SIGN UPS ARE THURSDAY APRIL 9th
Here is some general information. How to make the tags. Some examples of the different ways to embellish your tag and how to make the photo/journal spot side. And the different groups there will be. These really are easy to make. You can be a simple and elegant or as wild and bulky as you like. Because these will turned into books - you don't have to worry about putting something in the hole. No ribbon or eyelets needed. Feel free to ask questions.
These are just examples. I'm not saying these were any better than anyone else's, they were just easy to find in Nan and Mine's albums.

back - this is a flip top (think card attached to back of tag) with a page turner to hold it down. Not all the flip tops had something to hold it down.

back - this was like a little shutter book

back - one is flip and one is strictly an embellished mat
Due date is Tuesday, June 4, 2009. This is the date I need to receive your tags. Please mail by May 28th.
1. You choose your theme.
2. You will make 2 tags (so a total of 8 tags for your group).
• The Tags are 5” from the George Cricut Cart – the Scalloped tag. If you do not have a Cricut, please let me know, I can cut tags and there are others willing. If you have a Wishblade, I believe someone has the file for the correct size tag.
• Tags should be embellished.
• NO hand written lettering on ANY items. Please use computer fonts, rub-ons, stickers or stamps.
• NOTE: Embellished means using brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon/fiber, 3D stickers
(matted stickers/cliparts are okay too), specialty paper or embossing (dry/heat).
3. There will be only 4 people per group, so you can keep the production small per
group!
4. Special instructions:
• The tags will go horizontal for the book. (Tip of tag will face to
the left like we were opening a regular book)
• Use cardstock for the base of the tag and any patterned paper as an
embellishment.
• No need to double mat the tags.
• On the front of the tag (w/ hole to left) will be embellished w/ your theme.
• On the back of the tag (w/ hole to the right) will be for a
photo or journal box.
• You will be embellishing both sides since it will be a book.
5. Packing Instructions - use a Ziploc for each person and put everything for that person into their bag. Please label each bag with your name so we know who made each kit. You‘ll have 5 bags to enclose in the larger (gallon size) Ziploc bag. - be sure to include your name, your DIS name. On the larger Ziploc bag please put your mailing address on your bag and include return postage.
6. Mailing Instructions- Mail in Priority Mailer & include return postage. The last tag book, if you were in more than 2 groups, they did not fit in a flat rate envelope well. Please keep this in mind. Please don’t send metered or click-it/ship-it postage – some hostesses have had issues with these. On the outside of your box/envelope please include your DIS name and Swap name in the bottom corner!
7. Please PM me with your address.
8. Most importantly HAVE FUN!!

These pieces, as opposed to regular swap items, do not need a set amount of embellishing. You just need to make sure what you make you are proud of, will put your name to and is something you will use yourself. You do not need to ink the edges on these to equal one way of embellishing. Ink only if you like to ink.
