Explore Hangtag Magnet

Now this is a simpler Hangtag Magnet I’m calling Explore. Not quite as busy as the others I’ve made so far, but I like the subtlety of it.

Using the small sized plain hangtag, measuring 1-1/2″ x 3-1/4″, I first used my usual grungy sauce mix to get the tag grungy’d up. It always creates that aged appearance that I love so much. I also used some walnut stain Distress Ink to distress the edges a bit. Then I stamped on a mesh background texture in brown ink, and added the key image in black ink on top of that; and I stamped on the word explore in black ink as well. I finished it off with the two golden-colored rhinestone gems on the key.

Another altered art creation as I was on a roll creating my new hangtag magnets is this, Dream Hangtag Magnet.

My 1-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ hangtag started out plain, but I did my usual grungy magic to grungy it up. I always like the way a grungy tag looks! I also added a bit of rose-colored Distress Ink to give it just a subtle hint of color. Then I stamped on the image of the woman, which is from Paper Artsy. She fits perfectly on the tag, don’t you think? Then I finished it off with a pink butterfly photo and a pink rhinestone gem.

Paris Hangtag Magnet

I have a fondness for creating things with a Paris theme…probably because that’s one of the cities I dream about going to someday. So this Hangtag Magnet goes nicely with that theme.

Again I started with a plain hangtag measuring 1-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ that I grungy’d up using my special grungy sauce mix. Then I stamped on a Paris-related image using a stamp I got from Paper Artsy. I love their stamps! And this one has a definite collage look to it. I also used some blue Distress Ink here and there to give it just a hint of color (not easy to see in the picture). Then I added the Paris sticker and a blue rhinestone gem. Voila! The Paris Hangtag Magnet.

Au revoir.

Love Hangtag Magnet

Have been busy working in the studio making art for me, and for the upcoming online store. One of things I created was something new for me: Hangtag Magnets. They are magnets made from altered hangtags. I am loving them! The first one I created is called Love. I’m also using this for today’s challenge at Tag Tuesday, the theme of which is Faces.

Love Hangtag Magnet

I started with a plain hangtag, which is 1-1/2″ x 3-1/4″, and I grungy’d that up with my own grungy sauce mix. Then I used a soft copper metallic ink and stamped on a doily design for some texture. Next I distressed the edges with some Distress Ink. Then I took an inchie size vintage photo of couple and adhered it to some distressed cardstock paper. I finished it off with the word love and a golden rhinestone gem.

I’m going to do a whole series of these…some for my new store, and some just for me (and friends!). So fun to make.
