Print 2 Cut

3 Fall Tags – Tag #2

This tag combines creating some shapes in SCAL, using some older tools and materials as well as some digital paper from Echo Park.


The crow and cup are made using and combining some basic shapes, detailing with a pen and some Wink of Stella. The cup is heat embossed using a long retired Stampin’ Up! stamp circa 2005 (Fun Filled). Then the color is added to the cup base and handle. Facial features are water colored and popped up with some foam tape – the piece behind the crow and cup is a print 2 cut element that is also splattered with a little bit of color and a water brush. It was fun using the line found in the SCAL library and duplicating it to fill in the row. Save as a group – then you can easily duplicate and center each of the groups as needed around the edge of the rectangle.
The back piece is a simple rectangle filled with some digital paper with some eyelets added in each of the four corners. That Silent Setter came in very handy again for the small eyelets!
As a final touch, a cute little sentiment strip to finish things off after placement on the kraft gift bag.

3 Summer Tags for 2025 – Tag 3

It's the final day of this year's reveal.  I've been impressed with all the tags that have been shared on our Facebook page for this challenge.  Looking forward to seeing today's grouping!  

Lemonade and some variations of lemonade are my favorite drink of the season.  I decided to create something that reflected that for my last tag this year.  The  mason jar file is from SVGCuts.  I've had it for ages and I'm really happy with how this one cuts and is so adaptable.

I think it's fun when you can use your stash to create something fun and playful.  I did use pattern fill for the straw (a simple narrow rectangle) and cut a second mason jar shape which was altered to add a layer of lemonade to the original base shape.  The cap is a scrap of some patterned paper that I've added some yellow ink to to have the background not be quite so stark.  The ice cubes are cut from vellum and I've added some lemon slices made of polymer clay to the bottom of the jar with a heavy body glue.  I'd originally planned on doing a shaker, but decided against that after the fuse tool wasn't doing a clean shape for me this go round.  I'll try again in the future to use the fuse tool as it's worked with previous projects with no problem.  I added a hanger of cotton twine to the back of the tag and there's sufficient space for some personalization on the back .
