I usually never make just one of something, so here's the second one I made---the tag is blank on this one - waiting for the monogram letter of the person I choose to give it to.

Here's a picture tutorial of how I made these vintage pockets.
Step 1: Begin with a double sided 5 x 9 1/2 inch piece of paper

Supplies used in mine:

- Misc. Buttons/thread/ribbon
- Ribbon Roses

I'd love to see your take on it.

These are beautiful, and they look pretty easy to do. I was thinking they would also be nice to hold a note or as a tag with a note in it on a gift. I love K & Company papers, too; I use them a lot! Thanks for sharing!
beautiful!
