Alice’s Tea Party Tag Book Tutorial

By Cal Summers 

“Hey G45ers –

Did you know there’s an amazing resource on the G45 Blog? Past classes for all the kit clubs that are available for anyone to use?

For the leveled up project I chose to level up the Kaleidoscope Staggered Tag Watercolor Album by Annette Green which you can find here

Club G45 2019 – Vol 07 – Kaleidoscope

For my project I used

Alices Tea Party 12 x 12 Collection Pack https://g45papers.com/product/alices-tea-party-12×12-collection-pack/

Large Kraft Tags https://g45papers.com/product/large-tags-kraft/

Ivory Trading cards https://g45papers.com/product/artist-trading-tags-ivory/

Classic Ivory Trim https://g45papers.com/product/classic-ivory-natural-linen-trim/

I also used my Tag dies but you can decorate without as Annette did https://g45papers.com/product/regular-tag-and-gears-dies/

I followed Annette’s tutorial and scored the tags and folded up to make pockets. I decorated the tags with patterned paper using my die and in my video I show you how you can make a long die cut with a short tag die – but if you follow Annette’s original class you don’t need to use a die at all.

Tag Album – Alice’s Tea Party – by Cal Summers

It was in my decorating that I actually did change from Annette’s beautiful album.

For my decorating I used a technique I like to use a lot. Because we get two images i.e two sheets of each paper we can fussy cut one image to lie on top of another to get a real 3D effect. I like to use spare bits of chipboard rather than foam to layer my images up but foam will do well!

Take a look at all my pages here to see how I decorated.
