Tag Book Swap *Spoiler Thread*

[Dreamer & Wisher]

I wanted to post some photos of my Tags so far to make sure I am going about this the right.

Here are my Peter Pan Tags

I really like these so far, but these Goofy Tags I am not sure. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas please let me know. I don't have an extra tag so I don't have as much room to play around. What do you think of the ribbons?

Goofy Back
http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n205/i20west/IMG_5147.jpg
What do you think of the green cardstock? Would you like Orange Cardstock added? Would you like to see chalks or more stickers? Is there anywhere to find a funny Goofy quote?

I don't want anyone to be disappointed with my tags. I also would love to see anyone else's tags.

[Mickster]

Holy cow! They are super cute!! Thanks so much for sharing them. Simple, elegant. Perfect! I'll show you mine (:eek: :rotfl: ) a bit later. I'm downstairs and my stuff is upstairs.

Also, I think I'd use orange for Goofy. I don't know why. I love the ribbons. The orange would match the ribbons. Just my opinion though.

ETA: Could you use GAWRSH for Goofy's tag? Is that even how it is spelled??

[AlexWyattMommy]

I think the chalks give it a finished and softer look. For the Goofy tag, some chalk would be good. "GAWRSH!" is the quote that the Mickey'n'Friends Cart gives him.

[Dreamer & Wisher]

I understand the orange because his vest is orange. His pants are green and so is his hat. I was trying to pull the colors from his sticker.

Should I use orange chalk or green chalk? I am glad you like the ribbon. I found it in the Halloween section at Archivers. In the photo the green photo mat on the back of the tag isn't stuck down.

I can add GAWRSH with some more of the same stickers I used for his name.

Also, Peter Pan will come with some "bonus" stickers You can add to your own tags. The stickers sets came with some stickers of him but he only fit vertically on the tag. So if you want to use him you can.

[PrincessNancy96]

Very cute!!! I'm not in this swap.. but couldn't resist coming in to see what inspiration could be found..and boy did I find some!!! :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

Use BOTH colors. It'll look so cool!

[BernardandMissBianca]

PPPUUHHHHLLLEEEZZZEEEE tell me I am in your Peter Pan group?!?!??!

Those are very cool. And I agree Gawrsh for Goofy would be perfect. As for chalk I'm not sure, maybe orange.

[vanyel]

These are adorable - I want Piglet!

[StitchIsOurHero]

Those are great! I love them!! :cool1:

[party of 3]

ok i don't even know what a tag book is.......but i love those tags!!!!!!

peter pan.....loooooovvvveee it!

piglet......double looooovvvveee it!

goofy.......looooooovvveee it!

ok now that i've said all that, what the heck is a tag book and how did i miss that? i just love the whole tag thing! i love the ones we used this year for autographs. everyone commented on them and the clipboard. i told them that i could not take credit for it, i got it from my friends on the dis!
someone please explain the tag book to me......PLEASE!!!!

[PrincessNancy96]

PO3...the tag book is just that a book made out of only tags...
In this swap Faerie had each swapper make 2 tags..
Now, in the zoo tag book swap I had each swapper make a tag.. decorated the front w/ the animal of choice.. than on the back we all made either a journal box, a flip journal box, an accordian journal box, a envelope w/ accordian like folded box... all the various journal box areas on the back could be used to add extra photos or just do special journalling.. check out the Zoo return thread... group I is three section of the tag book.. I photographed the front and then the backs of each tag... clear as mud? I'm going to make some more this winter for special occassions... Holiday traditions for each of my kids... especially for Christmas... We have some things we do every year... I want to work on a Halloween one this year... since I only have one that trick/treats and the others hold the fort down at home! :)

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Good Morning~!

Thank you to everyone who complimented my tags and and offered suggestions. :grouphug:

Here are some photos of the finished products.
I am sending the stickers and a brad. I am learning about all these new techniques like brads and chalks. I didn't put the brad on because then you could see the back of it on the front of the tag. Of course you can hide it with one of the stickers and I thought perhaps you would like to be able to arrange everything yourself. I hope I am making sense here :lmao:

I added chalk to the Peter Pan
Peter Pan Front.

