Fast, Festive Sweetie Bags!

I made these little sweetie bags for a craft fair I did just before Christmas - I mad loads of them, all from scraps of card from my scraps box!!

They didn't last long, i took them to a fair at a school and a teacher brought nearly all of them before the doors opened as little gifts for her class!



My favourite scallop punch again, it really is great for everything!

A Very Sweet Thank You Gift...

Some of you may already know that I work in a school (Especially if you have followed me here from my general craft blog) and since i have been there i have taken on a special job from my boss (the Head Teacher!) the special job it to make christmas thank you gifts for all of the staff (50) on a tight budget!

Behold this years effort!



I found these very yummy and pretty sweets in Lidl, they looked quite cheery!



I popped 4 sweeties in a cello bag, tied with ribbon and attached a little tag, the words were printed on the computer and punched using the small tag punch (pg 88) It was great as i just turned the punch over and lined the message up before punching so quick and simple!! Another good thing about the tag punch is that it does not punch a hole so you can punch a normal one or use a shaped punch for a special twist! You can also layer the 2 differnt size tags on top of each other for some added luxury!

Christmas Girft :: Sweetie Jars...

These Jars are so cute! I filled them with retro sweeties like pear drops, cola cubes and cola bottles - all my families favourites!

They are actually spice jars from ikea but are the perfect size to be adorned with my favourite punch!!

I am going to do another batch of these as eater gifts, i have my eye on the little bunny from the forest friends set (pg39) and the eater wishes stamp from the Occasional Greetings set (pg25) to decorate them with a fill them with some scrummy little eggs!
Sorry for the easter talk...but if it is good enough for the supermarkets!

Snowman Poop...

I made a big batch of this lovely poop, it went down a treat with my family!!

I have used normal and chocolate marshmellows, they are the mini ones you use for cooking, they were a batgain at 69p for a large bag and make a great treat! You could use some chocholate covered nuts or rasins or even yoghurt coved fruit for a healthier option!

Packaging was printed on the computer and yes, its my favourite scalloped punch again! It is just the perfect Seal!

Hope you got more than poop for chrsitmas!!

Some Little Christmas Gifts...Teabags!

I love this little stamp, it looks so nice dressed up with some flat backed jems and it takes seconds...which is great as i stamped 25 of them!

The trees are stamped with old olive ink and are from the fun and fast notes set (pg 38 of the catalogue)
When i got this set the words were attached to the bottom of the images but i snipped them off with my rubber scissors(before your remove the bit that covers the sticky) and then mounted the words on the edge of the wooden block so i could stamp the words and images seperately - giving me 16 stamps really! This way you can stamp the words, the image or both together if wanted!

The stamped and decorated images were mounted on a die cut bos, which contained 2 tea bags, i printed the little peom on the computer

A great gift for people you don't get to see over the festive period!
