Asian Tag Book

This is a tag book I enjoyed making: it's RED - surprise! This tag book holds (Lucky) 8 tags inside. The finished measurement for this project is 2-5/8" x 5-1/2" x 1".

Remove the band: words "Friend" exposed. Words are embossed in Gold and framed in Naturals Ivory and Black.

Front view: eight tags inside

Overview:

Back is stamped and stippled using black ink. The Stipple Brush has retired so a subsitute to get the same effect is using a Stamping Sponge. I use my Stipple Brush because it is handy.

Side view:

Here's a close-up of the tags in side (details further below):

Tag holder stamped with the same flowers using Black Ink. Stipple brush used with Black ink randomly spaced. Stamp, emboss Gold coin: punch out the center with 1/4" square punch, then punch out with 1-1/4" circle punch. Attach with dimensionals.
