DIS Tags from Home Depot Kicked up a Notch!

[scrapbookersdis]

Here is the big brother to the little lime green Home Depot paint chip tags that DIS members sport at Disney World. (The one on the right is of the Home Depot paint chip variety.)

If you spot one of these big ones in the parks in the month of May, please say hello. (Though you may suddenly find yourself in the middle of a photo shoot for a new Disney World Guide!)

My Home Depots are completely out of the lime green DIS Mickey tags...is that a Bazzill cardstock color you used for your larger tag? I'm a scrapbooker, and can make a Mickey head - but I want the right color.

Love the font too - how did you do that? TIA!

BTW, we will be there 5/7-5/11 (with a few more trips this year, so I'll get my use out of any tag I make....)

You could download the font from the following web site:

The font I used on the HD tags is from:

Among others, there is also a fantastic font there called Ravenscroft that is *perfect* for Haunted Mansion scrapbook pages. You can download the fonts for free unless you want them for commercial use (in which case Justin charges a small fee on the fonts he designed himself).

Hi bazzanoid. I'll trade you some HD paint chips for a box of Mr. Kiplings' Fondant Fancies (I wish the Epcot UK pavilion would start selling them!). Just kidding -- I'll send you off some HD chips if you want to PM me your address.

Okay - these are pretty cool - - so to get one I just go to a home depot store and look by the paint samples? Or do I need to ask for assistance?

 

[scrapbookersdis]

Yep, you just drop by your local Home Depot and pick up a couple of complimentary paint chips. The lime greens are in the Buzz Lightyear range of colors. I'm not sure if there is a consensus on the correct DIS shade -- but you can't go wrong with Alien Green or Sonic Boom (a little darker). Get two samples for each tag you want to make.

The tags will be sturdier if you don't remove the backing. Trim around Mickey's head on the two chips and glue them back to back. Use a Sharpie to inscribe it with "The DIS" or print it in a fancy font (on lime green paper!), then cut and paste onto the tag. You can self-laminate by covering the tag on both sides with heavy, clear packing tape (then re-trimming the edges). Use a single hole punch at the top of the tag (or on an ear), and you're in business. You can use a spare mini chain from a keychain to run through the hole or a lime green satin cord from the fabric store.

Too bad we don't have a Home Depot here in the boondocks! Cute! I'll be there May 7-14th (think I'm supposed to keep an eye out for you at CM on the 7th?)

Where in MS do you live? I'm also a nurse in MS. I could see if I could find a chip and send it to you in time for your trip!

Too cool. You have inspired me. Next trip to WDW, I am wearing Dis tags! (or at least tying them to the stroller!
