Homemade & Handcrafted: Gift Tags

As Creative Director, I have exercised my right to experiment last week and tried three new takes on the homemade tags.   I used embossing powder on wood (which incidently is chopped painstakingly slow, by hand, from a Jenga-style game piece) - this tag needs much more finesse before I can put them in the shop.  I also made faux leather tags using my own homemade polymer clay - they look much more convincing in real life, albeit they aren't flexible like real leather and they dont feel like real leather, but they certainly look good - I may have to make more! Lastly I stamped butterflies onto a white heart.

Then using some 'wood' contact paper I packaged some up to give as gifts. 
We've no ink in the printer at the moment so I had to hand stamp the label - this needs work, I'll admit!
