Perfectly Wrapped Project Kit video

On Sunday and Tuesday this week I shared the bags and boxes that I made from this Perfectly Wrapped project kit but you may still be wondering how difficult it is to make them? SU! have a video that shows how straight forward they all are: One other tip that I'd add,...

Botanicals Tag and a tip

Botanicals Tag and a tip

Just in case you've missed the buzz, we're fast heading towards a new annual catalogue (launching 1 June) and have a bunch of products that are retiring to make way for the new. A question I often get asked around now is "what do I do with ribbons that are retiring"?...

Birthday gift wrapping

Birthday gift wrapping

It may be Christmas but it's still birthday time! A good friend has her birthday tomorrow (Christmas Eve, the same as my Gran's was) and I wanted to make sure that the wrapping was just as special for her birthday gifts as the Christmas gifts. I also wanted to make...

Spiral flower die gift tag

Spiral flower die gift tag

I'm loving the new Spiral Flower die but … the flowers are so 3d that they can't easily be popped in a standard envelope and put in the post. I'll be making boxes for any cards that I add these flowers to, but in the meantime I decided to make a tag that can be tied...
