Hooray It's Autumn Time Tag with Katelyn Grosart

Hey Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. For today's post, I was inspired by the weather change here on Vancouver Island. The rain is in full swing now and it feels like Autumn is here, even though Fall hasn't officially started. With Fall on my mind, this Hooray It's Autumn Time Tag.  To embellish my tag, I featured a variety of our popular fall themed chipboard pieces. You'll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my tag at home.


To start, choose a feather that looks as close to a leaf out of the Tribal Feather Mix. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the feather. Sprinkle Vintage Ivy Embossing Powder overtop of the feather. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.


Take one of the Skeleton Leaf out of the package. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the leaf. Sprinkle Weathered Wood Embossing Powder overtop of the leaf. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.


From the Skeleton Maple Leaf package, take one out of the package. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the leaf. Sprinkle Baked Texture - Chunky Rust Embossing Powder overtop of the leaf. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.


Take a Fine Clock Face out of the package. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the leaf. Sprinkle Burnt Copper Leaves Embossing Powder overtop of the leaf. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.


From the Pumpkin Leaves, take two out of the package. Apply two coats of Peeled Paint Distress Paint to each pumpkin leaf. Once the paint has fried, rub Forest Moss Distress Crayon along the edges of the leaves using your finger.


Take three Mini Wood Maple Leaves out of the package. Apply two coats of Candied Apple Distress Stain to two of the leaves. Apply two coats of Spiced Marmalade Distress Stain on one of the leaves. Once the stain has dried on all three leaves, rub Walnut Stain Distress Ink along the edges of the leaves using your finger.


Trace the Chipboard Tag onto a piece of patterned paper. Cut the patterned paper tag out. Ink the edges of the chipboard tag and patterned paper tag using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.




From a second piece of patterned paper, cut a piece that measures 2 3/4" x 3 5/8". Ink the edges of the patterned paper piece using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the same collection, fussy cut the Hooray It's Autumn Time out of the border strip. Cut the words apart. Ink the edges of the words using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Adhere the patterned paper tag to the chipboard tag. Adhere the 2 3/4" patterned paper piece to the patterned paper tag.


Adhere the Fine Clock Face to the middle of the tag. Adhere one of the pumpkin leaves to the top right side of the clock face. Adhere the other pumpkin leaf to the middle left side of the clock. Punch a hole at the top of the tag.


Adhere the Vintage Ivy Feather 1" from the left and 1 1/8" from the bottom of the tag. Adhere the weathered wood leaf to the left side of the Vintage Ivy Feather. Adhere the Chunky Rust wood leaf slightly overtop of the weathered wood leaf and partly overtop of the pumpkin leaf.


Adhere on of the red maple leaves in the top right corner of the tag. Adhere the other red leaf and orange leaf to the bottom left corner of the tag.


Adhere the Hooray It's Autumn Time sentiment  onto your tag. To finish off your tag, tie a piece of dark orange seam binding ribbon to the top of the tag.


Here are a few close up photos of the Tag.






Here's the finished Hooray It's Autumn Time tag.
