Just a Note Tag Tutorial

Hello and welcome to my blog! I have been picking a lot of berries lately and also made some black currant jam. Today I have a tag to share using Simon Says Stamp new Just a Note release.

Embossing folders are great for adding either a lot or just a little texture to a background. Here I used the new Gradient Dot folder, which gives a really nice effect. I tend to like anything with circles or little dots. The flowers were made with the Simon Says Stamp Fresh Cut Floral Stem die and inked with the two sets of small cubes of Pawsitively Saturated Inks that are included in the Just a Note release.

The new Just a Note release is full of versatile new dies, stamps, stencils, inks and more.

Die cut the flower twice from heavystock paper.

The cube sets are great for these types of projects where you want shades of the same color. I used the Blue Seas set for the flower to the left and the Blue Skies set for the flower to the right.

The stems and leaves were inked with Tropic and Aegean.

Shape the leaves and petals with Tim Holtz Shaping Kit and glue them together.

Smear three lines of Distress Ink on a non-stick craft sheet and mist with water. Press the tag into the ink and immediately emboss in the Simon Says Stamp Gradient Dot folder.

When the tag is dry, ink with brown shades of Distress Ink.

I also embossed a strip of Tim Holtz Backdrops Vol. 5 paper. Sizzix Gold Luster Wax was applied to both the tag and the blue paper. You only need a little.

The Pawsitively Saturated Inks are great for dying ribbon and here I dyed three pieces of May Arts ribbon with three of the inks used on the flower. The dyed ribbon will coordinate with your project.

If you want to, you could have embossed the flowers with the folder too.

Sequins from Perfect Day were glued to the tag with Simon glue and I also used sentiment strips from Sentiment Strips Teacher, also from the Just a Note release.

The Gold Luster Wax gives a great shine to the tag.

Just a Note was die cut from heavystock paper and inked with two of the colors used for the flower. I also added some lace trim. 

The background gives a lot of texture, without overpowering the flowers. 

Have fun crafting!

Thank you so much for stopping by here today! 

Happy crafting!
