Lace Gift Tag "How To"

 How do you make a sweet little gift tag, that will make a big impact?


Easy.

You will need: 
* package of White Boards that are used to make artist trading cards. I like them because they are thicker then card stock , (same as mat board, but already cut for you!).  
*lace
*Mod Podge
*seam binding, or ribbon
*embellishments,  (I used a key, a birds nest,  a glass glittered egg, and a wooden to/from tag). 
.

*punch a hole in the corner of the cardboard
*apply a thick layer of Mod Podge
*place lace on top of mod podge, and trim to size
*add another layer of Mod Podge on top of the lace, 
*trim lace from punched hole, and add seam binding or ribbon, and charms 
*If you want an embellishment on the body of the tag, such as a birds nest or another charm, glue it on now
*allow tag to dry

Using a small glassine bag as an envelope completes the look of this tag, and remember to write something sweet on the bag side of this gift tag! 

Have a beautiful Wednesday,

White Wednesday Style

While on a little vacation, I entered a shop that literally, for a moment, took my breathe away. Farm tables (too big to fit in the car), and beautiful creamy white and ivory papers. There were French books, packets of ephemera, stacks of slightly yellowed cards inscribed with beautiful words, placemats, and lined tablets. 

A large book of tear out placemats and a lined tablet filled with gathered thoughts were quickly purchased by mwa, (I really love all the glorious shades of "white" paper).  



Placemats aren't just for breakfast anymore. I can see a wrapped gift box, (think bridal shower), drawer liners, a kitchen picture, kitchen bulletin board background paper, or even used as a runner for my revamped table,  


 


Each page of the "Gathered Thoughts" stack shares a little bit of daily inspiration. Who knows where this paper will end up, but I'll be sure to point it out to you when it happens!
