flutterscotch Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hi everyone!This summer I am going to make a bunch of Rarity-themed gift tags on my letterpress. Rarity herself will be linocut, the quote will be metal type. Probably one color, but two color if I can work out the registration properly. Its a tiny press, so here's hoping.These will probably be done on pristine white Rives BFK paper punched with a die in tag-shape and then reinforced with a complementary color reinforcement on the hole. They'll be complete with a string to tie the tag to the gift you are generously giving to folks.This might be the first in a long line of pony themed products that are actually APPROPRIATE to the character on them (a bookmark that's Twilight themed, plant-able paper card that's Applejack themed, blank party invites that are Pinkie Themed,and I am still coming up for appropriate, non-simply decorative items for Fluttershy and Rainbow. I don't just want to slap their visage on something unless it makes sense to me)Why am I doing Rarity first? Simple. I already have the purple ink, and the tag punches.Here's where you come in. I want Rarity to be saying something appropriate to gift-giving in a speech bubble.Whoever's quote I choose will get 5 tags when I am done with them in August.So what should she say?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flutterscotch Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Those are good, but a little verbose for a 3x4 tag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weesh Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I'm not quite understanding...This is basically the card that you will affix to a present that you give someone?Are they general use, or for presents for Bronies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMirrsen Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 The only thing I can think of is a pun, and sort of a reverse of what you want. It'd go with the present being sub-par."What? My name's is Rarity, not Charity." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
