Shop Update: Custom Printed Kraft Bags
I’ve offered custom printed kraft bags in my shop for some time now, but recently I’ve had several requests for smaller bags… and I’ve delivered! These bags are great for small favors and gifts, and even packaging for your shop. You could use them as place cards for your guests or even have your wedding menu printed on them.
I printed the bags below for a customer and I just love the way they turned out.
The bags currently come in two sizes, large (5″x7.5″) and small (3.25″x5.75″). You can find them both here in my shop.

How To: Little Library Card Notebooks
Let’s learn how to make these little notebooks! They’re perfect for jotting short notes or lists. It’s also a fun way to use up your paper scraps.
You will need:
– a stapler (make sure it has staples)
– scrap paper (graph paper, handwriting paper, etc.)
– cardstock (library cards, index cards, old postcards, etc.)
– paper trimmer (or scissors, x-acto knife, etc.)
– bone folder (or a spoon)
optional:
– embellishments such as stamps, stickers, labels
– corner rounder
Instructions:
1. Trim your paper the same size as your card. I used a 3″ x 5″ card, with 6 sheets of scrap paper cut down to 3″ x 5″. This will give you 12 sheets/24 pages per notebook. You can also tear your paper down to size, for a different look. To do this, lay a ruler on top of your sheets and tear along the edge of the ruler.
2. Fold paper in half and crease with a bone folder. Do the same to your card. Place the folded paper inside the folded card, and crease again.
3. Make sure everything is lined up and folded nicely. Then carefully unfold your notebook and staple once or twice along the outside folded edge.
4. Done! You can round the corners of your notebook for a neater look, or add some cute stamped images.
If you’re looking for library cards, you can find them for sale in my shop here.
Tips: To make your notebooks flatter, stick them under a pile of heavy books for a day or two.
Where the heck do you get a corner rounder? I got mine here from Amazon; it’s a Zutter Round-It-All and it’s a pretty neat tool. You can’t trim a ton of paper at once like you can with a (very expensive) commercial rounder, but it handles these notebooks just fine.
