12 tags of Christmas 2013 - Vintage tag with a pop-up house - tag number eight

This tag was number eight of a series of 12 tags in the December issue of the Norwegian magazine - "Ett trykk". I wanted to show different styles and techniques. This is an example of vintage tag with a pop-up house and hand made embellishment (rolling pin and the gingerbread cutter)

The original tag is made is a dies from Tim Holtz Sizzix Die TAG & BOOKPLATES Movers And Shapers.

The stamp with the gingerbread recipe, is from Panduro. The paper used i Kraft and Panduro – Poppydesign – Vibeke Spigseth paper pad – Christmas. 

The rolling pin is made from to rectangle pieces of paper. One a bit wider than the other. The widest piece was rolled first, and the narrower piece was rolled over the top - in the middle. The cookie cutter has been made from an old soda can. I cut out two strips of metal (0,5 cm wide) from the soda can and glued them together (with the outside pattern glued together - so only the metal side could be seen). The metal strips was shaped into a cookie gingerbread man cutter and the two end pieces was glued together.

The little house is a rubber band Pop-up house. The house can be folded flat - so the tag can be sent in an envelope. When you open the envelope, the house will pop up on its own. The template for the house is my own, and this is a template I shared last year (with a tutorial)

The pop-up house has a rubber band inside, so it will pop open on its own.
