Creative Journaling Meet-Up Series with Scrapper's Edge

August 12th – “Tag It Up!”  
               

Tags aren't just for gifts—they can be beautiful additions to your journal pages, memory keeping projects, and creative paper crafts! This month's Creative Journaling Meet-Up is all about transforming simple tags into mini works of art that can be used as journaling spots, page accents, bookmarks, tuck-ins, or decorative embellishments.

During this session, we'll explore a variety of techniques for creating layered, artistic tags using inks, stamps, patterned papers, stickers, and other favorite supplies. Whether you prefer clean and simple designs or richly layered creations, you'll discover fun ways to add texture, color, and personality to your projects.

We'll experiment with inking techniques, stamped backgrounds, collage elements, and creative layering to build tags that are both beautiful and functional. These versatile creations can be tucked into journal pockets, attached to pages, used for hidden journaling, or saved for future projects.

Ideas we may explore:

• Creating decorative and functional journal tags
• Layering papers, ephemera, and embellishments
• Inking techniques for backgrounds and edges
• Stamping images, sentiments, and patterns
• Using tags to highlight memories, quotes, and reflections
• Building a collection of ready-to-use tags for future projects

Things to Bring:

• Your journal or notebook
• Tag dies, punches, or pre-made tags (optional)
• Ink pads and blending tools
• Rubber stamps and acrylic blocks
• Patterned papers and cardstock scraps
• Stickers, labels, and ephemera
• Ribbon, twine, or fibers
• Pens, markers, and gel pens
• Any favorite journaling or paper crafting supplies

Join us for an evening of creativity, experimentation, and inspiration as we turn ordinary tags into beautiful pieces of art that can add personality and meaning to your journals and projects.
