Let's Use Our Paper Napkins, Book Pages & Brown Paper Bags - Embossed Tags

Nigezza Creates aka Gez


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

This is the final technique I shared at the Rach & Bella Crafts retreat, using paper napkins. I really love how these turned out. The are so 'spring' and will perfectly compliment the Garden Story kits produced for the collaboration.

I added some spring inspired words to each of the tags. I created these and will be giving them away as a freebie on my Ko-Fi page.  https://ko-fi.com/s/58ed7dd1f4

Nigezza Creates aka Gez


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I don't want to confuse anyone but yes it is Sunday! I usually do a charity shop haul on a Sunday but the lovely Steph from Hilltop View Journals is doing her #jigsawjounral collaboration video tomorrow and wanted to link back to this video which was not due to go out until Wednesday. SO just for Steph I have rearranged things! 

So this is another of the techniques I demonstrated at the Rach & Bella Spring Craft Retreat. I used a scan of an old will form 1865 as the base and I will be offering this as a freebie download on my Ko-Fi page. You can get it by clicking here - https://ko-fi.com/s/5ae6af1fb4

Ideas For Using Napkin Paper Made With Freezer Paper

Nigezza Creates aka Gez


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

At the recent retreat I attended I did a workshop showing lots of ways of using paper napkins (serviettes) in a journal. This first idea is using freezer paper. I do not show how to stick the napkin to the freezer paper as lots of people have done that. You simply iron the top layer of the napkin to the shinny side of the freezer paper. then you have a lovely sheet of paper to use as you please. I did tea dye the paper after sticking and it was absolutely fine and did not unstick.
