Shamrock Seed Tags

Hi and Happy Wednesday. March sure is moving along quickly. With next Thursday being St. Patrick's Day, I thought I'd make some St. Patrick's Day tags to help celebrate.

These are made with my Luck of the Irish Shamrock Seeds printable that is currently listed on etsy. 

These were super easy to make. I simply printed the tags on white card stock, trimmed them out, inked the edges with a mossy/sage green ink. I used a circle punch and punched out the center circle from another tag (six tags print on each 8.5x11 page) and added some foam dots to the back to give it a little dimension and placed it over where the existing circle is.

I matted the back of the tag with some green textured cardstock. I also added ribbon to the top and bottom of the tag, eyelets and some cute little sparkly gems to give it some pop. I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. You can click the photo to see a larger view.

If you're interested in purchasing this file it's available in my etsy shop as an instant download, this is available as a pdf or jpg file and you'll have the choice to download whichever format you prefer (you can download both if you like) at www.ewenmeprintables.etsy.com or you can find them by CLICKING HERE.

Cute Winter Cocoa/Treat Envelopes

You simply print the file, trim off the excess and add a bit of glue to told it together.

The envelopes are sized to fit a package of hot cocoa mix but could also be used for other treats and goodies. These would make great teacher and bus driver gifts, a treat for the mail carrier or added to a gift basket.

They're so much fun to give and are guaranteed to make someone smile.

Embellished Christmas Hang Tags

Hi Friends,
Today, I'd like to share some really cute primitive tags I made using some of the Merry Christmas to All... labels. These labels can be found in my etsy shop and would be great for a lot of different projects. They'd be really cute for package ties, or even placed on a primitive tree.

These are large tags. With the backing, they ended up being 3.75 in. wide by 4.75 in. high. I love the size of them. They really get noticed.

I printed the label sheet and trimmed the images. Instead of leaving the images with square corners, I chose to angle the top corners. I inked the edges with an "espresso" colored ink pad and trimmed two colors of cardstock just slightly larger than my main image. I also inked the edges of the card stock.

As you can see I chose a different colors for each tag.

I added ribbons and eyelets to embellish.

On the blue tag, I added some black enamel dots. The blue strip is simply a scrap of cardstock that was left over.

These were super quick and simple to make.

You can find the file that I worked with in my etsy shop. It's available as an instant download pdf and/or jpg file. You can find it by CLICKING HERE.

Thank you for joining us today. I hope you're enjoying our projects.

Autumn Crows

Hey There,
Thank you for stopping by. Today I'd like to share some cute crow tags I whipped up using the file Hang Tags - Autumn Crows.


I printed my tags on photo paper and I really like the results. The colors just seem to pop on the glossy paper. Of course, if you know me, you know I can't just make a plain tag,  I almost ALWAYS put card stock on the back of my tags. I usually cut it a tad bigger than the tag... which is what I did here, so that it frames the tag.


Although, you can't really tell, I inked the edges of the tag and the card stock. I used an eyelet at the top with some red and black twine looped through.

I'm happy with the way these turned out, although, I'm not real sure these pictures do them justice. If you click on the pictures you'll get a much better look.

Come back and see us again!

Having Some Halloween Fun

Hi Folks,
Today, I'm sharing some tags I made with the file: Hang Tags - Halloween Fun. These were super easy to make, lots of fun and I think they turned out super cute.

All I did was simply print the tags on white cardstock and trim them out. I backed them with a rusty/maroon colored cardstock which was cut the same width of the tag but just a tad larger in length.

I just used a glue stick to put them together, after that I punched a small hole in the top and added a jute tie. Like I said... super easy to make and you can see for yourself how cute they are. (click on the image for a larger view)

Hope you're enjoying your week!

Welcome to the Ewe-N-Me Printables Valentine Blog Hop! So glad you're joining us.

Today, I'm sharing a card I made with one of the free printables you'll receive if you follow the guidelines (listed below) of the hop.

