For this project you will need light coloured fabric, ink (I used Staz-On) and your favourite myStamp BOX stamps.
My husband travels often with his work and we sometimes leave little notes for one another to find while he is away. I decided to use that as my theme today and create a few fabric tags to have on hand for the next time he’s on the road.
To create the first tag, I simply used two colours of Staz-On ink and stamps from the She Says - He Says and Merry Word Jumble sets to stamp my message. I sewed the fabric to cardstock and attached the ribbon detail.
The next tag uses the She Says – He Says set again in conjunction with Oval Office. I put the eyelet on the opposite side this time so I can attach it to the back of the previous tag and create a little mini book.
The last page of my little book allows for some handwritten journaling. The stamped lines are from the Just Add Notes set.
Used separately or bound as a mini, this project makes a great little “just because I love you” gift.
While I was playing with fabrics, I couldn’t stop without making one with a butterfly. It has nothing to do with my theme, but I wanted to make it just to have on hand for a future project. I pulled out my Colorful Companions set and created this. I love the look of the burlap paired with the muslin.
So there it is, a quick and easy idea for creating your own custom tags. Just make sure you load plenty of ink on your stamp and apply firm pressure when stamping on fabric.
Until next time,
Loev these tags Tracey, you never let me down with your amazing ideas and wonderful work!!!!
These are adorable – I have to try this.
Cute designs Tracey!
Such a fun idea
Wow Tracey that is an AWESOME idea!
What a sweet mini that will make! And i’m sure B will be thrilled when he opens his suitcase to this next time he’s away!
Love the tags and the use of fabric.
What kind of fabric do you use???
Hi Cindi,
The fabric I used in these examples is called muslin, I believe. Any light coloured cotton fabric will do. In fact, if I had canvas, I would have tried that as well. Hope that helps.
This is sooooooo very cool and extremely clever. I have tons of ideas from this now!
What a cute idea!!!!
