December Daily® 2017 | Day 16
Welcome to December Daily® 2017 | Day 16.
Today's story is about going to see The Last Jedi and it's a great reminder that you don't have to have a photo to tell a story.
As you'll see in the video I had fun playing with embossing, using a typewriter, and adding small tags to my larger tag.
Here's a look at the original page from my Foundation Pages post:
And here's a look at how I ended up telling my story:
I started this one with the back of one of the large gold foil tags. I knew I wanted to just use my Sans Serif Lowercase alphabet stamps to tell my short story and decided to use gold embossing powder vs. just stamping with ink.
After stamping and embossing my phrase - perfectly imperfect by the way - I took the tag over to my typewriter and added a few things on the bottom. I added a phrase above "awesome" which was mainly to fill in that space and then added the names of our whole crew who went to the movie together.
It was a little tricky, as you'll see in the video, mainly because of how close the typing was to the bottom of the tag. Embracing imperfection all the way on this one!
Here's a look at the tag with the smaller tags lifted up off the top.
The little tags I added include the movie ticket + one of the 2-inch gold foil squares with a cork number adhered to the back.

I love the tag and how "perfectly imperfect" it is! How do you like the AC typewriter? I've been wanting a typewriter and can't decide between getting it or finding a vintage typewriter to use. Thoughts??
I think you can totally find a comparable vintage one that would be less expensive. That said, I'm happy with it!

Ali....those 2 black little holdets that were on the right side of your little ruler type bar, will help your tag stay in place a little bit better! Just an fyi. Well at least that is what i learned in typing class many moons ago!!! Also depending on the quality of the typewriter. Hope that makes sense & will work 4 u the next time.

Where did you get the gold foil tag? I can't seem to find it in your shop.

Susan - if you mean the large gold tag that Ali stamped on, these were a free gift for people who ordered the main kit early (available until hey ran out, which was pretty quick). Similar ones were also available as add ons for the 'Give' story kit. Neither are available any longer.
You can purchase the digital file and then print it (make it black first) and use a Minc to foil it...that's what I did :)

When I’m typing on a tag, I use temporary tape and put in sheet of paper or lightweight cardstock, it really helps.
