i had some fun with my vintage photos yesterday. i dipped some large manilla tags in leftover coffee (hate to waste coffee!) and i also dipped the corner of the photos in coffee to give them a blurred, watery edge. then i just stapled the photos onto tags and added a few embellishments. perfect for bookmarks or gift tags. i’m no scrapbooker, but i had fun!
tomorrow we are doing ‘free earring friday’ so check back for details!! have a great day!
That bird stamp looks like a swallow. I would love to know where you got it. I collect them. Thanks!
i got it on etsy or from martha’s collection at michaels!!
I am going to make these tags. They are fantastic. Thank you for inspiring me with this great idea.
these are great . . . can i steal this idea? 🙂
Adoring your tags!
The staples are brilliant! I’ll have to give it a try!
Fun project! I love those little projects that give so much satisfaction… and are so useful too!
Hear, hear on the bird stamp!
Have a great weekend!
What a great idea, and so easy! I
Love it! So unique! Where did you find the manilla tags?
very cute! coffee-staining sounds like a really fun (&yummy) idea!
What a great idea! I love those!
What a fabulous idea! And I am loving that website that shows how to vintage up the photos, thanks for sharing!

Those look like a present, not the tag!
I LOVE making homemade gift tags. I do it for Christmas, birthdays, whatever. It’s fun!
P.S. Yours are too cute.
So cute, sis! Love the bird stamp 🙂
These are great. I was wondering what to do with my vintage-look photos after messing around on the wanokoto site from yesterday (for forever!).
so cute! love the staples.
what cute tags! i usually try to make my tags – thanks for a new idea 🙂
Hand made gift tags are so much fun! And even someone non-creative like me can do it. Yours are especially nice with your vintage photos on them.
