Let’s make something lovely.

  1. 01

    Choose a label die with room for a sentence or two. Cut one label for each person, following your machine’s plate instructions.

  2. 02

    Write “I’m grateful for…” on one side, leaving space for a response.

  3. 03

    On the reverse, write the year and an optional name.

  4. 04

    Set a card and pen at each place setting. Invite guests to write a note when they feel ready.

  5. 05

    Collect the cards in an envelope or punch a hole and bind them together after the meal.

A little helpful detail

Try the pen on a scrap first to check for smudging.

Make it personal

Give each person their own note to take home.

The photograph is collection inspiration, not documentation of these exact steps. Allow additional drying time. Estimated materials cost excludes equipment. Check your equipment and material instructions, verify template dimensions, and make a sample before a batch.
