Beautiful Very Versailles Stamp Set

January 31, 2022 Leave a Comment

What a frustrating morning! My vintage style gift tag made using the Very Versailles Stamp Set was done yesterday, and today I just had to write the blog post. However, on-going problems with our rural internet have been worse than ever. Just recently it’s been extremely unstable, cutting out every couple of minutes. Right now we have a temporary fix, but long-term we’ve been told we should upgrade our service. So instead of my planned crafting day I’ll be researching our options. Meanwhile I hope you enjoy this pretty project.

Create this folded gift tag with "Have a beautiful day" sentiment using the Very Versailles Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

VERY VERSAILLES BACKGROUND

This folded gift tag actually began with a scrap of floral paper from the Heart & Home 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. I love the delicate design and even though it was only a 2″ x 2″ piece it included a complete floral image. So picking up my Paper Snips I set to work and cut it out.

The DSP also influenced my colour choices for the rest of the project, Basic Gray and Cinnamon Cider. Then to give everything a vintage look I opted for Very Vanilla as my card colour, rather than Basic White.

With the flowers cut I pulled out the large script image from the Very Versailles Stamp Set. Using Basic Gray ink I stamped it onto a 2-3/4 x 2-3/4″ piece of Very Vanilla Card. Then using a Blending Brush I added Cinnamon Cider ink around the edges. Over the corners I added extra ink to really add a dramatic contrast.

Going back to the Very Versailles Stamp Set I then chose “Have a beautiful day”. As before I used Basic Gray ink to stamp it onto a piece of Very Vanilla Card. To cut it out I used a long hexagonal die from the Tasteful Labels Dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine.

Despite being on Very Vanilla Card the sentiment was still too bright, so I decided to add ink to that piece too. Just Cinnamon Cider made everything look a bit too brown, even with the brighter flowers on top. So taking my cue from the tiny flowers at the bottom I pulled out my Fresh Freesia ink pad. After adding this ink around the sentiment it was definitely much better.

QUICK FINISH

It hadn’t taken me long to prepare the pieces, now all I had to do was put them together.

For the tag base I used my Paper Trimmer to cut and score a 3″ x 6″ piece of Very Vanilla Card. Then I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder.

To turn this mini card into a tag I opened it up and placed it into the Detailed Trio Punch. Then with the crease just to the right of the centre mark on the oval hole option I punched. Now I had a hole at the back of the folded tag. I chose Very Vanilla twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack and threaded a piece through the hole. Finally to secure it in place I tied the ends in a simple knot.

Finishing off the front of the tag was really quick and I started by attaching the background layer using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow).

Then with more liquid glue I added the fussy-cut flower to the sentiment around the left side of the words. With that in place I cut off the excess part of the die-cut piece with a Paper Trimmer. Then I just needed some Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to fix the completed sentiment onto the tag. Job done.

I don’t design a lot of vintage effect projects as it’s not my natural style. However the more I do the happier I am with how they turn out. What do you think?
