I have started making 3×3 tags to put on all of my orders – they serve two purposes – one to say thank you to the person that ordered and two it has their name on it so I know whose bag it is without having to look inside. I saw this idea when I visited Christina Crawford, a demo in Virginia. She had tags on all of her orders and they just looked so pretty. This week I made some fall looking ones using the Upsy Daisy stamp set. They turned out cute – the layout was one from Stampin’ Up! and I just changed the colors to suit what I needed.
Stampin’ Up! supplies used:
- Crushed Curry card stock
- Dusty Durango card stock
- Chocolate Chip card stock
- Whisper White card stock
- Upsy Daisy stamp set
- Crushed Curry ink
- Chocolate Chip ink
- Linen Thread
- Crop-a-Dile
- Tag corner punch
- Stampin’ Dimensionals
The 3×3 cards are quick and easy to make so I whipped out a small stack in no time. And then I decided to make a full size card using the exact same design, colors and stamp set. I needed a card to send off as a Thank You. Once you find a layout that you like or a color combination just adapt it to the size card that you need.
To create the large card – I stamped the daisy image twice. I made the Chocolate Chip strip a little wider and added the paper piercing along the bottom of the card. The Tag for the Thank You is also longer and the Dusty Durango circle is a 1/2″ circle on that tag.
So additional Stampin’ Up! supplies needed for the larger card include
– 1/2″ circle punch
– Paper Piercer
– Mat Pack
After having so much rain for so long this week has been beautiful with clear sunny skies. But fall is definitely here – the leaves are turning and falling to the ground faster than Greg can keep them off the yard. It would be a great time to drive up to the mountains and take some pictures.
Have a wonderful day!
i like that you made the tags! so clever that i had to look a second time to understand that those were all you and not Staples! great work. i’m going to steal it!
Another great come back, with the tags. You think to yourself, now why didn’t I think of that? So simple and yet such an elegant touch to just say a little thank you and that you are appreciated. I am going to have to take this one from you Monika, these are just too darling to pass up. The idea is fabulous and easily adaptable to all year round. You go gir! Tell that DH of yours that I think you need more “girl time” away, it seems to suite you well. Lol. Have a happy stamping day!