And finally Goofy. I couldn't find a good color of chalks. I do have a green but I am not certain I like the effect. It is very bright!
Here they are so far.

What do you use to hold all the tags together? I am going to embellish a Metal Lunchbox to keep my book in!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I've seen really big O key rings, carabiner clips, ribbon and the chain like from dog tags.

I really like the effect you got with chalks. They look great.

I would love to do a holiday's throughout the year and a christmas one!!! We need to plan that for next year. DH asked last night if the expression was on my Xmas list, yes sir!!! Right on top with the princess carts following in a close second.

[happypooh]

I love what you've done so far. I'm a newbie when it comes to chalks. Am trying to figure out how to do brass stencil dry embossing...I have cindy, pooh, mickey but haven't figured out how to embellish or chalk the images after I've embossed them - they somehow don't look right. Anyone got any tips on what to do with dry embossed images? If I can't get it right I may have to use stencilling paste but it's so messy...ugh....

[AlexWyattMommy]

Q-tips. Lots of Q-tips. I use them with the dry chalk & wet chalk/inks on my dry embossed items.

[Dreamer & Wisher]

I use cats eye chalks. They are like small inkpads. I just dab it on around the edges of the paper.

[happypooh]

I finished my cindy tags yesterday - they took a long time! I'll try and post photos later..but I basically brass stencilled/embossed cindy, chalked and then painted with iridescent paint. Then I punched a castle, chalked edges and painted again with the iridescent paint. Attached a small piece of ribbon. Chalked edges of tag. I don't think the photo looks great but they look good when looking at them in person.
http://s187.photobucket.com/albums/x173/happypooh_01/?action=view&current=DSCF7650.jpg Then on the other side I embossed another image of cindy and painted it and attached some jeweled flowers and made a small flap to open so you can journal inside since it would be hard to journal on top of the embossed image. Chalked edges.
http://s187.photobucket.com/albums/x173/happypooh_01/?action=view&current=DSCF7655.jpg
http://s187.photobucket.com/albums/x173/happypooh_01/?action=view&current=DSCF7653.jpg
The second tag was alot simpler - I printed on to vellum and attached with brads, added some fiber. On the other side I embossed a dress and attached by another jeweled brad so that you can "open" or lift the dress out of the way to journal beneath it or behind it. (oh dear that sounds bad to be journalling under Cindy's dress!) Added a small sticker to the corner.

http://s187.photobucket.com/albums/x173/happypooh_01/?action=view&current=DSCF7649.jpg Hope you like them. Still may add some chalk to this tag and do alittle more...want to work on Nemo now while I'm in a fishy mood. Just keep swimming....

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Happy Pooh those are really pretty. I love that little blue dress. The embossing is beautiful.

I didn't sign up for the princess group:sad1:

[Faerie]

Wow, everyones work looks great! I'll take pictures of my goofy tags when I get home tonight

[AlexWyattMommy]

Happypooh, I love your embossing! It looks so good in the photos, bet it does look great in person.

Very nice! I'm doing something similar w/my Cindy tags, except I am just going to stamp them, then heat emboss.:)

[happypooh]

Thanks everyone - I really was having a hard time trying to figure out how to chalk but I think it turned out better than I thought it would! I'd love to heat emboss but I seem to have misplaced my heat tool and it takes too much trouble to stand in front of my stove! But I love the look of heat embossing! Can't wait to see the other Cindy!

[Mickster]

Here they are. Peek if you wish...:)

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Mickster and Faerie
I love your tags. I am disappointed I am not in your groups. Anyone else care to spoil the surprise? I love looking at the photos.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Just a suggestion, but to any and all Secret Sisters in the tag swap; making extras of your tags for your sister who may be either not in your group or not in the swap would make awesome gifts to send with the last package. (Don't want to do it sooner or your sister will know who you are. :rotfl: ) Not that I'm begging or anything. :dogdance:

[happypooh]

Mickster and Faerie - love them! Awesome work and I'm getting ideas for my tags too - thank you!!

