Hello and welcome to the Piles of Paragraphs Creative Space! I’m Lori, and today I’m creating my tags for the Grungy Tag Challenge 2026 – February, where the prompt is “folded.” In this video, I create grungy, vintage-style art tags using collage, coffee-dyed paper, scraps, rub-ons, stamps, and a handmade folded envelope.

I share my creative process, talk about finding inspiration, and give a special thank you to Joey Cardmaker for his beautiful labels and inspiring take on this challenge. This is a relaxed, no-stress junk journaling and mixed media session meant to encourage creativity and fun—no pressure, just play!

Here's a link to my envelope folding video: youtu.be/UZVOJ9qTIg8?si=c_PyQeGoFgLqqxUx
