Don’t forget to follow us on YouTube HERE so that you don’t miss any of the Tag Team Instructional Videos. Here are the Tag Team Members and their individual thoughts about Tags and Tag Making…

Anna Gaitanou Hollingworth from Leximbue Journals

Anna shares, “I have discovered that in a tag I can create a microcosm of a theme contained within itself. I love the challenge of creating living and breathing eco systems within my work.”

Heather Naggy from Ruby & Pearl xo

“Tags are one of my favorite elements to create for a journal. I often use them to incorporate a pop of color or bold pattern into my page. I also really love to use them as pockets and tuck spots. They are beautiful and versatile little works of art,” Heather says.

Jane Chipp from Willow Blue Vintage

Jane enthuses, “What I like about making tags is the challenge of creating something interesting and unique on a really small scale. Unlike a journal, where you have numerous pages to explore a style or theme, a tag has just a few inches so every element has to really work hard to get your idea across.”

Lisa Aktug from Curiosities Home

Lisa shares, “When creating tags, I tend to focus on a color palette first and then look for ephemera and small elements to add in that overall color scheme. I also love to find unexpected uses for tags, such as in home decor projects or for gifting.”

Rebecca E. Parsons from The Bookery

Rebecca says, “I love creating unusual, multi-layered tag designs that are easy to make, but look impressive. Just like in my bookmaking, I use several methods (i.e., origami, faux finishes, momigami, weaving, etc.) to create visual and literal texture and drama.”

Terri Kolte from The Gypsy Magpie

“Tags have always been one of my favorite things to make. It’s such fun to turn them into tiny pieces of art with little snips of trim and beautiful images. Embellished with treasures like pieces of old jewelry, vintage stamps, or pieces of hardware… even better!” Terri enthuses.

Come say HELLO over on our YouTube Channel HERE. Each week our top-notch designers will be creating gorgeous tags, and showing you how they do it, using images from the TGF Blog and/or our Premium Membership Site. These are sure to inspire your own Tag Making projects. I hope you will check out the links to their sites and social media pages. I am sure you will want to follow all of them!
