More Handmade Tags!

I've been experimenting with more items to make tags. I found the Bingo cards at a thrift shop and my friend, Julie sent me some things to play around with. The first item is from a game called Outburst. They turned into these:

These are from a game called Stare and playing cards.

I need to turn the playing cards the other way around but I like how the numbers came out.
Games: Skip-Bo, Monopoly Chance and Community Chest cards, Uncle Wiggly, Guesstures and Mad Gab.

I like the Guesstures backside with the blue and green and LOVE the Monopoly cards, the others, not so much :(

Also received more Monopoly property cards and love those!

Thought I'd show before and after photos of a few items I've made into tags! Didn't take a photo of the book first, but the pig tags are from a children's book called Pigsty!
Monopoly properties turn into these cool two-sided tags.

This is a music journal, used to do lessons.

These are the tags that I made from the journal.

This is a pad of paper I picked up at a flea market! It looks like it was used for car appraisals!

I love how they came out! They'd be prefect for pricing items for garage sales, flea markets, shops, shows and to write a short message to customers!

You can see other tags in my shop: www.RunsWithScissors4.Etsy.com I'd be happy to do custom orders for you!

New Tags!

This is my latest fun thing to do!

I took old receipts and made them into hang tags! These receipts are dated from 1902 up to the 1940's. Take a look at the receipts and then visit my Etsy shop to see the tags! http://www.runswithscissors4.etsy.com/

Thanks for stopping by! Custom orders are welcome!

Thank you tags!

I really wanted to make some tags to send along with my orders as a thank you. It occurred to me that I have a huge container of scrapbook supplies, so I got those out and rooted through them. Here are some results. I used some thank you stickers and rubber stamps. Added some brads and doodads and think they came out nicely.
The one above has a 3-D butterfly, I used pop up sticky foam pads.
Some are nothing more than an antique looking tag with my address on it and thank you on the back.
The ones above are smaller tags that started out white and I dyed them. I love these except they curl up, even days after I put them under a book to flatten out, when I removed the book, they curled. Anyway, the brown antique ones are coffee dyed with vanilla scent, the purple ones are dyed with food colors as well as the teal and tye dyed ones. Again, added some brads or buttons with a thank you sticker.

Good Etsy Week!

Just last night, I found out I was in four treasuries and an alternate in another one on Etsy! And if that's not cool enough, I had two friends/customers send me photos of items they made with paper beads!

Take a look at this! This came from Doris, who can be found at http://www.dorisrivera.etsy.com/. She made these beautiful necklaces!

And this is a second one she made with paper beads included!

Made with the green dot paper beads I made. Aren't they just beautiful? I'm so pleased with them!

Also, Jennie from http://www.sosorosey.etsy.com/ made gift tags using paper beads made just for her.

OMG, ladies! Absolutely wonderful jobs you both did! And thanks SO much for sharing them with me!

(Make sure you click on the photos to enlarge them!)
