Best Friends Layout with Tracy McLennon

Sometimes, it doesn't take much to add flair to a layout.  One of the most versatile items in our shop is Mini White Shipping Tags.  These little beauties can be tucked, layered, sprayed, stamped, and distressed to match your style.  Or, add journaling or a title to them and make them a focal point!  In today's layout, Tracy McLennon shows just one of the uses for these little gems.

My Girl Layout with Jenifer Cowels

Today we have a gorgeous layout from Jenifer Cowels to share with you.  Jenifer shared with us some thoughts about this layout:

"I love the way this layout came together.  It was a fast one only took about 30 minutes which is super fast for me, I have been known to spend an entire weekend on a layout to get it just right.  After the mist dried I went to work and my little focal cluster came together beautifully."

We couldn't agree more.  This layout is perfection!

Here are the shop products Jenifer used:

Doilies

Glitter Ballerina

Glitter Frames 

Glitter Butterfly

Glassine Bag 

Pink Shipping Tag

Gift Card Holder Tutorial with Lisa Spiegel

Today I'm bringing you a Shabby Chic Package Tag or Gift Card Holder you can create using some simple Curtsey Boutique supplies.

You will need:

Yellow Doily

Large WhiteDoily

White ShippingTag

Seam Binding

EmbossedGlassine Bag

To create my tag, I first trimmed 1/2 inch off the bottom of the tag, then I wrapped the doily around the shipping tag to create a pocket and glued the flaps down with my tape runner.  I tied seam binding into two bows to embellish the tag. To create the doily flower on the front, I simply pinched the doily together.

Then punched two leaves from the Glassine Bag and attached them to the flower with a mini stapler. I then wrapped the bottom in washi to secure the layers and hide the staple.

This flower was attached to the front of the pocket and I added a couple of paper flowers from my stash as well.

 The final touch was a two layer Glassine butterfly that I punched from the bag and stapled together.

Thanks for stopping by today!
