my DIY "luggage tag" magnet STD

[MauiBride2B]

Since I have gotten so many ideas from this wonderful website, I thought I should return the favor. I sent out these STD's in Christmas cards back in December so I could save on postage The only problem was that our date changed (to a day earlier) a month after I already sent them out. But thankfully I could post that on our wedding website so everyone was aware of the update.

 

 

Here's what I used:

Magnets: 3.5" x 2" adhesive magnets purchased in a box of 100 from Staples

Paper: Avery Clean Edge Business Cards (#8873) - Linen Textured, Two-Side Printable white Ink Jet cards. 2" x 3.5"

Tags: "Paper Reflections" Creative Tags - Small 4-1/4" x 2-1/8" - purchased from Joann Fabrics

Ring Punch: Martha Stewart Embossed Diamond Ring double craft punch purchased from Michael's

Teal Raffia

Scotch Scrapbooker's Glue with 2-way applicator (This stuff is the best!)

 

Here's how I did it:

Downloaded the free software Avery Design Pro and used the template for #8873 paper

Purchased the palm artwork from iStockPhoto

 

All of the design was done in Avery Design Pro. It was super easy to use and allowed me to customize everything! I also created a black border around the outside of the card to differentiate the card from the tag because they weren't the same "whites". The cards came in a perforated sheet so I didnt have to cut a thing! I attached the card to the tag with the scotch glue and then put the magnets on the back. I punched out the diamond rings from silver scrapbook paper and finally tied the ring to the tag with the raffia/ribbon.

 

Everyone loved them!
