Homemade Label for Homemade Treats

Food label and gift tag designed for a client's homemade treats

I designed these labels for my friend (and #1 fan), Carrie. I have been turning away graphic design work lately because I want to focus on a few new ventures. But I couldn’t say no because she really is the best kind of client. She gives me a few boundaries, like color and size, but then lets me be completely creative. Most importantly, she trusts me.

Carrie wanted stickers and a tag for all of the homemade goodies she makes and gives to family and friends. This is not a business for her (yet), but I still wanted to create some branding. I gave her several ideas, but I love what she chose best because it reflects a playful side of her. The concept was to create something that looked like a coloring book. She has two young boys who loooove art and I thought it would be really fun to have them color in the tags. This way, they are always fresh and stay with the theme of “homemade”.

For these tags, we used some of my favorite coloring markers. If you invest in any of them, pick the Letrasets. They are beautiful!

Supplies: Le Pen // Letraset //  Yummy mini highlighters // Le Plume // 1/16″ Hole punch // chunky Baker’s twine

As always, happy Monday!

      Thank you Adria! This was a custom label, but I am working on some printables for later in the summer 🙂
