Craft UP! 2010

Remember when I posted that I was gettin' crafty in 2010 and that I would send a little pack of goodies to anyone who wanted to join in the crafty challenge? Well, these are the little packs I sent out over the weekend!

I have to say that the packaging is WAY more exciting than the contents. Haha

I printed the text for the tags on the computer, then stamped an image on them (Heidi Swapp damask stamp – my all time favourite). Then I grabbed the packaging from some chipboard lettering that only had a few letters left in it. I popped the remaining letters out and used the frame as a mask and sprayed with glimmer mist. Then I wrapped a 2" circle (punched out of old book pages) around the tag and stapled it in place with a page number (again from an old book). On the back of the tag, I drew a line around the edge with water colour pencil and added a felt dot, to cover the back of the staple. I finished off the tag by rounding 3 corners, punching a hole and threading it through with string.

I had so much fun putting these together that I made a couple of extra's so if you would like to join in the fun, leave me a comment and I'll pick two at random to send. So you too can "Get your Craft on!"
