Well I am embarrassed, as I should have done this post months ago. I was lucky enough to win The Story of a Seamstress giveaway for custom fabric labels from Inked Papers. Michelle was soo easy to work with and willing to try to create whatever I wanted. I never dreamed she could recreate my banner. I was just thinking of something with the same feel as my banner, maybe one of the silhouettes. Well I was over-the-moon when she sent me my labels.
I received two rolls of twin tape (the size of my choosing) with my banner, printed over and over. I am not a big sew'er and really wanted to use these gems in a creative way. I came up with these fun mini cards. I cut card stock 3" by 6" and folded the card. I snipped off a label, fringed the cut edges and stapled them to the cards. I am really happy how simple these turned out.
Thank you Atlanta and Michelle for the labels. As you can see I love them!!
Your whimsical image translates so well for a label, I love it.

These are enchanting Clarice...and you've used them in such a clever way!!! I love my cotton "Frugal Luxuries" ribbon and usually use it to wrap gifts (usually the books...perhaps you should order a Wren Bay ribbon ;). I also snip and sew them inside home sewn tote bags and the like as a label but now you've inspired me yet another use for them...they make such charming cards! You could even make a smaller version as calling/business cards with your info printed on the back(via avery labels and computer)!
Love,
Tracey

Really nice labels! I like your idea to make mini-cards with them. These would be nice calling cards with a little note inside.