[liv4diz]

Ok everyone, I have finished my tags and thought I would post pictures to get some feedback before I mail (since this is my first dis swap). So here goes. . .

First is Mickey for Mickey and Friends Group I.
IMG_3374.jpg

Second is Ariel for Princesses Group G. Ariel's shell opens and reveals the Little Mermaid. And on the back of that tag, the card pulls out from the left side of the mat for photos and/or journaling.

Paulette,
I love your tags!!
:banana: I am in your Mickey group and they are so cute! Thanks for sharing your photos.

I am kicking myself for not signing up for those princesses. The Ariel Tags are adorable. I love the Seashell opening up.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I love your creative way to hide the extra tags.
Everything looks awesome!!!

[PrincessNancy96]

Paulette,
LOVE the tags.. love the hidden journal/photo area..
I'm so lifting those!!! :)

[Faerie]

[BernardandMissBianca]

Very cool AWM!!! I will post mine that are done after DS11 goes to bed. We had a CC meet and open house at school so we haven't done any homework yet. :rolleyes:

[PrincessNancy96]

Have fun doing homework warden! My kids are doing state testing (yeah, figure that one out) and so homework is scarce this week! I can't wait to see photos tomorrow..off to watch some TV to collect my thoughts and organize my Thursday since we found Wed late today!

ah but if you thought 1/2 the day was Thursday then you should be 1/2 way done with your Thursday list right??? ;)

OK 1 more time, if I have to say do your homework one more time he's going to bed without said homework done. ERGH!!! He can tell his teachers why it's not done!

[StitchIsOurHero]

AWM--I love those tags!!! :cool1:

Yeah, but 1/2 of Wed. wasn't finished!!! I did a lot of it last night..so today will be better than it should have been!!!! :)

So, do tell.. did he finish his homework or is he busted at school?

Or bus keeps coming earlier and earlier in the morning even though she called and told me it would 7:05 since school starts @ 7:30 so she has enough time.. This week she has been 7AM all week... if this continues, I'm just going to drive them to school because that is NUTZ!:eek:

school starts at 7.30???!!!! :eek: i though we had it hard over here starting at 9! x

[Faerie]

When I was in high school we started at 7:25. Most high schools start between 7:20 and 7:40 here. Elementary is 7:45 to 8:15 and middle school 8:30-9.

[PrincessNancy96]

Our elementaries start 7:30-7:45... our middle school/high school start at 8:33 yes at 8:33... I had to check that twice!

My high school didn't start til 8:20...but we were at school by 7:30AM for the social hour.. We walked the halls, sit in the halls, and FRIDAY was very important for a meeting in the cafeteria for class yells!!!! Our class won from Freshman year up because we had all the big mouths! I wonder if schools anywhere still do that??

[AlexWyattMommy]

Ele is 9:00 to 3:30, Mid is 7:40 to 2:20, and High is 7:35 to 2:23.

Nothing in the handbook for Mid or High about yelling for classes.

[PrincessNancy96]

I don't think it was a big promotion.. I think it just started happening and it was well contained and the kids did it for fun, no fighting or arguing.. just seeing which class had the most spirit!!

It was always fun to see if the super sophomores could spell it right..
S-U- PER, Super, Super Sophomores!
However, it usually ended up.. S-UP-PER Super, Super Sophomore! Uh, hello, not the right spelling..
Let's see how did they go...
SEN-IOR Senior! Senior! Senior!
JUN-IOR Junior! Junior! Junior!
Now our school we called the freshman "Greenies" because they were new..
but I can't think how the chant went, darn it!

It was even better during homecoming week!!! Especially when the freshman class my Junior year mis-spelled Lion.. They spelled Loin and no one caught it not even their teacher advisor! I think that was on their spelling list the remainder of the year!

