[@carolmacey7531]

I know this is 6 months old, but I had to pop in and say I think this is one of my favorite projects of yours. Excluding Gretchen and Gunther, of course.

I'm not a huge fan of yellow, but my great aunt Liz loved seeing me in it. As a child, every piece of clothing she gave me was yellow. Between Aunt Liz, being Team Instinct in Pokémon GO and Hufflepuff in Harry Potter, I've grown to appreciate yellow.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

You’re welcome Janet 😘😘

[@sybilmccullers6291]

Yes, the yellow one is beautiful, and yellow isn't my favorite color to work with either. They are all beautiful, but I think I actually prefer the yellow one. Thanks for sharing your great ideas.

Hi Margreth! They all turned out awesome! I agree the yellow one is stunning!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks sweetheart 💛

[@emmkaa2099]

LOVE watching you create Margreth, you're always so inspiring! Yes, ticking! It's an all cotton material generally used to hold pillows and mattresses together in the manufacturing process. I live in a small town in Southern California, US and can't get it here but I do remember selling it at the fabric store I used to work at in a larger city. Good luck finding some, Lovey! Hugs, MK 🤗❤️🤗

[@SevenplazaCreative]

The fabric was never used over here. So it’s nowhere to be found 😢

[@randomjournalbitsdawnboss]

I just love your birds! The tags are really wonderful. I am not a fan of yellow either but that tag is spot on, it is just wonderful. Thank you.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

[@SevenplazaCreative]

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Margreth, lovely collaged tags with pockets, they came out so pretty. I feel the same with the colors red & yellow, only use them in junk journal ephemera. TFS

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks sweetheart 😊

[@lindastepp8094]

We call it ticking in the USA. In the old days they used ticking for covering bed mattresses. You can purchase it from Amazon.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Unfortunately not from the Dutch or European Amazon 😢

[@lisamendoza-rodriguez1968]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations! ❤

[@tatianar1313]

Beautiful tags! I agree, the yellow one is stunning (and I also am not a big fan of the color yellow) and very cheery. 😀

[@SevenplazaCreative]

☺️😘

[@judiemjacobson4613]

These are very creative and beautiful. Such a clever idea. I'm making an eligible and I think I'll try making one with owl

[@maureenwilson6951]

Oh this have come together so well must go find all my birds . Reminder to go looking in all the op shop books for these pictures

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Happy hunting 👍🏻😊

[@dianashoaf8487]

Ticking. that's it. At 40:30 A rather heavy weight cotton canvas type material. My grandfather was a mattress manufacturer and we used "mattress ticking" for nearly everything outdoors. Once my grandparents moved and would not give us the address, just the neighborhood, and he told us we'd know the place when we saw it - "mattress Ticking" flags across the front porch!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😂👍🏻😘

[@kellyhards8828]

Lol! I NEVER buy Tim Holtz but I actually just bought that exact package! Now I can watch a professional use them and get ideas❤❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

☺️👍🏻😘

[@hopehamborsky7570]

Just so lovely, but I love the Red Bird. I think I have some of that material in my stash. If I do I will send you some💕💕💃💃

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😘👍🏻

[@sherryvanderpool8644]

Lovely tags I enjoyed watching you decorate them

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks ☺️

[@theresamccarter1124]

I am thoroughly enjoying the names you give your tools. I am notorious for naming things, too. 😊 I call my Art Glitter Glue Aggie.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😂👍🏻😘

[@novallasuter5265]

It is ticking or mattress ticking. Most drapery or upholstery shops carry it. You might try Amazon. Also it comes with different color stripes. Blue, gray, black , green or red. There is also grain sack cloth that has subtle stripes.

[@11kmay]

Hi Margaret, I have recently found your channel and love watching you create. I am new to this type of papercraft, as I have made cards and do scrapbooking before. I absolutely love your 'Bibs and Bobs' saying. Looking forward to creating 😊 I am in Australia.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

[@helengrace7005]

Thanks 😊

[@novallasuter5265]

I love everyone of them!

[@michelles9117]

36 mins in and you just asked about why baby wipes are used. When I started crafting 20 yrs ago most of the quality stamps were the red rubber ones. We were told not to use alcohol wipes as the rubber would get damaged. The sensitive baby wipes are water based with no alcohol in. I still use them, even on my clear silicone and polymer stamps. Your tags are great. TFS ♥️

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks 👍🏻😘

[@isabel_journals]

Loved all of them!

