Journey Tag - FabScraps

Mixed Media Travel Tag by Dana Tatar for FabScraps

Hi! I'm sharing a tag I created with the Journey In Time Collection for FabScraps today. I though it would be fun to create a little window scene with this fun mix of products. My husband travels frequently for work and often times his plane will fly directly over our house. This tag represents the view from the ground.

How to Mix Stamps and Metal Embellishments on a Travel Tag by Dana Tatar

FabScraps offers a fantastic selection of clear stickers and metal embellishments. I gathered these elements together to form a fun floral border across the bottom of the chipboard window.

How to Use Vellum to Create a Window on a Tag by Dana Tatar

This die-cut airplane comes in the Journey In Time Card Kit and is double-sided. I used the less busy side here. I cut the "Journey" sentiment for this tag from the title strip of a piece of patterned paper. These gorgeous collections come to me all the way from South Africa, so I try to use every little bit of paper for my projects!

For this tag you will need:
Journey In Time Journey (C87 002)
Journey In Time Card Kit (MC87 001)
Journey In Time Postage Stamps Clear Stickers (ST87 001)
Journey In Time Window Chipboard (DC87 011)
2 - FabScraps Antique Brass Filigree Embellishments - Bird on Branch (E6 008)
Green Cardstock Tag (5 1/4 x 2 5/8 inches)
Cardstock (Kraft, White)
Vellum
Blue Ribbon (Striped, Floral)
Brown/White Baker's Twine
4-inch Paper Doily
Dye Ink (Brown)
Adhesive Foam

Directions:

1. Cut a 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch rectangle from the Journey patterned paper. Apply brown dye ink the edges of the patterned paper. Attach the patterned paper to the front of the tag.

2. Color the Window Chipboard with brown ink. Glue a piece of vellum to the back of the chipboard window. Glue the window chipboard to the front of the tag.

3. Attach the 2 Bird on Branch Filigree Embellishments across the bottom of the chipboard window.

4. Apply 3 of the floral stamps from the Postage Stamps Clear Stickers to white cardstock. Cut the stickers from the cardstock, back with adhesive foam, and layer along the bottom of the chipboard window.

5. Apply brown dye ink to the edges of a die-cut airplane. Attach the airplane, patterned side down, to the top of the window chipboard with adhesive foam for dimension.

6. Cut the word "Journey" from the title strip of the Journey patterned paper. Apply brown dye ink to the edges of the word and glue it to the top right side of the tag.

7. Cut a piece of blue floral ribbon to length and glue along the left side of the tag.

8. Cut a 4-inch paper doily in half. Apply brown dye ink to the edges of each doily piece. Glue the doily pieces to the back of the tag, slightly off center from each other.

9. Loop a piece of striped blue ribbon through the hole in the top of the tag. Tie a piece of brown/white Baker's twine into a bow around the blue ribbon to secure it to the tag.
