Mixed Media Recycled Christmas Tag

Hi, my friends, welcome back! This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge we challenge you to create with something previously used - "RECYCLE". I was inspired to create a mixed media tag using the recycled cardboard on the background and decorated it using Tim Holtz Sizzix Geo Christmas Thinlits Dies and Idea-Ology Christmas Typography Findings.

I started this project with cutting a size 8 tag using the cardboard from a used shipping box. The background of the tag was applied with some Gesso using a brush. 

I die cut the Geo Christmas Thinlits Dies with different colors of card stock and layered them. Some wooden and metal Christmas embellishment were attached on the tag. Some rub on sentiments were added to finish off this project.

It's really fun to reuse or recycle something that you can find easily at home. I hope you like my recycled Christmas tag and got inspired to create your project. Join us and happy crafting!

Mixed Media Tag Recycle Opportunity

Hello, my lovely friends, welcome back for the new challenge. I hope you all had a great weekend. This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge our theme is "Recycle Something". We would like you to recycle something! Maybe use some ribbon or twine from a gift you received or decorate a carton or jar, there is so much ‘rubbish’ that we can alter into something beautiful and help to save the planet at the same time!

I was inspired to create a mixed media tag using the recycled bubble wrap, book page, wire and cardboard, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Rubber Stamp Opportunities and Idea-Ology Quotation Metallic Stickers. To start this project, I first pasted a piece of torn cardboard and bubble wrap on the tag using Tombow Mono Glue.

The tag and embellishments were colored with various shades of Distress Paints. I also added a piece of torn magazine paper and made a wired heart to attach on the tag.

The sentiment was stamped and cut to paste on the tag. I also stenciled some sentiments with Tim Holtz Layering Stencil and Distress Paint, and added some Idea-Ology Quotations Metallic Stickers. To finish off the tag, I outlined the tag with a brush pen and Ground Expresso Distress Paint.
