Simple Tag Making With A Touch of Ink

December 30, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today’s sneak peek project is a simple “thank you” gift tag. There are so many reasons to say thank you and maybe I should send this one to Stampin’ Up! You see the stamp set used to create this tag was free. It’s called A Touch Of Ink and is one of seven stamp sets and four packs of patterned paper in the Sale-A-Bration promotion starting on January 5th. To get any of these items all you’ll have to do is place a qualifying order.

Simple "thank you so much" gift tag created using the A Touch of Ink Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

TWO STEP STAMPING

Although it comes in a single stamp case A Touch Of Ink is a large stamp set. The 17 images and sentiments on the case insert are actually shown at 65% of their actual size. It’s a two-step stamp set with outline images plus solid images that can be used to add colour to them. The six sentiments also make it ideal for a variety of occasions.

For today’s project I chose the flower outline and solid stamp. First, on a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ piece of retiring Whisper White Card I stamped the outline using Basic Gray ink. Then below it I stamped “Thank you so much”.

For the solid image I chose Bumblebee ink. This image is not meant to be an exact match to the outline but gives a more artistic interpretation. So no stress getting the solid image perfectly placed.

With the stamping done I cut the other layers for the tag next. First a 2-5/8″ x 2-5/8″ piece of Bumblebee Card, followed by a 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ piece of Basic Gray Card. Then I layered all three card pieces together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow).

For the tag base I cut a 3″ x 6″ piece of Whisper White Card and scored it at 3″. Then I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder. To turn the mini card into a tag I punched an oval hole in the back close to the crease using the Detailed Trio Punch. Then I threaded some Linen Thread through the hole and tied it in a simple knot.

After that, I mounted the assembled layers onto the front of the folded tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I added a small Linen Thread bow with a Mini Glue Dot and I was done.

A TOUCH OF INK

I only used three stamps from the A Touch Of Ink Stamp Set today, but this is just the start. I have so many ideas for the rest of the set, particularly the hummingbird and butterfly images. But that will have to wait for another day. In the meantime here’s a look at the full 17 piece stamp set, and remember the stamps are much bigger than shown on the case sleeve.
