Tag Love – Mixed media tags

Hello again TCW friends!

I recently purchased some beautiful large kraft tags, so I decided today to use a number of the NEW TCW ‘Valentina’ stencils and clear stamps designed by Valentina Harper to create some mixed media tags. Watch as they come to life!


– The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some product to create this project. The opinions I share are solely my own –

If you enjoy seeing a page come together quickly you can just go ahead and watch the process video below. Captions within the video will tell you what products I have used along the way.

Here is how the tags came to be…

1 – Beginning with blank kraft tags as a substrate, I used a variety of the NEW TCW ‘Valentina’ stencils along with pink, apricot and white acrylic paint. I used: TCW927 – Cactus Dahlia; TCW929 – Felicia Daisy; TCW930 – Cupped Daffodil; TCW931 – Collarette Dahlia & TCW932 – Peruvian Lily

2 – I sponged through the paint with makeup sponges, pink at the top, apricot and white towards the bottom and I mix the colours whilst I stencil.

When stenciling through a stencil, apply the paint to the sponge and then dab off the excess paint… almost all of it, in fact. A little goes a long way. You can always go over the stenciling a number of times with light paint layers to build up the color, rather than trying to stencil with one pass and have the paint leak under the stencil.

3 – Whilst the backgrounds are drying, Stamp out a variety of the NEW ‘Valentina’ clear stamps. I used sets: TCW2207 – Happy Sentiments; TCW2208 – Precious Sentiments; TCW2209 – Beautiful Sentiments; TCW2210 – Uplifting Sentiments

4 – I next do some mark-making with Stabilo Woodys in 2-3 colors and I edge each tag with Archival Ink – Potting Soil

5 – I fussy cut all the stamped images out… and colored them with pencils, watercolors and acrylic paint pen. I tried to keep my colors simple, using only 3

6 – I used double sided foam squares to mount the fussy-cut images onto the kraft tags

7 – I finish off each tag with a single word sentiment

I do hope you have enjoyed this walkthrough of my latest mixed media tag project . Hopefully, it gives you some inspiration to create your own page using the NEW TCW ‘Valentina’ stencils and clear stamps

We would love to see your projects made with The Crafter’s Workshop products. Use #TCWstencillove with your project pictures.

Until next time… have fun creating!
