♥ Just Because ♥

Sometimes you just need to send a card...just because. Someone special in your life is down or not feeling right or "just because" you want to say hi!

I made this card with some beautiful background papers from the Pastel Rose Collage Sheet from the iralamija shop. You get 8 gorgeous backgrounds in this collage.

I also used the Shabby Butterflies Collage and the sentiment is from the Expressions No. 2 Collage.  The flowers are from Prima.

I hope you stop by the iralamija shop on Etsy! So many beautiful, shabby chic and vintage collages available!!  An the best part, you can use them over and over again!! ;)

                                             

Hope you have a wonderful day!

♥ Shabby Chic Tag ♥

Hi there! Stopping in today with a shabby tag and tutorial! It was made with some beautiful collages from the iralamija shop! Have I mentioned before, I could use these papers and images every day?! So pretty!!

I first started by re-sizing the Ledger Tags Collage. This gorgeous collage sheet actually comes with 10 different images that all fit onto an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock when printed and each tag measures approx. 4" x 2". But I wanted my tag to be bigger. So I re-sized it using photo editing software and it comes out looking like this. Most of the tags will be "off" the page. (Sorry I photographed it after I cut it out already. But you get the picture. Right? :)

Next, cut out the tag, trim the top by cutting off the 2 corners and distress the edges with a distresser tool.

Adhere seam binding ribbon and ruler trim to bottom of tag.

Next print out the Vintage Jars Collage Sheets. This collage comes with 9 adorable jar images and another sheet of embellishments. Trim out jar and embellishments.

Add embellishments to jar and then add a layer of Glossy Accents over the jar for a glassy look.

Next, print out and trim the sentiment from the Expressions No. 2 Collage.

Punch a hole onto top of tag for ribbon and twine. Add jar image, rose and sentiment.

Makes a pretty tag to adhere to a gift bag, mason jar filled with goodies or you can even adhere to a card front.

Stop by the iralamija shop today and look for yourself at all the beautiful collages! New things are being added to the store all the time! :)

                                             

Have a sweet day!
