It's so nice to see you!
Last week, I updated the look of some plain gift tags by adding some baker's twine and floral fodder:
But I made so many, I thought, "Why not share these gift tags?"
It reminded me of the stationery swap kits that I've been fortunate to receive from fellow stationery lovers.
This envelope was from Kelsey (@kelsonplanning) who I met at a travel journaling workshop. She gave everyone an envelope!
These wax seals and washi tape collection are from Michael (@theenchanteddesk). I met him at a letter writing workshop.
Stationery lovers and journal enthusiasts are some of the most thoughtful people on earth! It wasn't required but they did it anyway as a way to share their stash. This kind gesture also made them more memorable. I felt so bad that I didn't have anything to trade with them.
So maybe it was time to make my own stationery swap kits.
I saved this printed tissue paper from a package.
I cut the paper into smaller rectangles.
I turned them into envelopes, gluing the open sides together, and leaving one side as a flap. Also, I decorated the envelope with a floral rubber stamp and a sticker label.
It serves as packaging for my handmade gift tags...TADA! I can also include D.I.Y. stickers and handmade stationery.
On the blank labels, I can write "Handmade for You," "A Little Something for You" or personalize with the recipient's name. I can even add my business card or links to my website and social media accounts if I want to make more lasting connections.
And that is how I turned some plain paper from blah to TADA! I can't wait to make more stationery swap kits so that I'm ready when the occasion calls for it.