[@kathybost1879]

love them!!! sometimes I use a big glob of Nuvo drops or Stickles and then stick the button into it- as soon as I finish making my charity cards I am going to just have fun and play like you. I think when Spring comes I will hit the thrift shop and look for some old books. love from USA

[@SevenplazaCreative]

☺️😘

[@sandyreinking3271]

Ohhh!!!! so love those birds. Wish I could find books like you do. I so love how you encourage people who don't have the variety tools like us seasoned paper crafters do. So enjoyed your relaxing play tonight. I really needed to take a breath and relax. Thank you Margreth for all your time, energy and talent you put into your channel for us. You are a lovley role model!!! ❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thank you so much sweetheart 🥰

[@valeriekehr2206]

Hi Margreth, as usual, such a fun video with lots of inspiration! Yes, the fabric is called 'ticking' and I can buy it at my local fabric shop in the US, Joann Fabrics, or online at Etsy. I think Amazon also sells some. And yes, the yellow tag is stunning! Love it!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

I have looked it up on Amazon , the shipping is 3 times the price of the fabric 😧 It’s just not available in the Netherlands 😢

[@valeriekehr2206]

I'm so sorry love ☹️- maybe your thrift stores might have old bedding you can tear up?

[@PeaceCreek1]

Yes, the fabric you are thinking of is called ticking here in the states. You can find it in fabric shops here, usually wherever they have the "duck cloth". Thrift stores often have it also - I usually like the feel of the vintage fabric best. Look for some place that sells vintage fabrics. Although blue ticking usually comes to mind, there are lots of other colors as well. I've had yellow, pink, turquoise, navy, black, and red.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

👍🏻😘

[@sandyreinking3271]

Ohhh Forgot about the ticking.... in the States we use it as the go to fabric for down pillows. It is quite heavy. There is also a lighter weight one we use for kitchen towels called grain sack. it is like a linen fabric. We can buy it on Amazon and also in our fabric shops. Good Luck on the quest for the fabric you want. 😃👍

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Unfortunately not to be found in the Netherlands 😉

[@Zwendysue]

OMG!!! I did it!!! I finally made something while watching you! I made 2 tags and honestly liked my first better but that is ok I took the steps. They are now dated and next I will make a place to store things as I make them!!! THANK YOU told my daughter my bff is in the Netherlands and doesn’t even know I exist lol❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

That’s fantastic 👍🏻 nice to know I have a new friend 😘❤️

[@IMarriedAStoner]

I’ve only recently discovered your videos. You make beautiful stuff and you have a great sense of humor. 🙂 I recognize a few species of birds on the cover of your bird book. I have two small conure parrots and have looked for old artwork depicting them.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks ☺️

[@dorienadema3233]

Hey Margreth, kaatsen is still a sport in Friesland.😄😄

[@SevenplazaCreative]

👍🏻😘

[@lindasparks7131]

Loved this! Enjoy working with book pages! Trying to do that more often. Yes it’s called ticking. If I find it I’ll let you know or send it to you!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😘👍🏻

[@lynnsinclair123]

Lovely as always. Ticking (in Canada) can be sourced in quilt, upholstery and/or drapery stores (or online).

[@SevenplazaCreative]

👍🏻😘

[@AnneManley]

Loved this video, Margreth! The tags were all stunning but, yes, the yellow one absolutely 'popped'. I'm glad that I'm not the only person who names her objects!! I got such a kick from hearing you talking to 'Art'. Such fun!❣ Thank you for such a great hour! Plus, I will now have some wonderful tags.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

☺️😘

[@oheck5570]

Agreed…. I really like the canary yellow tag. But I also especially like the “three brown spots” tag. Have a wonderful relaxing weekend.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

[@greetleemans2527]

Schitterend 🤩 dank je wel voor de inspiratie ❣️

Very beautiful project. Another type of project I enjoyed watching you make was your rolodex cards. Kinda missing them.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Maybe it will be back 🤔😘

Wat ben je weer lekker aan de freubel..leuke collage leuke tags.

[@Msicu1221]

Beautifully done

[@SevenplazaCreative]

[@kimcat7320]

I tea dye new book pages to make them look old. Just don't leave them in very long or they will fall apart. I get the books at the dollar store because resale shops are expensive.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

[@pennykafai4645]

These sweet little pocket tags are the cutest for sure. Ticking can easily be found on Amazon e bay and maybe even uncle Ali or Sheen may have some.

