Tag It Tuesday Facebook Group
Tag it Tuesday is a Facebook group that I joined last year. It focuses on making tags and ATC cards. The junk journal dragon cover that I uploaded while ago got full so quickly because I decided to use it to store the tags.
In the group, some themes are given every month and based on the conditions, we make tags and ATC cards and upload them to FB.
There are different guidelines that we follow each month such as techniques, materials, shapes and colours, etc. There are so many things I didn’t know so I research and trying new things when I make them every month.
The members are very friendly and it is interesting to see various works made under the same guidelines. Also, there are no strict deadlines, so I could enjoy doing the projects without stress or pressure. I only actually joined in April of last year, but I did all the projects going back to January.
If you are interested, please join us!
Tag it Tuesdayは、私が昨年参加したFacebookのグループです。 毎月、タグとATCカードを作ります。 以前のブログにアップしたドラゴンのジャンクジャーナルカバーは、このタグの保存に使うことにしたので、あっという間にいっぱいになりました。
グループでは毎月いくつかのお題が出され、その条件に合わせてタグやATCカードを作成し、FBにアップロードします。
お題の条件は技術、素材、形、色など、毎月いろいろありますが知らなかったことがたくさんあるので、毎月、新しいことを調べたり試したり試しながら作っています。
グループのメンバーはとてもフレンドリーで、同じ条件下で作られたさまざまな作品を見るのはとても興味深いです。 また、厳しい締め切りがないので、ストレスやプレッシャーを感じることなくプロジェクトを楽しんでいます。 私は昨年の4月に参加しましたが、1月まで遡って作成しました。
ご興味のあられる方は是非参加してくださいね。

These are so lovely! And what a wonderful idea! I’d love to do something like this for my mandala students. I’m going to set them a monthly challenge along the same vein. Thank you so much for the idea! They make such a lovely set. I have to admit though, I’ve never heard of ATC cards. Do people swap them?
Hi Kathryn. Yes, people don’t swap ATC (Artist Trading Cards), although I’ve never done it personally! I think it would be a great thing to do with your mandala students! x
Each set is gorgeous, i think feb and june my favs – its a good way to try new styles techniques out and its good to challenge ourselves even if we decide in the end that style isn’t for us. I hope you are holding in there ok. Lots of hugs Emmax
Thanks, Emma! Yes, I agree, it’s a great way to try new things in a small form factor, without using too many materials. Stay safe in Cornwall! x
My you were busy last year! Each one a gorgeous miniature piece of art, love Aug & Dec especially. I remember taking part in a monthly topper challenge several years back which was fun … would love more spare hours to craft but just grateful I can squeeze in some here and there. PS more Meerkats coming soon! Steph x
I guess lockdowns and not being able to do much else was a big factor in me getting more craft work done! I know there had to be something positive to say about 2020! Haha! Looking forward to more meerkats – I will keep an eye on my-paper-corner.blogspot.com! x