[bigsis1970]

Oh thanks - George that is Cricut correct?

[Faerie]

Yeah, it's the cart that comes with the baby bug

[happypooh]

AWM love those tags! So glad to get a mickey tag! I'll try and post later...just got pooh tags left to do and finally finished mulan and mickey.

Finally done...here are some pics..
first Mulan: cut at 2 inches on my cricut - hard work!

Nemo: I tried to copy nemo onto the transparency but it didn't work well as he was too see thru and Darla showed right thru him so instead I copied him onto cardstock and then cut him out and used glossy accents to make him shiny. Then I pasted him on top of the transparency and that looked more like the fishtank look I was wanting to go for!

Pooh: I embossed him with a brass stencil but he still didn't look right even after I put chalk on him so I used that glossy accents again to try and make him more shiny and to seal the chalk as it seemed to be moving. I really wanted to use a fuzzy bee but it really was too big and fat for the tag and would make your book way way too thick. I have cut a small opening for the smaller tag in the back of the second tag so that you can put things in there too as well as decorate the small tag yourself with a photo or something.

Mickey: cut on the cricut (I so love my bug!)

Hope you like them!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I am sooo happy that I get one of the Darla/Seagull ones. It does look just like she is looking into the tank were Nemo is.

Your other tags look great too. I bet doing Mulan was tedious work. You know we appreciate the effort because we understand.

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Wow more great tags!

I am in your group for Mulan LLLLove her!! and your group for Pooh! The Pooh tags are adorable.

Wow I love your Nemo tags. I really like the way it looks like she is looking in the tank. Great Job.

The Mickey tags turned out great. I love the papers you used.

These Tag Books are going to be adorable.:thumbsup2

[happypooh]

Love your tags BAMB! Esp that Jessie - she's darling!

[BernardandMissBianca]

Thanks, I'm going to post Tigger's other tag in a minute but I broke the rules. I had drew the bouncy lines. Hope that's ok!

Off to snap a pic.

[AlexWyattMommy]

You can draw the lines. I don't think that is breaking the rules. Using an ink pen to print out Tigger, that would breaking the rules. But if you used the cricut to cut out Tigger and then used a sparkly pen to outline the letters, I think that would within the rules.

[BernardandMissBianca]

Ok tell me what you think.

the other 1/2 of the tag is not finished yet. I need to make an insert.

[Mickster]

Holy cow! That is super cute! I wish I could get mine back now. :rolleyes1

I just want everyone to know that I was finishing mine as I heard about my dad and my mind wasn't very clever for that whole time. I apologize ahead of time...:guilty:

don't you dare apologize, your Dad is way more important then a bunch of tags. :hug:

[Mickster]

Thanks. He's doing pretty well. I talked to him yesterday. Everyone (meaning the doctors...) is encouraged. :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

You have some very serious stuff going on in your life right now AND you still managed to make your swap items way before the due date. Why would you apologize? I am sure your items are still very cute and Micksterish. :thumbsup2

[Mickster]

(Is Micksterish really a word? I love it if it is! :)) Here's another really good word - Voluntold! Have you ever been told to do something that you didn't want to do? You've been voluntold! Love that one. :)

[PrincessNancy96]

breaking the rules for bouncey lines should be okay!!! ;) I like when I have seen the rules broken for that... it'd be different if it were icky but those are just adorable!!!! :)

Hey!! I'm not in this swap... but all of us think FAMILY comes first!!! And I bet they are Micksterish and fantabulous!!! :)

don't you dare apologize, your Dad is way more important then a bunch of tags. :hug:

:banana: YOU tell her Sis!! Why is she apologizing.. family first, swap second! :)

Thanks. He's doing pretty well. I talked to him yesterday. Everyone (meaning the doctors...) is encouraged. :)

That is great to hear he is doing well!!! :flower3: We'll continue our prayers and pixie dust from here!!!


