Along with the gift tags, cards and notepads I've been making for presents, I decided to make some sets of mini notepads that you could just throw in your bag. I made sets of 4 mini notepads which were 3" wide by 6" high. They were made using printer paper and a piece of patterned paper and simply stapled together. To package them up I just...

For two of our nephews, we decided to get them a gift card. The gift card came in a tatty envelope so I decided to make a gift card holder for them. It was quite easy to make as I go the template from Kerry's Paper Crafts. I used a piece of patterned paper from Dovecrafts fancy Christmas and added the scallop circle with the stamped tree.  The...

This year I chose to make as many Christmas presents as I could and decided to make presents for the adult females. I decided to make sets of cards, notepads and gift tags. First I made these gift tags last month. Then I made some notepads. I used basic notepads from Wilkinson's and jazzed them up. I added kraft card to the front and then...

I just wanted to share the Sales Tracker thar I created that you could use to keep track of your orders, if you have a shop on Etsy or Folksy, for example. It's quite a simple tracker but I think it does the job and can help you keep track.      Download Sales Tracker I have created a page, which can a reached by clicking...

This is a card that I made fro my brother in laws birthday. Usually when it comes to male cards, as I've said before, I find it hard to be inspired.  This time I knew what I was going to do. I've recently bought the Basic Grey Max and Whiskers 6x6 pad as I didn't have much masculine papers and I found the stamp set at TK Maxx. It's the American...

I recently decided to make a hanging mobile and knew that I wanted to use white butterflies but I scoured the house to see what I could use as a hoop and came across 2 embroidery hoops that my mum had given me, one small and one large. I thought that they would be perfect. I chose to use the smaller one aswell and secured  it inside the larger one...

Today I thought I would give you an insight into me. Over the last 5-6 years I've suffered from Seasonal Affective disorder (S.A.D)  and would never realise how bad I was affected by it each year until spring and the sun would make me feel better. My Mum bought me a S.A.D lamp a couple of years ago and I have used it, for an hour a day a few days a...

Well I have been busy making gift tags as part of some gifts for Christmas. I really enjoy making things in bulk and packaging them all up. Is that strange? I don't know.  Anyway here are a couple of pics of some of the gift tags I've made. To package them up I just pop them in a glassine bag and add a piece of Japanese masking tape and then...

This is a card that I made for a wedding reception we went to recently.  I seem to us the same template for all the wedding cards that I make, the cake and the flower and just change up the colours and papers. To make the cake I just ran a piece of white card through the swiss dots embossing folder and cut 3 pieces which were slightly different...

Hi there, I wanted to show you the items I've added to my Folksy shop. I've made some gift tags from some Amy Butler paper. Amy Butler Gift Tags. Also, some embellishments sets. Summer Embellishments Set. Pink Bloom Circle Embellishments Set. I really enjoy making little embellishments. I like the process of punching, sewing and...

I set up a shop in Folksy a while ago but didn''t do anything else with it. Well, this week I finally got around to filling it up, well start to. At the moment there are sets of punches in it but I will graduallly be adding things. I have added a link in the sidebar at the top if you're interested in visiting it. As and when I add more, I will let you...

My Mum asked me to make a card for her friends 50th birthday and this is the card that I made. I used the Cuttlebug swiss dot embossing folder to the actual card and added a layer of yellow card on top which I inked the edges on both these pieces. The next layer was from My Minds Eye's Bloom and Grow paper and then used a piece of the yellow...

This is another masculine card that I made recently to put in my stash as there are very few masculine cards in there at the moment. I used the Cuttlebug Candy Stripe embossing folder on the first layer of card and inked it with blue and then brown. I cut the zigzag border on the spot paper and cut out the large star. The circles and small star...

The stamps sets that I bought recently was the American Crafts Enjoy stamp set and the Papermania Summer Bloom Picnic stamp set. One of the reasons that I bought the Enjoy set was because it has a small damask stamp and I really liked the teapot on the picnic set. I decided to use the damask stamp as a background and chose the purple as I think that...

I wanted to show you the tag that I made recently.  This was my first time that I had tried to emboss something using the embossing powder. Can you tell? I did make a bit of a mess with it, but I think it's ok for my first attempt and I'm just glad I didn't send the powder flying. That's my usual trick. I made the tag out of white card,...

Well this week we were supposed to be at Pontins but we only lasted one night but thats a whole other story. So i thought I would show you the card I made recently. As you may have noticed, I like to use stars on the masculine cards but I also like to use butterflies on the feminine cards. I used the daisy Cuttlebug embossing folder on the card....

Hi there, this is a pouch I made to hold some cards and envelopes that you could give as a present to someone. Hope you like it. This is the First pouch I made. ...

Today I wanted to show you the noticeboard that I have made. This started out as a Ribba frame from ikea. I then took an old noticeboard and cut the cork to fit the frame. I took out the glass, left the insert in the front and place the cork behind it. Then I just fitted the backboard back on and voila, a jazzed up noticeboard. I...
