Kayley Making Cookies with the new Stamp!

Last night we took our granddaughters Kayley and Maggie out to see some of the Halloween decorations in a guys yard, He has over 100 of these Halloween blow up things. At Christmas last year, he had 200 last year and told us that this year he will have 250.  Afterwards we stamped and baked cookies at their house and had a ton of fun!  I used the Shortbread recipe that comes in the box with the Cookie Stamps.  I made the dough at home and took it with us to save time.

Tea Dyed Tags Tutorial

I have been tea dying fabric for about 30 years now, so I got a wild hair and decided to try it on some of my tags. Here are some photos of how I did it and the results

I used some ready made tags from the office store, I cut a few out of SU cardstock with a die cut and my big shot
I used 2 cheap tea bags ( we do NOT drink tea or coffee I only keep it for dying fabric and now paper! lol)

This is an 8 cup measurer with water in it in the microwave because I didn't want to wait for it to boil on the stove- DO NOT put your tea bags in the microwave the tiny staple will freak out your microwave and start a fire!

 

Here are the tea bags "steeping" in the water

and here is the water after 30 minutes

45 minutes

after an hour I put in the tags

  and I always get my hands in the water to swish things around!

 
 
After an hour in the tea water, I removed them and realized that next time I will use instant coffee instead of the tea for a more dramatic effect. as you can see in the last photo the tags come out flat but I let them dry for about 12 minutes and then crumpled them for this effect. If you leave them longer than an hour the paper starts to seperate and get mushy.

I like the crumpled look, it is going to be awesome when I ink these and distress them more and add smooch spray!  I will probably flatten them a bit too after I distress them so they lay better on my projects.

I am pleased with the results and will try instant coffee next time so that they come out darker!

Have fun dying some tags. I would love to see what you create with them!
