I know what you are thinking. Oh, how embarrassing—poor Miss Doe has a typo in her title. Right?

Wrong. I deliberately put that question mark there because I never intended for there to be a part three. I am actually quite surprised I am writing a part three for these wish tags, but I am so glad I am. Remember how I ended my last post with wanting to tweak the color palette of the wish tags? I ran out to Michaels, again, last night to find some new supplies that would add some color to this project. By the way, I asked Mr. Buck what his guess is as to how many times I will go to Michaels before the wedding. His guess? Seventy-seven times. That seems somewhat high and dramatic, but I guess we will see when it is all said and done.

Well, I kind of did more than just tweak the color palette. More like completely change the entire thing. I thought that I should use our colors for the wedding. If I use sage-colored tags with light pink embossing, then maybe the wish tags would look like little leaves on the tree. I ended up buying large squares of card stock and then cutting them down into 4″ x 6″ squares. This was much cheaper than using the pre-cut tags, and I was able to make them bigger to give our guests more room for writing.

After I cut all the squares, I ran them through the printer like I showed you how to do in part one. Only this time I made the font larger and added more lines for writing. I also invested a whole three dollars in a corner rounder. Best thing ever—it made these tags look so much nicer. I also bought a heart-shaped hole punch for the top to string the ribbon through. Although this is the must frustrating hole punch EVER. It punches upside down—ridiculous, right? And no, I am not doing it wrong. I am not sure what to do about that yet. I think I will just have to either have upside-down hearts or just use a regular hole punch.

I also bought pale pink embossing powder. Completely glitter free. Remember when I mentioned here how I should be restrained from glitter? Yeah, in part two of this series I used glitter. I now have glitter sprinkled throughout my house, on my dogs, and embedded on my couch. I should have just said no to the glitter. So this time around I used no glitter, only solid pink ink. I embossed the exact same way as I showed you in part two.

I now present to you the tweaked (ahem, completely redone) wish-tag project.

Now I get to tackle building the actual tree where these cute wish tags will hang.

How many times did it take you to perfect a project? Also, does anyone know where I can find a heart-shaped hole punch that punches RIGHT SIDE UP?
