Hey Hey Roadies!

Celia from Paper Beats Rock Designs back to share my process for making this Tag Flip featuring Snarks and Rec Vol. 2 and Vol. 1.

After I picked out what papers I wanted to use, I diecut enough to cover both sides of each tag. I also cut each tag out of 110lb cardstock to stabilize them, and sandwiched them between the patterned papers.

Then I went to my Snarks and Rec stamps and selected the sentiment I wanted for each tag. I stamped them all on vellum and cut them out. I used a small stitched heart die to cut out the "friends, waffles, work stamp" and layered it up with a pencil stamp from my stash, as well as a bundle of thread.

The second tag went to everyone's favorite mini horse- not a pony!- Lil Sebastian. I grabbed his icon from Snarks and Rec Vol 1 and the lyric from Andy's song from Vol. 2 and layered them on a diecut star and thread bundle.

For tag #3, I went with a Ron Swanson quote from Vol. 2 and his icon from Vol. 1. I wanted to use grey thread on this one, which I do not own, so I went to my inks and slid a light blue thread across the pad while dabbing it and holding it down with an inking sponge. To make the tag even more masculine I stapled the sentiment down.

My fourth tag was all Leslie! I stamped a bunch of waffles from Vol. 1 with Distress Oxides, colored their butters yellow, and used a couple of bundles of thread behind them. I knew her quote from Vol. 2 wasn't going to fit across the tag so I cut one edge to a banner and let it spill off a little bit.

The last tag was Tom Haverford inspired. There isn't an icon for him, so I went to my stash a found this dude in a suit that reminded me of him. I also stamped out a car from my stash, fussy cut them both out and layered them on tread too. 

To finish off the tags, I added some rhinestones and pearls.

This was super fun to make and I'm loving how it turned out. I think I may add more to it later to get Donna and April in there too, but for now it's all done!

Let me know what you think of if and make sure to jump over to the Ink Road Shop and pick up these uber cool and sentiment packed stamp sets!
