Tape and House Tag Tutorial

Hello friends! I have a tutorial using a fun mix of surfaces today: design tape, Distress crayons, patterned paper and inky paper.

We have a Wild With Washi theme this week at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. I hope you will play along with us, and don't miss the project by our July guest designer Megumi aka Ink-Lady Blue.

The background of my tag is completely covered with Tim Holtz Design Tape. The design tape rolls have such interesting designs and they look great together. I also cut the sentiments from design tape and built a fun little scene with dies.

Start by applying matte medium on a tag, to make sure that the tape is stuck down well. Then cover the tag with design tape. Fold the edges around the back for a finished look.

Add some color with Distress Crayons. Smear them out with your finger.

Die cut the tall house from Tim's Paper Village set, using heavystock paper. Later, I die cut the roof from black kraft stock paper instead.

Ink with Candied Apple. No need to ink the back since that won't be visible.

Stamp the house with the Simon Says Stamp Wood Planks background stamp and Schoolhouse Red ink.

Color a piece of acetate with Latte and a tiny bit of Gold Mixative alcohol ink.

Glue the acetate to the inside as windows and add a cheese cloth curtain. Assemble the house and add a street number. I dyed cheese cloth with Peeled Paint Distress Spray Stain to create grass.

Die cut one of the trees from Tim Holtz Funky Trees from Backdrop papers and the trunk from brown kraft stock paper.

Ink the edges and assemble. I used foam tape for the front pieces. Cut words from the Chatter Design Tape.

The design tape creates an interesting background and the Distress Crayons bring it all together.

The tree trunk was sanded slightly to reveal the core.

Add more sentiments cut from design tape and the tag is finished.
