  • I've had so many subscriber requests to share with you all how I cut my tag angles and how I made the little gadget I use to make my tag corners uniform. I hope this video will answer all of the comments and requests.
    I'm always happy to share with you all anything that makes creating easier.
    Happy Crafting

    This is brilliant! Folding the square into a triangle and then using the edge to get the angles makes this an easy task. Thank you!

    Much appreciate you taking the time to do an instructural video Ceri. So much easier to follow rather than making wasted bloomers. I could just binge watch you every day. You're SO good at what you do, adding confidence where we may have not tried something new. Keep up the good 👍 work.

    Ceri, I'm not a journel maker or card maker, but the information you provide just spills over to so many other areas. However I do so love handmade paper and all that goes with it. Now I must confess, you taught me to make the little envelope pockets which came out perfectly. Next its off to make the angle template.. Plus I keep peeking in to see what you are up to next. I am a bead weaver, Zentangler, wool and fabric dabbler. Any bets on how long it will be before you have me making a journal..a small one at least. A big thank you for sharing and the most enjoyable tutorials. We here in the US need an outlet these days. For me, this is it. Many thanks.

    Ceri thank you and that is a good idea. So just made one using 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", 1" and the equivalent to those measurements in mm too. I call them "Corner Cuts for Tags" by Ceri Griffiths in UK and yes things like this has to have a name and a by name too so I can give credit where credit is do when I share the idea.🙂

  • @JulieTorrens
    @JulieTorrens ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much, Ceri! ❤️. I agree, our items are hand made and if you want that super accurate everything exactly the same, just buy one from the dollar store. That being said, using tools like you created, will make our work look more polished. It is these little details that makes us like our work better.
    Handmade does not mean sloppy and unkempt. There is a huge difference.
    Ceri? Your work has an amazing aura of finely made and very high quality. 🏅

    Great video!!! Hey,...I just ordered from PM Artists Studio. I'm so EXCITED to receive your Hopeless Harlequin STENCIL!!! Its so great! I think you should tell us about it and put your CERIFAN10 coupon code in ALL your videos. It wasn't too easy to find. Plus, I think everyone would love to get your stencil if they knew about it. I've seen you use it and its so wonderful. Its difficult to know how their masks will look till we see them used. At least for me!!
    Thanks for doing the Hopeless Harlequin stencil for PM Artists Studio. I'm so happy to be able to get it.

    I really like your idea and I am going to follow your example. I don't remember who it was but I seen someone stack 2 pieces of cardstock, cut through both pieces, one corner while they are stacked, then flip one and follow the guide. This is 3 cuts for 2 tags and they are equal.

    Thank you! I'm excited that my first UK visit is coming up soon. I'm staying in London near Victoria station and will be a total tourist. However, if there are any great paper/stationery shops I should visit I'd love a recommendation. Any special papers I should keep my eye out for? Of course, I will be collecting all my ticket stubs, tour brochures etc. in a travel journal. Thanks again.

    • @CeriGriffiths
      @CeriGriffiths  ปีที่แล้ว

      Have a wonderful time in London, i used to live there many many years ago but not actually looked for supplies there so unfortunately I not able to suggest any shops for you, but theres enough eclectic things to be a resource. If you go to Covent Garden they do have an indoor market, a bit pricey, however you might find the odd treasure there, I sometimes buy wooden printing blocks if I’m there.

      @CeriGriffiths It was. Thanks. I've made about 7 this afternoon. My friends come to my place on Friday for craft day. We have a newby who loves making tags. So one for everyone & a spare. She's been given lots of dylusions, so this week we are going waaay back & doing what we learnt in 2013. My first craft class was at Snazzi Scrappin in Dubbo, NSW, Aus. We bought 1 stencil (swirly garden) & 3 dylusions sprays (primary ink colours). I had to go back to work & massage with inky hands.😂 I still use some of those old scraps in my ephemera. I was absolutely gobsmacked by the brightness of the colours & the wonders of stencils. Got me hooked & we are still going! 💕
