Let's Use Our Scraps To Make Tags & Pockets

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


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

I am bringing you the video tutorial for the project I made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Showcase blog hop. In this hop we share what we are working on. I have been meaning to film this project ever since I made a prototype. A once sheet wonder made from scraps and turned into tags and pocket fronts for a journal. If you are not into making journals then they could be made into panels for cards instead. I do love a scrap busting project. 


Let's Use Our Scraps To Make Tags & Pockets


Measurements and Materials

  • Scraps of designer series paper was glued to an A4 sheet of tea dyed paper
  • Gesso was added to soften the edges of the paper
  • Soft Suede ink was added using blending brushes
  • I used various stamp sets to add interest
  • Finally the whole thing was sewn to give a patchwork look
  • I cut the sheet in half and made 3 pocket fronts with one half and 3 tags with the other
  • The tags were decorated with die cuts and some vellum used to soften the background so the die cuts stood out


Now watch the video tutorial to see how this was made :-)
