TV-shop/service tag

Hello and welcome, 

Today I have a tag to share. When Tim released the small tv-die I knew exactly what I was going to make! 

Here is the result:


I used an Etcetera tag as a base for this tag.


I used some Tim Holtz designpaper as a background, and then I used stamps and stencils on the paper. I used my sewing machine around the edges. 


As it was when these tv:s were in the shops there was various kinds of “frames”. For example tree, plastic or metal. The customers could choose from different colors and also if they wanted a black/white tv or a color tv. 

I used wood veneer in various colors on some of the tv:s and metal or paper on some of the frames. I also used photos of the “test piqture” that was shown between the programmes on Swedish television when I was a child.  There was only two channels to choose from, and if you wanted to change channel you had to switch on a button on the actual tv, no remote controls. 🙂



I don’t have the small mat box die that fits with this tv-die so I made the boxes myself. 


I used overhead plastic for the glass on the tv:s.


Metallic paper for some of the antennas. And some hardware heads for the “sign”.


I used etcetra trims as shelves for the tv:s. All metallic paper used on this tag is sanded and then inked with Distress ink Scorched timber.

I will try this tag over at Simon says stamp - Monday challenge - Add some metal

Thank you very much for visiting,
