Another great source of labels is the advertising sections of magazines, cross stitch quilting etc. even the branding and logos from current magazines can make fun labels.

You're so right! If I'm making something with a contemporary flair, I often save weekly flyers from grocery stores, too. Great label potential! Thanks for watching!

I love that you like to make your own tags. I love using fussy cuts and documents from junk stores

I like how you are using colors for the label frames, much nicer than just black. It certainly does make a tiny image or some text feel special!

I love all the interesting ways to diy labels. I really hadn’t thought of making labels from the off cuts from book pages. I’ll feel less guilty now when I cut a focal point but leave great foliage behind.

Thank you so much, Leeann! Yes, I do go to Office Depot once or twice a year to get things printed. I like supporting the artists when I can, but honestly there are so many other things to use in our journals that I don't see the need to bother with a color printer myself. That's just my take on it. Have fun, and thank you so much for subscribing!

So Many great ideas. Thanks for sharing. Your tags turned out awesome.

Great video, I just subscribed. I love making labels and you have some wonderful ideas, thank you!

I don't have a colour printer so I have to make all of my labels. I like to use the strips of blank book pages I've torn off. They're nice and aged already, and I get to use my scraps. I like the idea of stamping the outline onto an existing page, but I'd cover up the edges so there isn't text visible under the ink border... it would drive me nuts if I didn't LOL

I love the idea of stamping on a sheet with several labels... so cool! I have a yellow pages book that i can harvest some “labels” from. My favourite way to create framed pieces (resembling labels) is to glue (with cheap clear school glue) thin cutouts (from newspapers and such) to pieces of old t-shirt, let it dry completely (overnight) and then cut around with a “frame”. Recently i made a bunch of faux postage stamps with hair thinning scissors and fabric-framed them the above way. I cut out images of framed art from a free magazine for those postage stamps. Love them.

What a fabulous tip, Lena! I'm fascinated by this! Thank you for sharing! I do have some hair thinning scissors somewhere (like many people, I got them during lockdown in spring/summer of 2020 when we couldn't go get our hair cut!). Super great ideas, I appreciate your sharing!

Such a different take on making labels👍🏻 I also have some Tracy Fox labels but don’t buy digital papers. There are really many for free I love to see people making their own stuff because not everybody can afford buying so much in this time with inflations going on. Thank you for inspiring. I will watch more of your video’s after I discovered you today. Greetings from your newest follower of the Netherlands. Maia p.s. You can also make a scan from the pages you stempel yourself and use it more than one time.

Thanks, Maia! Yes, the digitals available out there are lovely, but I don't have a color printer (and don't want one - too much maintenance for me!). I probably buy a digital once or twice a year if there's an artist I want to support, but generally I prefer to use the stuff that's free (or nearly free) out there. It's more a creative challenge for me, too, to use the true "stuff of life" and not a kit. But everyone creates in their own way and there's room for every style! So glad to have you aboard, and thanks for your kind note.

I do too like very much making my own labels. As you say it is a great way to use little bits of scrap. 😊 Merci

Brilliant! I have so many beloved botanical paper pads that are nothing more than scraps now. A rainy day with my scraps, stamps, and fussy cut scissors is in my near future. TFS!

This was excellent, thank you. I hae some pretty boring book pages I pulled out when I was making my first altered book - all about linguistics in a very highbrow tone! But, I was able to find a few words that isolated really well into small labels while following along. At a recent Bookarama, I picked up a scrapbooking book of templates, so now making a few oval labels. Great ideas, thank you!

I came over to this video after watching your latest video because it had to do with labels. I think you did a fabulous job of creating labels and then the ultimate tags that you did at the end are amazing. BTW I also watch Tina and Tracy. I am just curious, do you have boxes full of bags with all of your little things in them like some of the creators have sitting in some larger boxes? That idea sort of overwhelms me as I am trying to reduce the amount of stuff I have collected for crafting. I do have two large metal file cabinets that I will be moving into my craft area I am designing in the basement to hold my papers and such. As a teacher I found file cabinets to be an amazing organizer for paper things. Thank you ever so much for sharing your knowledge. 😊❤😊

You found it!! haha! So glad! I store most of the finished stuff I make on shelves - I use inexpensive plastic baskets to corral all the tags together, all the cards together, all the pocket together, etc. And the supplies ("future stuff") is mostly in the IKEA drawers that my desktop sets upon. I should do a video of my setup sometime soon.
