Southern Ridge Trading Company: Sweet Tag with Katelyn Grosart

Hey Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. Today, I'm thrilled to be sharing with you my Sweet Tag. To create my tag, I've used a variety of our Love themed chipboard pieces. You'll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my Sweet Tag at home.

To start, you'll need a Chipboard Tag. Ink the edges of the tag using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Trace the chipboard tag around a piece of patterned paper of your choosing. Cut the tag out. Punch a hole at the top of the paper tag. Distress the edges of the paper tag. Ink the edges of the paper tag using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

You'll need two patterned papers that coordinate with the paper used for the tag. Cut one piece that measures 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" and cut a piece out of the other patterned paper that measures 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". Fussy cut or die cut a frame out of coordinating paper. Distress the edges of the paper. Ink the edges of the papers and frame using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Corrogated Hearts, you'll need the medium heart. Apply Emboss It Ink to the heart and sprinkle White Satin Pearl Embossing Powder over the entire surface of the heart. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Ink the edges of the heart using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Choose one of the keyholes from the Med Key Holes package. Apply Emboss It Ink to the keyhole and sprinkle Molten Dimensions - White Wonder Embossing Powder over the entire surface of the keyhole. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

From the Word Mix #2 package, you'll need the Sweet word. Apply Emboss It Ink to the word and sprinkle Molten Dimensions - White Wonder Embossing Powder over the entire surface of the word. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Next, you'll need the Barbed Wire Heart Frame. Apply two coats of Victorian Velvet Distress Paint to the frame. Once the frame has dried, ink the edges of the frame using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending too with foam.

Apply two coats of Candied Apple Distress Paint to the Jessie Heart. Ink the edges of the heart using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Love & Hearts package, you'll need two hearts. Apply two coats of Candied Apple Distress Paint to one of the hearts. Apply two coats of Spun Sugar Distress Paint to the other heart. Once the hearts have dried, ink the edges of the hearts using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

The last thing you'll need is two large white roses, two small white roses, eight red roses, four pink roses and three aqua flowers.

Adhere the paper tag to the chipboard tag. Adhere the 2 1/2" patterned paper piece to the 2 3/4" patterned paper piece. Foam square the 2 3/4" paper to the middle of the paper tag. Adhere the frame to the 2 3/4" paper.

Foam square the large red heart to the middle of the 2 3/4" paper. Adhere the corrogated heart to the middle of the large red heart. Adhere the barbed wire heart frame overtop of the corrogated heart.

Adhere the keyhole to the middle of the barbed wire frame. Adhere the two hearts as desired to the keyhole. Adhere the sweet word to the middle of the hearts.

On the bottom right hand side of the large red heart, adhere one large white roses, two pink roses, four red roses, one aqua rose and two white roses.