For this card, I used brown kraft cardstock for the base and some cute pink/fuschia scrapbook paper as the main background. I made the tag with the same theme  of brown kraft and fuschia.

I love twine, so I had to add some to the card. The letters LOVE and YOU are cut out using my Silhouette Cameo.

As you can see I did some inking on the edges to give it an aged look.

Tweet Heart Tags

Hi, it's Deena here, showing off some cute tags I whipped up the other day. It only took a few minutes to finish them, that's just how easy they are.

I used the printable file Hang Tags - Tweet Hearts which feature some really cute valentine birds by Cheryl Seslar. I printed the tags on white card stock.

I added blue card stock trimmed a bit larger than the tag as a backing, some twine and eyelets to embellish.

I think these will make cute little valentines to give to friends, teachers and co-workers. They'd be nice with a Giradelli chocolate square attached to the back too.

Magnetic Bookmark Made From Tags

Hello... Today, I'm showing you a cute little tutorial on how to make a magnetic bookmark.

I printed the file, Hang Tags - Sunflowers on white card stock, trimmed two the tags and inked the edges with a coffee colored ink pad.

After that I cut a piece of brown cardstock 2 inches wide by 9 inches long. I folded the cardstock in half lengthwise, then I glued the tags to the brown cardstock. Place them so the top of the tag is near the fold and try to line them up the same on both sides.

The next step was adding the magnets. I attached two small magnet pieces together, making sure they attached to each other. Then, I glued them both to the inside of the open end of the folded cardstock. I left them attached while gluing so the would line up correctly. Gluing one side and then the other.

Once the glue was dry, I added eyelets to each side of the tag where the printed eyelet was... it was a bit tricky to make sure they were lined up, but I used bigger sized eyelets and it helped to cover up the flaws. After that, I threaded some ribbon thru the eyelets.

The bookmark is now ready to use, simply place it over the top of a few pages and let the magnets grab on. You can turn your book upside down and it won't fall out.

Printing on Fabric Using Freezer Paper

Have you ever wanted to print images on fabric? Here's a great tutorial to help get you started.

Things you'll need...

freezer paper

muslin

inkjet printer

iron

scissors

 

~ please read all instructions before you begin ~

Cut a piece of freezer paper at 8.5" x 11" 

Iron the shiny side face down on a piece of muslin.

Once the paper is attached to the muslin, trim the muslin to the same size as the paper, 8.5" x 11".

Be sure to check for stray threads and trim away any excess fabric that isn’t bonded to the freezer paper along the edges.

Place the fabric sheet in the paper tray of your printer, it’s best to have some other paper below the fabric sheet – it just helps the fabric sheet to feed thru better.

Now, print your image.

You’ll probably have to play with the settings on your printer to achieve the quality you’re after. Once you figure out what works best, I suggest that you write it down so you’ll know for next time.

Once the fabric is printed, let it sit for a minute or two until the ink is dry. Gently peel away the freezer paper backing.

A Note About Ink:
Some inks for inkjet printers are not colorfast so you’ll need to test that out, you don’t want your project ruined if it should get wet.
I use an Epson printer and Epson Durabrite ink which is permanent. I’ve even washed the printed fabric and it still looks great!

A Note About Freezer Paper:
Freezer paper is found in most grocery stores in the same aisle as foil, plastic wrap, etc. Make sure it says FREEZER paper. Do not use wax paper, it’s not the same thing and wax paper won’t work.
I like to use pre-cut 8.5”x11” sheets of freezer paper. It really saves some time. I buy mine from www.cjenkinscompany.com They also have pre-treated printable fabric and fabric sheets.

The Fine Print:
I have never had any problems using this method of printing. However, I will NOT be responsible for any damages that may occur to your printer by using this method of printing. If you follow these directions you are printing at your own risk.

The images being printed for this tutorial are from www.EweNmePrintables.com
