Welcome to the third and last day of my event featuring Tim Holtz. For today I just had to make a mixed media tag!
One of the most common comments that I get about art journaling is “how do I start” or “I am too afraid to start, what to do?” Well here is the answer!
Create tags using the same techniques, the area is smaller to work on, you can try your mediums, decide on the placement and if you mess up …you just throw it away. On the other hand, I am sure you will never throw your lovely art so you can use a ring to bind them all together! How is that for a start?
In my tag I used all my art journaling go to techniques. And I just love the outcome….
You can see I did some stenciling, used my distress paints, my distress inks and even did some paper piecing.
I have also added a metal word band by Tim Holtz and various bits and pieces from his ephemera expedition pack.
I have colored some seam binding to create a matching ribbon. This is a technique I really love because it is quick and easy but the result is just great. OK it is a bit messy but we crafters love inky fingers don’t we?

Wow.. Beautiful tag! Love your work!
Another fabulous video Vicki!
Love watching you create, especially with Tim Holtz products!
Thanks Vicki! I have just started watching your videos recently and I am learning so much from you about mixed media. I bought me a journal yesterday and now I just have to get my mind into it as you do and make it my own.
I really love the spotlights on videos and i like all the things you’ve made, but this one is by far my favorite. it is just stunning! tfs xo
Wow! It’s been a great week Vicki. Thanks for your great videos. I love all your work especially the art journaling. You and Tim Holtz make a brilliant combination
Love your Day 3 Tim Holtz video! What a great idea to practice on a tag 1st. As always, I loved your video. You are so creative!!! Thank you so much for sharing your artwork with us! It has been such a treat watching 3 different videos from you this week. I’m looking forward to Sunday!!! This is probably a silly question, but most of your videos are about 15 minutes. After editing and fast forwarding, how long does it usually take you to complete an art journal page in real time?
I have really enjoyed this weekly series. Tim Holtz products are so inspiring and you give us so many great ideas on how to use them. Looking forward to your next wonderful weekly spotlights.
Thanks so much.
As always you work your artistic magic on such a plain surface! Just watching you makes me want to try to do tags and a journal!! You are truly an inspiration!
Love this new series by Tim and, as always, you have worked your magic to bringing everything to life. I have loved watching you this week – you always inspire me so much! I hope one day to be half as good as you. Please keep crafting and sharing.
It was my favorite week!Too sad it’s over… Love your work!UR SO TALENTED!

Fabulous tag and video! I’m going to create a bunch of tags very soon! So inspiring!
Thanks Vicky, love the tag! Great idea about getting started with a tag. Your art journaling always inspires me but i feel very nervous about starting my first page. Thanks for your inspiration and great idea.
I love all your videos – not just for teaching me some great techniques and introducing me to some nifty products, but especially for the joy I can hear in your voice as you work. That joy inspires me. Thanks! <3

Another great videos and project. You just make it looks so easy and effortless. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video. I LOVE anything you create! Thank you for sharing.
What a really great idea to make a tag as a step to start doing an art journal. I really want to start a journal, but was not sure how. I will try the tags first.
I love this tag! The colors are awesome and I LOVE the seam binding holding the word band on! Overall this is a fantabulous tag!! I think I may start a tag journal after reading this! Thanks for the inspiration!
Your ideas are very inspiring.
A great week getting to see all the Tim Holtz products!! Also getting to see three posts from the rock star art journaller Vicky was a super bonus!
I love your videos and have followed along on many of them. The Tim Holtz birds are really cute. I love how you use the musical notes from the tissue.
Wonderful tag and I like the idea of practicing techniques on tags.
I love the tag and all elements coordinate so nicely. TFS

Great work here Vicky. You always do such a lovely job.
Another awesome idea, Vicky—perfect for me, one who is leery of jumping into a big empty page! I am going to play with some of my tags like you did…..they will be great to use on cards or layouts, too! Thanks for the continued inspiration….I love your work!
Really nice tag

Fabulous tag, Vicky!
This Tim Holtz series has been great. So informative and I love watching you work. I love the idea of starting with a tag to ease into multi media projects. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talents with everyone.
I love your mixed media videos and you have really inspired me and helped push me to the next level. Thank you!!!
This is BEAUTIFUL!
Absolutely fabulous Vicky!! I love the tag, and the other two Tim Holtz makes as well. My favourites are always your Journal pages, but this tag is fantastic!
GORGEOUS tag. Love your sense of color & design.
Wonderful Videos. Great idea to use tags to try out ideas you would want to try in an Art Journal. I haven’t tried an art journal yet, but you do make it look fun.
Your work is so fun to watch!! Love your creations.. you make me think I can do it too!
I love your work, I find it so inspiring
Oh…I’m dying over here! I have become your biggest fan, watching every YouTube video and reading your blog. I’ve bought an art journal, art tags, paints, brushes, dyes, inks, markers, tissue paper, and more, yet I have not a creative bone in my body. I don’t even think I have creativity into the 2nd generation below me! Nonetheless, I keep watching and slowly building up courage! I’ll be brave enough to tackle my first project and post it to Instagram soon, but in the meantime, thank you for blogging, posting, and tubing!
I just love watching you and I even took your on line class
Thank you for being
Lillian
I love the “simple entry point” of a tag as a smaller way in than a full journal page. This tag is wonderful! All the tips and tricks you always give make each one of these videos a treat.
Vicky, your tags are a wonderful way to get your feet wet in the ocean of art journal possibilities! Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!
