Planning for Fall

The apples on our trees are quickly telling me that in a week or so, I will be busy making applesauce, pies, and who knows what other goodies I'll come up with.

In preparation for this years canning season, I came up with some new canning sticker designs. By nature, I'm an embellisher...if there is such a word. I enjoy adding a "little something" extra to most things that I do. So, with that in mind, I embellished these vintage inspired canning stickers with felt buttons and some raffia bows.

I'm excited to get started "putting up" this year's bounty, and use these fun labels for gift giving.

Rainbow Button Stickers

Making these darling little button labels was like being a kid in a candy store! Rubber stamping, a favorite of mine; rainbow of colors that are so bright, and then top them off with adorable little buttons...what could be more fun?

I originally planned these stickers for canning jars, but they can be used as name tags, gift labels, and even organizational tags. Just a couple of additional thoughts on ways to use these cuties. Do you have any ideas? Let me know.

Rose Buds Gift Card Holder

I hand cut and folded this Rose Buds Gift card holder. It speaks of spring time birthday's, garden parties, weddings, bridal showers, baby showers and graduation.

The rose buds background print is folded out of heavy weight double sided card stock, and is made to enclose a "gift card" in the pocket on the front of the card. It's soft beige and peach/pink tones make an elegant card.

It also has a place for you to write your greetings and wishes on the inside of the card on creamy beige polka dot print and tuck the "gift card" into the outer pocket.
Outside fold comes with mini stick on pearls and sheer ribbon.

I love having this type of card on hand for the unplanned needed gift. Just purchase the recipients favorite "gift card" and slip in the enclosed pocket and you have a nice card and gift that Wows!
