French Tag Book & Ornate Embossing Folders
Filed under Art Projects, Caroline Ouzts-Hay, Contests/Winners, Giveaways, Newsletters, Springtime in Paris Kit
Wow! So much to show you today! Two projects by Design Team Member Caroline Ouzts-Hay. And some gorgeous new embossing folders (and a quick technique for using an embossing folder without a die-cutting/embossing machine).
Plus a new Giveaway and a new FREE gift kit — both inspired by Caroline’s French Envelope Tag Book.
Oh, one more thing (only one?): Caroline’s hosting a Red, White and Blue Ginormous Tag Swap! (And with all the French things on sale right now, I’m imagining that theme could be French- or American-flag influenced. The 4th of July is not far off… and I fear if I blink it will be Christmas!) For more info on the swap, see the Yahoo Group.
Remember that lovely book/box with a wrap-around cover that Caroline made a few week’s ago? Well, she’s made a new version (photo below), but this time with papers from the Botanical Tea 12×12 Paper Pad, and it’s simply beautiful! (And Caroline has provided a video tutorial.)
And that French Envelope Tag Book! So clever! It has pockets front and back to house tags (plus Caroline used a Ginormous Manila Tag, folded in thirds and tied with a bow, that opens to reveal the figures from the On Sale! La Mode – Papillon Collage Sheet. (Don’t forget that the ENTIRE French Vintage Theme Section is On Sale! in honor of the New Springtime in Paris Kit!)
Here is Caroline’s supply list, more photos in the Gallery, and learn more details on Caroline’s blog.

Hooray! A Fairly French Giveaway!
Nice! Starting with one of the Subtly French Gift Kits, I added ALL EIGHT of the French Collage Sheets Caroline used in her French Envelope Tag Book (!)
Then, a few more of the goodies Caroline used:
– Jolie Gold Floral Scrapbook Paper
– Jolie Red Feuille Leaves Scrapbook Paper
– Manila Tags – Ginormous
– Manila Tags – Large
– Valance Curtain Die-Cut Chipboard
(Here’s the full supplies list so you can get the individual links.)
AND, not in Caroline’s artwork (but related and ALL On Sale!):
– Wood Bird Cages
– Yours Truly 6×6 Paper Pad
– Antique Metal Star Brads
– Fancy Diamond Filigree Buttons