Everyone: these tags are awesome!!! ;)

[TPCShauna]

Bump so that those of us in the current swap can see some examples.

[lovely scrapper]

the "expression"? Is it a cartridge-if so for what machine?

[TPCShauna]

The Cricut Expression is the larger of the two Cricut machines. It cuts up to 12"x24". It takes all of the same cartridges as the baby bug.

Several ladies on here have them so you could probably post on the Scrapbooking board if you have questions.

[stenogoddess]

Hi everyone! Great tags, so creative. I have a question. I can see how to do the main tag and that part, but what are y'all using to do the accordian part of the tag for the journaling?? I don't think I have that on one of my carts, but you never know. I'm constantly finding new stuff on there!

Oh, and voluntold, that is a perfect word. My stepmother voluntolds me all the time. (and I'm 35. How does this keep happening?? :rotfl: )

I just cut the paper the size I needed and then used my corner rounder to round the corners.

[TinkerBean]

OMG - I am having Tag Performance Anxiety...

Jeepers those are all soooooo awesome (wicked awesome).

[BernardandMissBianca]

don't worry about it! You'll be fine. Just ask questions if you get stuck.

OK - first question here...http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee62/rhonda6699/smiley_mornincoffee.gifbear with me I'm still not awake

It looks like there are "middles" to the tags - an accordion type fold out - so the front of the tag and the back of the tag are like book covers?

So I wouldn't be cutting out one piece of cardstock and embellishing the front AND the back of this one piece, but rather two pieces of cardstock.

Am I making any sense? I think I need more caffienehttp://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee62/rhonda6699/smiley_drinkcoffee.gif

[BernardandMissBianca]

1 tag, decorate front and back. there will be 2 tags per set.

The white part of my accordions (or the flip and fold) are scored and folded and the bottom is adhered the the tag. The top of the accordion is either cut from the same paper as the tag or a coordinating color.

layers:
1 tag
2 accordion
3 cover from accordion
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i125/BernardandMissBianca/DSC_0002-8.jpg

flip and fold layers:
1 tag (same tag as the one above, just the other side)
2 flip
3 cover

make sense???

[TinkerBean]

I still think I need more caffiene...http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee62/rhonda6699/smile-crazyspin.gif

I know exactly how you feel:surfweb:

[AlexWyattMommy]

Think of the tag as your base. You put the other pieces on your base.

With the "accordian",it is a piece of paper. Folded two or three times depending upon the beginning length. Most fold two times giving you three surfaces. So you a big Z. put the bottom to the tag. Glue another piece of cardstock to the top of the Z. accordian.


Does that help?

[BernardandMissBianca]

that sounds way better! LOL

[TinkerBean]

Ok so - 2 tags make 1 right? with the z in the middle...embellish both.

Now they can be z folds or flips right?

I know I am dense - no wait - a dork:goodvibes

[TinkerBean]

I got my george font cart today!!!!and the mickey font cart shhhh...

[AlexWyattMommy]

You don't need the second tag. You can just use a rectangular piece of cardstock for the top of the accordian.

The flip top flaps are easier to make. I like those better myself. Let me take some photos of mine to show you. My are obviously not part of the tag.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Here is the front
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q179/alexwyattmommy/100_1820.jpg

Think of the patterned tag as your base

Here is the back
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q179/alexwyattmommy/100_1821.jpg

As you can see, it is folded over.

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q179/alexwyattmommy/100_1822.jpg

Here is the inside of the flip fold flap.

Just one tag to make this.

[TinkerBean]

I think I get it...

[TinkerBean]

I'll make sure that I post a pic of my first tag to make sure it's ok...

Thanks for being so patient with me you guys...

I supposed to be going out for dinner with some friends tonight - but all I want to do is play with paper (since I am going to the New England Flower Show all day tomorrow - I won't be able to scrap tomorrow either boo hoo)

[BernardandMissBianca]

I like the flip ups flaps better too. I like the accordion ones and did a bunch of those but you have to have something hold them down or they get floppy.
