Quick and Easy Tags for Journals

[@teriwhidden9178]

Your tags are fabulous! In America, what you call muslin, we call cheesecloth and what you call calico, we call muslin. How fun is that? LOVE your style and cannot wait to see what's next.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Teri, oh gosh, now the different names for the fabrics is confusing, I am going to be even more muddled now, LOL! 💗💗

[@teriwhidden9178]

@@KariGibsonArt Oh NO! Did not mean to confuse you!

@@teriwhidden9178 It's OK Teri, I am confused a lot of the time anyway! 🤣❤

[@antoinettecastle4739]

I don't know which I like best...thd bird is lovely but the red is fabulous 😍

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Toni, I think I like the red one best! ❤❤

[@beccasart1]

I like the idea of the old book pages, they lend an antique flare to the tags, and make one wonder what all the words are. I think my fav is the butterfly over that great warm red with the texture. It is simple and elegant. I do also like the transparency of the napkins.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Becca, yes I do love the texture and the look of the old book pages, the paper is much nicer than modern book pages, they are thicker and take paint beautifully. I am glad you like the butterfly one, it is a favourite of mine, too. The napkins are wonderful to use, perfect for the job! 💗💗

@@KariGibsonArt I am looking forward to seeing your thought process at the end of the 100 days, always interesting to see where we migrate!

I love both tags, this would also be great for making bookmarks.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Linda, oh yes they would, great idea! 😀❤

[@lindseywarren44]

Hullo my darling! I do hope you are well. I loved these tags, Kari!! You have a way of choosing the most simple of bits & bobs and making them look amazing. Truly. You are such a gifted artist! Thank you for sharing. I have (as always with you) found some wonderful new inspiration! Much love and Bless xoxo

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you so much my dear Lindsey, you are so kind, I really appreciate it. I am having a fun time exploring with those tags, although it is quite tough to fit in one a day (I thought it would be a lot easier than it is, LOL)! Love and blessings to you too x💗💗x

[@jaysjournaling]

Loving these especially the bird one 🥰

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you very much Jay! 💗💗

[@donnamerritt9756]

Thank you for showing your lovely tags. They are both very nice. I do have a question about the hole punch that is more of a slot type punch. Can you please share where you got that punch - the maker? It is the punch you used on the bird tag. Thanks much. Donna

[@KariGibsonArt]

Hi Donna, it is called a "Warrior Euro Hole Punch 32mm" and I bought it from Amazon, I hope you can get one, I do find it very useful for tags! 💗💗

[@helenbrown2001]

Another lovely video Kari. Great ideas, I’m off to collage book pages onto cardboard to start with…..👏👏👏

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Helen, the book pages make a great base, I love it! 💗💗

[@katierose7539]

They are lovely! You are a natural teacher and make things look easy. I might see which one of Jon’s old books I can remove a few pages from. Surely he won’t notice since all those numbers and letters look the same. Love the video 🥰

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Kate, oh yes, raid those books, I really like old book pages, they feel so much nicer than modern book pages and they take the paint so well. Jon's numbers will be perfect, I love numbers and charts and things! Have fun! 💗💗

[@katierose7539]

@@KariGibsonArt perhaps a whole book could be missing. If some of it ends up in the UK he won’t be able to trace it….

I will not be taking part in the 100 day project 😔 but I'll be trying to play and create as much as I can since Time is not on my side these days. You made some very pretty tags 🩷 I look forward to seeing how your tags evolve over the next few months. Thanks for sharing Kari.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Maria, yes time is going to be the hardest part for me too. On quieter days, I think I will do some prep for those busy days. At least tags don't take too long, although the one I made today seemed to take forever, LOL. Oh yes, I wonder what my 100th tag will look like, I am sure things will have changed by then, hopefully I will have learned some things! 💗💗

[@bowler8]

Love the red one

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks - that is my favourite too! 💗💗

[@chicladyuk8104]

😍Both the tags are lovely Kari, I have the bird napkin, so I may have a go at making a tag with it. In fact you have now got me on a mission, just pulled all my napkins out to see what I have in my stash lol I will tag you on insta once I have made one x Debs

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Debs, heheh, those napkins are very easy to hoard, might as well use them up!❤❤

Great tags, love the easy way you showed on how to make multiples. So, you are going to end up with 100 tags. I am doing stencil girls' 100 days. Not sure what i will do with 100 pieces of paper. thank you for sharing.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you, yes 100 tags, although I shall probably use some along the way. Oh, I didn't know about the stencil girl project, I'll follow along and I'll enjoy seeing what you make too! ❤❤

Your tags look fabulous! I’ve been debating about participating in the 100 days, but I have a lot on my plate these days. So I think I may wait until next year. I’ll be way your Instagram. 😃❤️

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Elaine, I know, I am going to struggle with time too, but I think if I can get some bases ready, that would help. Mind you, today's tag seemed to take a long time, maybe I will get quicker as the 100 days go by! Doing the 100 day project is tough, I missed last year as I had too much on. I may just give up halfway through, but I will try to keep going! 💗💗

[@KariGibsonArt]

Oh tags are great for all sorts of things, I even made a little book with them once! Of course, they are great for gifts too! 🥰

I love them all but I like the roses one because of the colours... Fabulous ❤️😁 Will you be doing a mixture of types of tags, for instance, Art ones or vintage ones that sort of thing or will you stick to one type? 😁😁

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Elaine, I think that one is a favourite of mine too. I will indeed be doing a mixture of tags - different techniques and different looks, I am going to try some things I haven't tried before, I hope to learn some things along the way! 💗💗

Dear Miss Kari: I think these pages are beautiful but does a person journal on the back of pages for writing? I guess I do not understand where does a person write? Are the backs of the tags recipe cards? Please explain. Thank you. Sincerely, Rhoda Tuckey

[@KariGibsonArt]

Hi Rhoda, yes, I pop them in journals for people to write on them, I used an old pizza box to make these ones. I have a feeling your curiosity about journals is going to send you down a very happy and very fun rabbit hole! 😊💗

Dear Miss Kari: I would like to purchase a watercolor landscape journal with blank pages inserted to write in like a diary. Could you sell me one? All watercolor landscape theme in pastels with real nice cover? Thank you.
