture that embossing creates.

Add a hole punch to both and slide a ribbon into the tags.

For those of us that love to knit or crochet, you will appreciate that our crochet stamp is based upon a vintage doily pattern. I hope you will have fun creating a tag or card featuring this unique design.

Journaling Techniques to Create a Card

​In this project, I combined some favorite journaling techniques to create a handmade card.  For those of you that do not create junk journals, that's ok because the processes, like watercolor paint splashes, rolling edges of the paper are used below make a very pretty card with many layers. I also include below a couple of tips on keeping your tools sharp and options for using different focal points. We use a center layout where everything is built around the middle line of the card. Embellish using the top left and bottom right with a background pattern of script in black ink gives the green center a nice contrast which is often seen in journaling. (The red flowers are watercolor designs that were inkjet printed.) You can use stickers of flowers just the same. The  ​Venus de Milo Rubber Stamp  is now available. It measures about 1.25" wide x 3.25" tall.  The oval frame is from our  ​Create a Cameo Rubber Stamp Collection .  You will notice, I used the top part of the Ve

Non-Halloween Stamps to Create Scary

  The dramatic effect of white embossing onto black paper doesn't just have to be done at Halloween. Here we used some unconventional stamps to create a scary tag with a base of black. While these stamps normally wouldn't be in the Halloween category, they end up somehow being perfect to create a scary tag. The best way to get a bright white look is by embossing with white powder. Embossing always comes out looking extraordinary and worth the extra effort. Above is our  Victorian Man Profile Rubber Stamp  embossed onto black chipboard. He'll make a great embellishment for a Halloween. (measures about 2 inch x 2 inch). A tree branch from our  Season of Joy Collection  is one of my favorite stamps. It expresses the beauty of nature in a simple way. Above, the branch stamp was embossed in Copper Powder onto black card stock. Our  Grunge Ticket Rubber Stamp  is seen above, embossed in white onto black card stock. The stamp measures about 3 inches tall x 1.5 inches wide. I love

IPhone Cover Decor

Since Xyron has a fabulous way of making anything into a sticker, I decided to create décor for the back of my cell phone case. Taking beautiful, damask patterned glitter paper from DCWV, 6x6 pad, 'The Glitter Basics" I cut out my iPhone 6s cover pattern using a template I created in plain white cardstock of my case.  To cut out the circle in the middle, I used an X-Acto knife.     The Scooter Rubber Stamp was embossed on red paper and cut out with scissors.  I smudged 'Claret' color StazOn ink around the edges.       After placing the scooter through the Xyron Creative Station, I placed it onto the iPhone pattern and ran both through together.  The Creative Station can take such thick items.  You will see below that I ran embellishments made from shrink plastic and it had no problem with them. One of the magical features of the Xyron's sticker makers is that the top of your project comes out unscathed.  You just peel the plas
