Hey Creative Scrapbooker Fans! I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today sharing with you my vintage Thankful Tag perfect for that special someone in your life or to hang in any area of your home. The jumping-off point for my project was a variety of products from Prima Marketing Inc including their Autumn Sunset Collection. Walnut Stain Distress ink and Blending Tool from Ranger Ink. Stampers Anonymous tag. Variety of adhesive from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L You’ll want to grab a cup of your favourite Fall beverage as I share with you how to recreate my tag at home. To start, you’ll need to take a tag and reinforcement circle out of the package from Stampers Anonymous To start, trace the reinforcement circle from Stampers Anonymous for the tag onto the Beautiful Sunset patterned paper from Prima Marketing Inc. Cut the reinforcement circle out and make sure to punch the hole out in the middle of the circle. Cut a piece from the same patterned paper that measures 2 5/8” x 5 1/8”. Distress the edges of the 2 5/8” piece. Ink the edges of the paper and reinforcement circle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam from Ranger Ink. Place the tag from Stampers Anonymous onto the Falling Leaves patterned paper from Prima Marketing Inc. Trace the tag onto the paper and cut the tag out, make sure to punch the hole out at the top of the paper tag. Cut a piece from the same patterned paper that measures 3” x 5 ½”. Distress the edges of both pieces. Ink the edges of both pieces using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam from Ranger Ink. Cut out the Thankful For You Square and another card out of the Pumpkins & You patterned paper from Prima Marketing Inc. Cut the Thankful For You card down to 2 ½” x 3 ¾”. Distress the edges of both cards. Ink the edges of both cards using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam from Ranger Ink.

Ink the edges of both border strips using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam from Ranger Ink. Out of the Autumn Sunset Ephemera package, you’ll need three labels, two pumpkins and the acorns from Prima Marketing Inc. Cut the labels down as desired.
