It’s made from heavy white cardstock and then die cut by me. It is assembled so that it will stand on it’s own. It can be customised with your names and wedding date if required.

Then all you have to do is sit it on your candy buffet or dessert table! It’s so stylish! Wording can be changed to anything you like and and colours can be changed to match your wedding theme.

They had made some absolutely gorgeous chocolate bicuit Christmas puddings. A great alternative for those who don’t like the normal fruit based puddings.

These custom tags are perfect for businesses to add to their handmade products as I can customize the text and graphic for you.

Each tag is designed and then die-cut to give the nice tag shape. They are then hand inked around the edges to give a vintage look.

C

The polka dot tag is heart-shaped with a scalloped edge. The edges are hand inked to give a vintage effect. The two little lovebirds sit on an inner heart, which is raised slightly from the bigger heart back. They are sharing a little kiss with floating hearts! awww!  The back of the tag is left blank for your message. The tag is finished with a hot pink ribbon.
