Faux Metal Tags...



Hi everyone, on my last post I had mentioned Denise from smitten4glitter and her cupcake liner flowers.  Well, I'm back again with another one of her inspiring videos...Thank you so much, Denise.  I have been wanting to buy metal tags for some time now but I was too afraid they would be to dangerous because of it's sharp edges.  I'm so glad she thought of another way to make them and they look fabulous.   I can see doing alot more than just these tags.  I have some key, key holes, and other dies I can diffinitely use this on.  Check her out guys, she is full of awesome ideas and projects. 

My hubby found some faux metal liner from Home Depot.  It was a little bit more than what Denise had mentioned in her video but you do get 18in by 6ft of contact paper per roll.  It has an adhesive backing which is really convenient... I adhered it to chipboard and then ran it through my big shot to cut out the tag shape.  Then I ran it through it once more with the Cuttlebug Embossing Folder.  Super easy and a cool embellishment for any project. 

Thanks everyone for stopping by and have a great weekend.

Hugs, Friday
