Quick crafting makes me happy!! do you ever watch YouTube hour on end, trawl Pinterest for what feels like years, and yet make nothing ??? I believe the root is that we think we have to make WOW projects every time we sit down to craft ... and I think this contributes to "LOSS OF MOJO" the dreaded no crafty idea what the heck to make.
Well maybe we all should just craft simple, make things that are useful then make WOW project when we feel in the mood. Often creating simple projects can inspire us to go further.
Take these simple gift tags. I really enjoyed making these as I made a heap in no time. They look great and I actually NEED them, they are going to be used. I fact I used them all already !
I don't know about you but I feel a greater crafty satisfaction, like I achieved something when I craft simple and things I know will be used. We haven't always lost our crafty mojo we just try too hard ...that's my thinking.
For these lovely two layer tags I kept the colours simple, used Love what you do stamp set and the scallop tag topper punch.. boom easy.. add in a small sentiment to fit your purpose and your done. Give these a try and when you see a big pile of completed work on your desk I bet you feel pleased with yourself.
I do have a super quick tutorial for you to craft along to ... so get your supplies...I listed mine below...and come craft with me lets make some tags.
Happy crafting xxx Amanda
