Thanksgiving Workshop: Tags

I came across some fun metal ornaments a few weeks ago and used them as inspiration to make these autumn tags. Add a personal touch to a holiday gift or a bottle of wine for a hostess. I love the impression you get from the leaf printing plate paired with the gold letterpress ink.




Supplies:
L Letterpress and Epic Tools
Letterpress Paper (white, any size)
Holiday Printing Plate Set 2
Letterpress Ink
QuicKutz Nesting Die
Velvet Ribbon
Hole Punch

How To:
Cut out an oval or other nesting shape using a QuicKutz nesting die. The shape here has not been released into the QK line (sorry), but we have several similar shapes. Letterpress autumn shapes using the Holiday Printing Plate set 2 and gold and brown inks. Punch a hole in the top and add ribbon, securing with a knot, eyelet or brad.

Other Applications:
Print your guests' names onto the letterpress paper and use them as place cards for your Thanksgiving feast. Use these tags as holiday ornaments for neighbor gifts or to decorate your own themed Christmas tree.
