Tag pockets 12 ways

This is just a compilation of ways to use tags, either plain, punched or from digital kits, and turn them into pockets or tucks. Nothing really new, just a variety of possibilities in one spot. The samples are made using Dark Compendium and Vintage Bugs kits from Tracie Fox Creative, and I’ll link those kits below. I hope this gives you some new or different ways to turn tags into pickets. Thank you for watching and happy creating.

What great inspiration Cori! They’re so cute and easy for everyone to do ❤

[@barbara-dj1uo]

So sorry to hear your journal got lost in the mail. I can only imagine the hours and hours and love that went into that project. My heart did a leap when I saw you posted a video. I always know to get out my clipboard and lots of paper to take notes during your video. The FLIPS FLAPS and FOLDS Queen has returned to mesmerize us with crazy awesome pockets. Thank you soooooooo much for sharing your artistic gift with us. I just loooove your projects, your instructions, your voice, and YOU!

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you Barbara. The package to Tracie was MIA for over two months, but I got it back in the mail earlier this week. Now I need to repack it and try sending it again!

[@barbara-dj1uo]

@@CoriDahmen ohhhhh, I’m so glad the package was found. Thanks for your reply. I look forward to more of your videos. It’s hard keeping up with you, but I enjoy every moment.

Many thanks for this video! Inspiring to the max. You also made me buy a couple of kits from Tracie Fox - they are so nice and useful :-) I've bought a few from her before, so she's not new to me. Hope you get the things you asked for at the end of this video. What I saw (at 52.40 minutes in) was that when you cut with a scalpel and used the Tim Holtz ruler... If you cut towards the other side where there is a metal line, it reduces the risk of cutting into the ruler. You problably already know that :-)

Thank you Marita and yes, that's a very useful tip!

[@susie10ish]

I want you to know that you've got a new subscriber/admirer! Even before you said it in one of your videos, I knew you were a teacher. I also taught 5th grade and then became an elementary music teacher and taught all the grades. I retired in 2005 and took up paper crafting. I welcome the inspiration you bring to my work.

[@CoriDahmen]

Once again another magic video Cori!!!! You have been well missed for sure and glad to hear all is well your side. That “knotty string” is fascinating!!! Hopefully we can find some more of it. Regarding the black cord, I use a black crochet cotton. The cottons come in a variety of thickness so am sure you will find one that you prefer to use. Thanks for this tutorial!! 😊

[@CoriDahmen]

You're so welcome and yes, another kind viewer directed me to Avril yarn, which is the knotty black stuff 😊

Love all of these tag ideas in one video! I am happy to watch you for much longer than even this video, so please don’t worry about the time. Look at how long we watch Tim Holtz! Sounds like life has thrown you some curveballs, but in true Cori style, I’m sure you handled them with grace and determination. Finally, if you discover the sources for the items, will you please share? That first string looks incredible, and I’m going to keep an eye out (always thought that was a strange saying;). Hugs and blessings from Ky.

Cori, you teach the way I think. Very concise and definitive. Thankyou for sharing your technique for making tags. I have a ton of them and love to see new ideas on how to use them. Sorry life has been throwing you lemons. My brother had been a substitute teacher but won't go back because of the fear of getting sick. We both have Crohn's disease. He always ended up being upset about the lack of plans for the substitute and I would have to listen to him!! Teachers do so much work outside of school hours and most people don't have a clue. Take care. I look forward to your next video when you have the time to film.

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you and I feel for your brother. Substituting is an incredibly tough task! I hope you’re both well ❤
