So here are five ideas if you fancy having a go at making your own cards!
1. Simply wrap decorative string around the card with both ends meeting in the middle on the outer side, tie a knot to secure. Cut out a luggage tag from craft paper and adhere your message, punch a hole at the end of the tag and feed through the string, securing with a bow. Add a little glue to the top edge of the tag and position on the card as you like.
2. Simply use a punch to stamp out your chosen shape from a different craft papers and add a small amount of glue to adhere to the card!
3. Cut out a rectangle of craft paper, a smaller rectangle of fabric and a smaller rectangle again with your printed message. Layer on the card with a small amount of glue.
4. Cut out small triangles from different craft paper (you can make a template but it worked fine just cutting free hand from a strip of paper). Glue onto the card in an arc. Make two small bows from decorative string and adhere to each end.
5. Add any embellishment you wish to a mini peg. Cut out a rectangle of craft paper and add your printed message. Add to the peg and glue the peg to the card.
Looking back over these has reminded me how much I enjoyed making them! My husband gave me a set of wooden alphabet stamps for my birthday (which I may have been hinting at for a while), the bunting card would look so sweet with a little message stamped on the bunting!
Happy Thursday :)
I like the bunting one; it looks really easy to make. The only problem I think I'd have is with the glue bleeding through the paper.
ReplyDeleteThe craft paper tends to be thicker than standard paper, more like thin card so the glue doesn't seep through, I also find adding glue with a paintbrush helps!
DeleteI love all of these! The butterflies are so cute and I string details are perfection. xx. McKenna Lou

It is important to always carry identification when traveling, whether that is a passport, a driver’s license, or a luggage tag. The design and materials you use for your paper luggage tags matter. Most airlines provide paper tags that you can attach to your bag or suitcase. These are a good way to keep your information secure and to make the baggage claim process smoother. There are also electronic luggage tags that replace traditional sticker labels. They are very expensive, however, and are not compatible with most airlines.
