Tags made out of scraps
The days and weeks leading up to CHA (Craft & Hobby Association), I was really busy working on projects for different booths. What this left me was a huge mess, and a ton of scraps. If it is a nice card stock or a pattern paper, I try to find a use for it. I had a small scrap of kraft paper left, and if you love kraft card stock like I do, there is no way you are getting rid of it. Looking at the scrap paper, I could tell it was just big enough to make a few tags, but too small to make a card, so I went with the tags.
The paper was 4 1/4 x 8 inches, so all I needed to do was trim the tags to a length that I liked. I went with 2 1/4 in width by 4 1/4 long. Now this next part was just pure luck. As I was trying to figure out what stamps to use (because I new I would use the MME So Sophie pattern paper), I grabbed my Cake Shoppe Too stamps from Mint Motif (sold through iheartpapers). I took a look at the bottom layer of the largest cakes and they all fit perfectly. I love it when things happen like that.
My children start school in 2 weeks, so I will put these tags in a basket, with other cards, gift cards and such. My children are known to tell me with zero notice that they need a birthday card, present whatever, so it is nice to have things done and prepared for when it happens.
Materials Used:
Kraft card stock
twine
May Arts ribbon
MME So Sophie pattern paper
