A Little Sumthin’ Sumthin’ Gift Box kit

A Little Sumthin’ Sumthin’ Gift Box kit

I've been working on more gift boxes today. This time I was trying out one of the kits we have in the main catalogue. The Little Sumthin' Sumthin' Simply Created Gift Box kit makes 10 decorated pillow boxes for £12.50. All you need to add is a little adhesive and a...

Ornamental Pine Cafe Bag

Ornamental Pine Cafe Bag

There are so many gift wrapping options from SU! this year. The Petite Cafe Gift Bags have been designed to arrive as flat as possible so that you can stamp directly onto them. They're food safe - there's an internal cello type liner and you seal the bag by simply...

That’s the Ticket Halloween treat

That’s the Ticket Halloween treat

Halloween is creeping up on us like a big fat juicy spider - wahahaha! Too much? Sorry I'll drop the spookiness levels 😉 But … Halloween will be here a week tomorrow so I'll be sharing a few more ideas for Halloween treats for family or trick or treaters over the...

I've shared a lot of boxes made with the Gift Box Punch Board since I got it (and there's still more to come 🙂 ). This is absolutely one of my favourite products from the Autumn/Winter catalogue  (and that's a tough choice because there are so many great things)...

Curvy Keepsake swap

I had a great time this morning catching up with my crafty friends - that was a real tonic after all my internet frustrations of late (not that they’re fixed yet - just that I was able to have good whinge to people that understand). 🙂 And of course it wasn’t all...
