Hello!  Brooke Bock here again!  Today's cards come to you from my scrap tubs.  I seem to save every little scrap and bit of paper so I hauled out 2 little tubs to see what I could put together.

I started by stamping some coffee stained tags with word stamps from the Painted Sentiments Stamp Set and the Colorbox Color Pop Minis Stamp pads.  Two I stamped right on the tag and one I stamped a scrap and glued it on the tag.

You can ink the edges of the paper and tag.  I do this by running the paper right along the edge of the pad.

Or you don't have to.  That little scored piece of card stock adds interest and texture. Plus every card can use a bit of bling.

The little heart on this one is from the Heart-full Homes Stamp Set.  I added a bit of ribbon and a punched scalloped circle.

This one used 2 punched circles: one above and one below.

Thanks for taking a peek at these quick little designs.  Scrap designs are my favorites.

Mini Tag Journal Using At Ground Level Stamp Set from Susan K. Weckesser

 Hello Folks!

I am thrilled to show you this fast and easy tag book I made this month.

I am still enjoying my new studio space.  It is a great place to create.  Many of my supplies and tools are right at my fingertips which makes creating easy and fun.

I started by stamping some shipping tags with 

Colorbox® Color Pop Premium Dye Ink by Susan K. Weckesser in Fresh.  For the first one I stamped directly on the tag.  For subsequent ones I stamped my acrylic block and then pressed my tag onto it.  I used a baby wipe to smear the color all over the tag before it dried (and to clean up my block).  Then I wadded up my tag and smoothed it out.

 Next, I used stamps from the At Ground Level set to stamp each tag. I added word stamps from the An Artful Ornament stamp set for one of the pages as well.

Then I just had fun by adding some extras with the Doodle Stencil, trims, and some more of the 

Colorbox® Color Pop Premium Dye Inks by Susan K. Weckesser. I used a tassel from my trims box and a piece of ribbon I removed from some flowers to loosely tie the tags together.

This would be such a fun project to do with your kids one afternoon.

I love shipping tags.  I buy them by the huge boxful from office supply stores.

I often tea dye them though I actually use coffee. I also dye them using dye and a ziploc bag.  I do them in large batches so they are ready to go when inspiration hits.

For this project I used:

Lace scraps

yarn scraps

 pieces of ribbons
