"Dreamroad" Tag by Karen Jiles

 

Hi there,

I’m Karen, one of the new Craftwell Design Team Members, sharing  this “Dreamroad” tag created with the Cabbage Rose embossing folder. I love the deep impressions of this pattern.  It provides just the right depth of texture for this project. I coordinated the Cabbage Rose embossing folder with some vibrant inks, flowers, pearls and dyed ribbon. I’m adding a tutorial below:

Supplies:

Cut N Boss by Craftwell

Craftwell Embossing Folder: Cabbage Rose

White Cardstock

Chipboard

Gesso

Ink Sprays

Flowers

Crocheted Doily

Pearls

Ribbon

Dreamroad Sign

Cropadile

Trimmer

Glue Gun

Mini Attacher

Tutorial:

 

Step 1: Spray inks onto 8 ½ x 11 sheet of white cardstock. Let dry.

 

 

Step 2: Place full sheet of inked cardstock into Cabbage Rose embossing folder. Close the folder and insert into Cut N Boss by Craftwell machine.

 

Step 3: Remove the embossed paper from the machine and the embossing folder. Notice the deep impression. The ink combo helps accent the detail in the embossed pattern well.

 

Step 4: Trim the embossed paper down to desired tag size.  I chose 3 ¼ x 6 ¾ as the size that I wanted to work with.

Step 5: Distress the embossed tag with vintage photo ink and layer the tag onto chipboard.

 

Step 6: Punch hole in the top center of tag using a Cropadile and attach ½ of a crocheted doily using a mini attacher.

 

Step 7: Adhere resin frame and flowers to tag.

 

Step 8: Add pearls, Dreamroad sign, butterfly, additional flowers and dyed ribbon.

 

Step 9: Tap gesso over the tag with a paintbrush and highlight the flowers and ribbon with gesso. Continue embellishing as desired.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope that this tag has inspired you!
