Wedding Favor Tags and Labels

I recently completed an order for a wedding in Scotland.  I had a blast designing 3 custom tags for use on wine bottles, champagne bottles and umbrellas.  The bride also ordered an assortment of other blank tags and leaf die-cuts to use throughout the wedding.  The bride and I worked together to pick the perfect shades of green and brown cardstock with her help, I was able to use the same font that was used for the invitations.
Umbrella Tags (2"x3.5") done in Bazzill Smoothie Highland Green
Top Notes done in Bazzill Canvas Brown
Die Cut Leaves done in Bazzill Ivy Canvas
Small Tags done in recycled KRAFT cardstock
(can't wait to see what these will be used for)
Square (2"x2") Tags done in Bazzill Canvas Brown

It is all the little details that really bring a wedding together and I am happy that Scrap Bits can be a part of this special day.  Thanks so much!  I can't wait to see pictures of the tags in use.  I know they'll look fantastic!

Custom Business Cards: Leave a Lasting Impression

Here are some custom business cards I recently made for Petal Patch Baby.  They are laser printed on 80lb KRAFT cardstock and handcut.  This customer was going for a "vintagey" feel and I just love how they turned out!  I will be adding Custom Business Cards on KRAFT to my Etsy shop today.

I do love paper, but I must admit I do seem to have a love affair with anything KRAFT.  In fact, it is the main focus of my Etsy shop.  There is just something about the color and texture of this paper that really draws me.  And, it is recycled too!  Looking for a creative way to leave a lasting impression of your own?  These blank business card sized cards are the perfect start to leaving a first {and lasting} impression on your customers.  Stamp on them, print on them, paint on them, collage on them . . . whatever! 



What will you do with these cards?  I would love to see your creative ideas.

Finally!

This blog is something I have been talking about for months.  So glad to FINALLY get it up.  Bear with me as I slowly add posts and features and links.  I am just happy to have gotten it started.
