Creating a Tag using Studio Light dies

Hello crafty friends! This week on my live, I created this fun tag using the Missees Primarina dies and stamps set. I had so much fun playing with all of the little pieces and imagining different and sometimes unexpected ways to use them. I also like the fact that it comes with the stamps to create the face. I used the Carte Bella Summer Collection and the Lace Borders dies to finish it off.

Die cut desired pieces. I started with the head and shoulders. I cut it out the desired skin tone and then used the die again to get 2 layers for her clothes.

There are several ways you can do the neckline. Watch the video to see a few options. I used the hairline die to create a fun collar out of Fiber Paper.

Then I cut the excess of her shirt away. Watch the video to see a few options.

I cut the gingham pattern paper to 7 ⅛” x 4” and added Simon Hurley Break up Blue to the edges.

I adhered it to the tag and added borders to the top (¾” x4”) and bottom (1 ¼” x 4”). I cut a lace border from Alabaster and trimmed off one side keeping the lace pattern intact.

I did the hair next in my video but I recommend stamping the face on first. I used Raven Ink for the eyes

and Simon Hurley Piggy Back for the nose.

I used Simon Hurley Rosy Cheeks for the lips.

I used a reddish brown pencil to create freckles and added Piggy Back with a small blending brush to give her a little color across her nose.

I cut out multiple hair pieces to experiment and added highlights with white gel pen.

I used Easy Tab foam to attach the head to the neck to add dimension. Adhere the various hair pieces. I added a little black heart to the neckline on the Fiber Paper collar.
