Antique German book page - used to make a simple tag.

Supplies:
Antique paper
Cardstock paper - acid free (light brown)
Tag punch, round punch (1/2") and a single hole punch (small).
Bakers twine (black)
Washi tape (black lace design)
Glue - or xyron machine

Use tag punch to punch identical shapes from antique paper and cardstock paper. Punch a round shape from the cardstock paper.
Glue the cardstock tag and small circle shape, or run it through your xyron machine to glue. (As your antique paper may be fragile, it's better to glue the cardstock.)
Carefully adhere the antique paper tag shape onto the glued cardstock. Smooth it down. Add the cardstock circle to the top of the tag, as shown in the photo. Punch a hole through the middle of this circle with your single, small hole punch.
Use twine or ribbon to finish off the tag. Cut a length, knotting the 2 ends together. Feed the bottom of the loop through the hole and pull the twine length back, through the bottom of the loop (see photo).
Cut washi tape the width of the tag, and adhere to the bottom are on the tag.



Antique German book pages - ephemera pack/bundles - now available.

I've put up some antique paper bundles on Etsy - great for art/craft projects. These are in old German font. From booklets printed late 1800s, early 1900s in the USA. Some have advertising which is interesting and unique. Great inspiration.

Sharing a technique from when I used to teach. 2-tone paper with rubber stamp. 2 contrasting pieces of paper (e.g. lime/black). Rubber stamp the middle of one (lime) with same color (black) as the other paper. Cut the lime paper in half to the top of the rubber stamp, but leave a small margin around the outside of the stamp shape to the bottom, then cut remaining paper in half. Glue the stamped paper on top of the other sheet. An easy 2-tone eye-catching effect for multiple use - tags, journals, embellishments, etc.

Free printable bookmark/tag for Mother's Day - Victorian + Quote

Just on a whim, after finding this quote in an old 1914 book that once belonged to my Aunt, I decided to put together a matching graphic in a meaningful way.
Fortunately I found a Victorian image that seemed to match, and so made this antique-type look - can be made into tags or bookmark. Click on the image for full size to print.
Can be used for personal projects as much as you like. Can be used in commercial projects, e.g. art journals, etc. But cannot be used for selling this image/quote in digital form, either as is, or altered. Thank you. If you need other permissions or are unsure, please email me.

Enjoy!
And Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's out there!
