Journal Monday with Susan R. Opel: Gratitude Tags


Pleased first Monday of November!

Although gratitude is one thing we are able to share all yr lengthy; November tends to be the right month to replicate on bounty and blessings. Some folks flip to social media to share issues and folks they’re grateful for whereas others make the most of gratitude journals, pocket pages, or mini albums to doc thanks.

My tasks as we speak will probably be a bodily solution to present my appreciation to folks in my life. I’ve made 5 tags to jot a be aware of gratitude on the again and hand straight to those folks. There’s one thing so particular about giving one thing handmade to somebody with the data that it was made precisely for them!

The colours of the Harvest Residence Patterned Paper Pack from Harmony & 9th set the tone for my grateful tags.

Provides | Cardstock, patterned paper: Harmony & ninth; Stamps: Hero Arts; Ink: Harmony & 9th, Simon Says Stamp; Dies: Hero Arts, My Favourite Issues; Gems: Honey Bee Stamps; Twine: Garden Fawn; Adhesive: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, Simon Says Stamp; Different: Ribbon

As soon as I selected 5 patterns, I made these 5 tags mass production-style: die reduce all tags from playing cardstock, adhered paper and trim, die reduce leaves, stamped sentiments, die reduce sentiments, adhered sentiments with foam tape (the one method the leaves are adhered to avoid wasting time), added gems, and at last raided my ribbon stash for simply the suitable array of colors and textures. The twine gave the tags simply the suitable texture and final touch.

I’ve acquired the tags within the outgoing basket by my entrance door. The tags sitting there will probably be a reminder to be grateful and a reminder handy them out!

My sister and I’ve invited 30 girls from our church to come back to our home and make tags in early December, and we’re excited to share the bounty of our artful stash and a few enjoyable and easy methods to make particular handmade tags.
