Bag Tags for Convention

45 days and counting. . . Stampin' Up! Convention is creeping up so rapidly and I am a little daunted by how much I still have to do.  Slow and steady wins the race though so I will simply work through the swaps and other projects that I have planned and try not to think about how soon the event is. . .

I am in the midst of making Bag Tags for the members of our team who are attending as a little thank you gift for sharing Convention with me.  It is also a practical present as every attendee gets the same bag and it is nice to be able to distinguish our group at a glance!

So here is a photo of one of the styles and I will upload all of them over the coming weeks. . .

This was quite a simple project using the Two Tags Bigz Die, I then covered the front with Spice Cake Designer Fabric - I used adhesive sheets with the fabric so that I could adhere it to the chipboard without bubbles or damp spots.

I have used two discontinued products - Hodgepodge Hardware label mount and the Life Definitions stamp set.  I love hardware and can't believe what a limited variety Stampin' Up! currently have.  Fingers crossed that there will be some nice new hardware in the next Ideas Book & Catalogue.

I have tied ribbons around the key ring to tie in with the theme and will add a few trinkets before I package them up for the glaz.

Of course I daubed the edges of the fabric with Soft Suede ink.  The colours in the fabric are Pool Party, More Mustard and Soft Suede.



I have made the rose using the Big Shot Blossom Party original die with More Mustard card stock which I daubed with More Mustard ink.  I have created water droplets with Crystal Effects.

The leaves are detailed with gold embossing powder using the Delicate Doilies stamp set on Soft Suede card stock.  I have punched the leaves out using the large oval punch and then roughed up the edges with scissors so that they looked more like leaves.  I wanted to add some bling to the leaves without taking away from the fabric and embellishments.

The sentiment was stamped using Early Espresso on Vanilla card stock as I wanted the words to be clear and easily read.  I tore around the edges and daubed using More Mustard to tie in with the theme. I stuck the embellishments on using TomBow glue.

Woo-hoo makes me excited
