Grateful Tag Notebook with Tin and Matching Card by Melissa Phillips

FOR TAG NOTEBOOK

1. Cut tags from white cardstock to fit inside tin.
2. Using Scallop Edger Punch to scallop bottom edge of tag and back with coordinating paper from kit, so that it shows from underneath just a bit.
3. Embellish each tag with journaling prompts from the cardstock sticker sheet included in the kit. Choose prompts that will inspire you or someone you love to write down feelings related to that particular phrase. Space on the back of each tag allows for plenty of thoughts.
4. If you choose to use the chipboard wings they can be embellished in many ways, such as with paper, buttons, or I like to paint them with ivory paint, sand a bit to distress, and then coat with white glitter to shabby them up a bit. These can be topped with a cardstock sticker expressing a favorite quote or phrase from the sticker sheet.
5. The stamp included in the kit can also inspire journaling and is fun to include on one or more of these tags.
6. Attach tags together at the top by using the beaded chain included with the chipboard wing set.
7. These will fit perfectly into the tin for safe keeping.

FOR TIN
