Printed Tags Tutorial

In these times, when we’re all spending much more time at home than usual, we’re perhaps in need of some extra inspiration for our papercraft projects. So I thought I’d offer you all a free video tutorial on how to create beautiful printed tags, meant especially for people who aren’t very tech-savvy but do wish they knew how to do these things.

And the good news is, this is relatively simple! The only things you need are a computer, a printer, and some kind of word processor software, like Microsoft Word, Apple Pages or other kinds (though if you even know of the other kinds, you probably don’t need this tutorial anyway 😉 )

Let me know if you want me to do more of these “digital basics” tutorials, for instance, on how to find nice pictures and sentiments to print.

Be well, see you next time!

Merry Christmas to You All + Introducing a Tag Wallet Christmas Card

Have the Merriest of Christmases you all! 🎉 For that occasion I am giving you, if not a Christmas present, then at least a First: you get to see me in the video, not just my hands! 😃

Another extra is that you’re getting not one but two videos this week! For I’m also sharing a project with you. It’s a new design, and I’m calling it a Tag Wallet Card – for it’s a wallet, holding tags, that you can put into an envelope and send out as a card. And of course I’ve also written an easy to follow – and very affordable – tutorial for you, loaded with very clear step-by-step pictures. It’s already waiting for you in my webshop.

The thing is that I already uploaded the project share video a couple of months ago, in the beginning of October, so my Youtube subscribers have probably already seen it. But I couldn’t share it on my blog back then, since my mom is following this blog – Hi mom! 🙋🏻 – and this particular tag wallet was meant for her as the most elaborate Christmas card I have ever made 🙂

This project was also featured as a Guest Designer project for Crealies.

The beautiful papers I used are by Graphic 45, from the Winter Wonderland collection plus one sheet from the Time to Flourish collection. If you purchase my tutorial you’ll also get a supply list with the names of each individual design paper sheet.

So, enjoy at least one and perhaps even both videos, and especially your holidays! 🤶

 


How to print your tags

I really like using cute little tags for my projects – and I prefer printing text on them, since that looks more professional, is more readable and is quicker than mounting individual letters on a stamping block to stamp words and sentences.

People have asked me how I print text on the tiniest tags, since these tags are generally too small for a printer, therefore I thought I’d share what I’ve come up with.

So, here’s the video, enjoy printing your own tags from now on! 🙂
