Description:

These are great fun! It is an opportunity for scrappers, stampers, mini album makers, and artists to show off some of their techniques and skills - or to try new ones. All you need to do is decorate one tag (see rules below) for each of your partners. Beginners are welcome too.

There are lots of ideas, suggestions and techniques on the internet. Just do a web search, or better yet, check out YouTube. Search "Tim Holtz" on YouTube for some great ideas.

Here are the rules:

Dimensions: No smaller than 2.5" x 4" (6.5cm x 10cm) or larger than 3-1/8" x 6-1/4" (shipping tag - size #8, approximately 7.5cm x 15cm).

You will make one tag

Participants MUST use at LEAST 3 art techniques or mediums on their tag. I don't mind glued images, but if that is all that is done the recipient is left with little more than a piece of cardboard - literally. You can paint, stain, draw, stamp, age (tear, stain edges, etc.), embellish with 3D objects, decoupage, wet/dry emboss, splatter paint/ink, blend inks/stains, etc. Check out the huge library of ideas on YouTube (caution: YouTube does have some very adult content - the craft videos are typically obvious. Just be aware when clicking to view.)

On the back, please sign your tag. Also note the month and year of creation, the name of your tag (if you've named it) and where you are from (city, state/province, country).

Also you are to send it in a mail art envelope. Let your creativity flow. This swap will have beginners in it, if you want perfection then it isn't for you.

Here is a link for ideas to help you:)
