Thanks for all of the sweet compliments everyone! I so love doing this kind of junk and hope it inspires someone out there

 

 

The tags are stickers on paper. I have basically gone nutso with the whole sticker thing ~ my name is Autumn and I'm addicted to making stickers for my wedding. I made a .ppt template that has the circles and then I put all kinds of stuff inside, print on the full sheet of sticker paper then punch out with a 1.5" circle punch. I also have a 2" punch that looks like an ornament. Punch out a bunch of those, plop on the sticker, punch a hole at the top, attach with ribbon ~ and voila ~ instant tag!

Mine are just solid colors- how did you do the tags are they stickers?

 

Patti, we are getting so close! And oh my, the wedding room is getting a little out of control with all the projects. My planning thread is on the to do list so hopefully I can post it next week! It makes me so happy to hear about people having fun at Dreams. Eek I can't wait to get there!

Autumn, I wish I would have read this before I made my wedding logo oval. If it were round the sticker thing would be easier for me i think. hmmm

 

Do you think there is a way to easily get my logos onto stickers? wow, i am really green when it comes to the DIY projects. You are unbelievable. So, you are giving 2 maracas to each guest right? Adorable!

Nicole ~ Your logo with the lime is so frickin cute! You can def make stickers out of it. Fiskars makes oval punches. Or you could print them and then cut them as squares. PM me if you want some help
