If you've been following my blog for a while now you’ll know
that I take pride in packaging my items before shipment. I love to provide a
whimsical experience for my customer; and I’m always trying new ways to make my
packaging look super adorable. Not only do I enjoy trying new ways to say thank
you to my customers, I also like sharing how I go about doing making them too.
I love to use paper-scrapes from previous crafting projects
and I’m going to show everyone how I use my lovely paper-leftovers. Saving your
paper scrapes is so crucial because you can sometimes use those scraps for
other projects like tags, toppers, and stamp image paper piecing. I have a box
filled of different color paper scrapes and I love to go back to that box and
search for the color pieces I need before starting from a full sheet of paper.
This time around I’m scraping (pun intended) my ‘Thank you’ card and instead started making the ‘Thank
you’ circular tag with a washi tap accent. Really quickly—if you’re unfamiliar
with washi tap, it’s a Japanese tape that lots of crafters use for decorating
cards, tags, etc. Go ahead and give it a google if you’d like to learn more
about them; and, to find the store that I buy my washi tape from you can click

So, I’m using ivory leftovers for my ‘thank you’ tags, and as you can see I have lots of them!
I’m also using my ‘thank you’ stamp courtesy of Lawn Fawn. I
absolutely love that they provide a free gift stamp with all their orders. It
makes receiving their packages even more fun.
I’m also using one of my favorite Lawn Fawn sets ‘Love ‘n
breakfast’ for this thank you tag and I’m using my 2 inch craft punch.
…and this is how I use the stamps
Next, I simply color in the images and place some washi tape
on the back of the tag to seal my bag (but sometimes I skip this process if I’m
not using a craft bag), then I apply some more washi tape over the tag to
secure it. That’s it! It’s cute, simple, and whimsical.