[@deborahromero6400]

You can find ticking in most fabric store here in U.S. They come in several colors. Some Etsy shoppes have it also. Hope you find it somewhere closer to your home!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Found some on Etsy , with astronomical high shipping prices 😧

[@loriegaskins7679]

These are lovely!!! ❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks ☺️

[@janlou7228]

So lovely margreth, I was running around my house like a crazy woman looking for my bird books 🤣🤣, love the idea of folding the bottom of the tag up to create the pocket, much quicker solution xx

[@SevenplazaCreative]

👍🏻😘😘

[@laurajillco]

Ticking is the striped fabric you mentioned. It's used most often for zippered pillow covers which go under the pillowcase. Hope that helped. LOVE your videos!!! I learn so much and get inspired to create. Also my family is Dutch!! YAY!!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Dankjewel 👍🏻😘

[@JoansJunkJournalsAndMore]

I love these tags, they are all beautiful. When you glue the 2 pages together, glue one upside down so when you fold the bottom part up for the pocket, writing will not be upside down. Going to make some of these now. Thank you for sharing and all of your time. ☺♥

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Great tip 👍🏻😘

[@hankejoosen4029]

Super !🤩🤩🤩

[@merrilynnowlan8907]

Glad to have found your journal .. love this video

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks 😊

[@marilyncordell4687]

You've already been given the basics about ticking, but I have seen it in blue, black, gray, red, and sort of an olive green. There may be more colors than than. It is also in different weights of fabric, from a canvas sort of weight to lighter weights. I hope you find some.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thank you 😊

[@janeb7633]

Baby wipe are not oily, they work great clean stamps because they won’t break down the rubber of the stamps and they are economical. They are great for cleaning our hands off also.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

👍🏻😘

[@cathymartinez2551]

Love it your tags 😍 I'll my going to try it.

😘

[@cindyanderson1832]

Love the tags. Yes the striped fabric is called pillow ticking. It can come in different colors. It is used to make the a pillow itself that the feathers are put into, originally . It is a little heavier and tightly woven to keep the feathers from sticking thru.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

👍🏻😘

[@ozjan7927]

Absolutely fabulous lovey! Yes, I love the yellow one too lol. Love the mattress ticking too. Have a good weekend darlin! 😊❤️🇦🇺xxx

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks sweetheart 🥰

[@shellylaw4]

Love your videos!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks ☺️

[@dianashoaf8487]

I just found you about 8 or 10 videos ago, and after seeing this one and the 4 tags altogether, I think I have figured out this thing about mixed media / using scraps and collecting scraps. You have taught me a lot already - you are a very talented artist with a wonderful eye for putting all those little bits and pieces of discarded, lost and found items together. How awesome to be able to do that. Thanks for your videos - a new subscriber!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thank you so much, and welcome to my channel 👍🏻😊

[@-Lucy-H]

Gorgeous tags, love the birds 🐦😍 you're so funny too, great you have names and characters for your equipment 😀 Fyi ticking stripe fabric is on eBay 👍

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks 👍🏻😘

[@EG3387]

Hi Margreth the title of this video said beginner 😊but you are taking the more experienced makers back to basics. This is a great video for all of us. This was a very relaxing video. TFS❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks sweetheart ☺️

[@Twoin62]

These tag pockets are so sweet! I definitely plan on making some of these. As far as I know, baby wipe’s don’t have any oil or lotion in them. They are pretty cheap here in the states and so handy for cleaning stamps too. 😊

[@SevenplazaCreative]

I must look into it 👍🏻😘

[@amandachilvers3631]

Love these... On my to do list 😃 if you dont have ink for distressing you could use old eyeshadow. You can get ticking in the uk from curtain fabric sections in your fabric shop xx

[@SevenplazaCreative]

I have been searching , but it’s nowhere to be found over here 😢

[@LiliandersLilianGijsbers]

Ah super leuk! Goed idee met die splatters, volgens mij heb ik die stempel ook nog ergens.ik erger me ook altijd als alles onder de verfspetters zit. Ik heb een kopie van het boek wat je gebruikt tweedehands kunnen vinden! Leuk hoe je dit hebt gedaan. En ik heb eigenlijk al die spullen die je gebruikt, alleen te weinig tijd🙈

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😉😘👍🏻

[@gracecarmichael5974]

Loved this. I actually crafted with you using your last printable with the pretty ladies and aqua labels. I love it.
