I love tags! In fact, I use tags a lot on my scrapbook layouts for embellishing, as a layering element, to anchor photos, or to use as a spot of journaling. For today’s project, I turned my 3×4 inch photos into photo tags using a 6×6 inch patterned paper pad, a corner punch from We R Makers, and a simple office hole punch.

This particular design can be easily created using tools that you have in your stash! To create your own photo tags, you can…

• Use tag metal dies or tag punches.
• Cut tags using an electronic cutting machine.
• Cut tags by hand using your scissors.
• Use a tag punch board or similar tool to create a tag.

There is no need to purchase new tools to create this look. In fact, I challenge you to look at your tools and available materials (and your sharp creative mind), and see how you can create a similar design.

Here are the products from my stash that were used to create today’s layout!

And here is the project – a 12×12 inch scrapbook layout titled Spill The Tea!

I had so much fun making these photo tags and creating the appearance that they are hanging from the top of the layout!

I used patterned paper as the base of the photo tags along with a angle corner punch to notch the top corners. Black and white twine was added to the tags and adhered in place using washi tape on the back of the layout.

Once the tags were in place, I added layered embellishment clusters, a title, and journaling. I love how the look of product from different designers and manufacturers work so well together!

Be sure to check out the process video for this project, now available on the Victoria Marie YouTube Channel. I hope you are inspired to use your stash to create a similar design!
