Recycling labels by Titbelsoeur

How to make tags with cloth labels ?
Take a sets of labels :

Split them up, take the book-like printed ones and stamp Gibson girls on them, not much, for a simple vintage look :

On the other labels, just stick paper like a piece of a notebook page or an old map, distress them with Vintage Photo Distress ink or walnut stain, and stamp some vintage stamps on them :

then gather all of them again with the original string, and here it is :

Upcycling...

Hello happy crafters ! this is Titbelsoeur showing you today an album made with upcycled stuff AND an Artistic Stamper stamp as a background on each and every page : Family Values from the Collage & Retro collection :

 Here are the pages :

I am sure you noticed on the last page that I also used the "Art" stamp, from Collage Art, and the rule from Ephemera 1, both in the same collection as Family values.

The covers are all made with upcycled things (buttons, chicken wire, fridge light bulb, coffee pad, zip, hand-made beads, etc etc...) :

I was happy to show you this album I am proud of !

I will demonstrate how to do it on November 11th

 in a workshop at my place near Versailles, France, 

and hope it will give you some inspiration to make one of your own !

Thank you for stopping by, I am looking forward to reading your comments.

See you,

"Our Little Ones" by Alison Hall

Hi Everyone! Here's a quick little card from me, using one of my favourite colour combinations and a sweet little vintage stamp set by The Artistic Stamper, called 'Our Little Ones'. You can buy it as a collage image, or as separate images. I used the separate images sheet.


First I took a square of white card, and inked one half with spiced marmalade distress ink, then the other half with broken china. Then I stamped the dots background and the dogtooth background with the same inks. I stamped flourishes in opposite corners, then edged the card with black ink, and matted it onto a square white card blank.

Next I stamped the words from 'Our Little Ones' on a small square of card, with the broken china ink, and stamped the little girl in Archival black over the top. I used a waterbrush & the distress ink to colour her dress. I edged the card with the blue ink, matted it onto black card, then adhered it to the centre of my background.

I stamped three butterflies (from Insects & Butterflies No 1) in black, overstamped them with a script stamp in the distress inks, cut them out, and adhered just the bodies to the card, lifting the wings slightly to add some dimension.

Thanks for looking!
