This technique is a follow up to the Altered Envelopes technique. They are very
similar and complement each other well. Altering tags is a great way to use
plain tags, dressing them up to match the theme and style of your project. You
can also use them alone as gift tags or on a card! They are fairly simple, with
no real rules to follow. Just embellish until you feel like the tag is
finished!
Supplies:
Flutter By Stamp Set (The Angel Company)
Provence Petal Point Ink Pad (Colorbox)
Green Cardstock 12 x 12 (Bazzill)
Dark Brown Cardstock 12 x 12 (Bazzill)
Cream Cardstock 8½ x 11 (Provo Craft)
Sublime; Gumballs, Cinnamon, Pistachio Paper 12 x 12 (Basic Grey)
Sublime Tags (Basic Grey)
Antique Spiral Clip (Making Memories)
Flower (Prima)
Ribbon (Michaels)
Brads (Bazzill)
Rub-on Transfers, Center of Attention, Bordeaux mix (Heidi Swapp)

Instructions:
1. Cut and Sand the edges of your papers as follows:

2. To alter your tag: Stamp the images randomly on the Circle tag. Apply the
layers of papers and cardstocks. Attach the flower with a brad to the accent
strip before adhering. Apply the rub-ons to the Circle Tag. Thread ribbons
through the Large tag and the Circle tag and staple in place. Attach the spiral
clip. You can embellish them even more with ribbons, charms, etc. It is so much
fun to dress them up! Attach the photo to the bottom.
3. Assemble your page, without the tag,
as shown. Stamp images randomly on the Gumball Paper. Stamp images down the
length of the Cinnamon Accent Strip. Apply the rub-ons to the Top Accent Strip.
4. Stamp randomly on the page. Attach the Large Tag. Apply rub-ons to the
photos.
I love altered tags! They are so much fun! They are a great way to add interest
to any page!
