A card for Christopher's nursery keyworker

Letters cut out using my Slice, the papers and the stickers are all from Tesco.
She seemed really chuffed with it so I am pleased :o)

A brown paper bag - turned into a gift bag

I'm rather pleased with these, these are 2 gift bags that I have made for my mum for Christmas. 

They started life like these:

Turned into these:

I cut the shape out using my Slice, backed it with acetate that I got from as an off-cut from the laminate machine (I love freebie recycling), I used my 1 inch circle punch to cut the top holes, the stickers were a couple of random sets I bought last Christmas but didn't use. The ribbon came as another freebie. My friend bought some new PJ's and this ribbon was wrapping them. Lol. 

I'm really pleased with how these have turned out and its a little more interesting that just wrapping the flavoured sugar tubs that are in the bags x

Buttons

These were some of the buttons they did, I couldn't fit the whole shelving unit in the picture, lol

A couple of random wedding cards

These aren't for anyone, they were just because i fancied doing a couple and wanted to try out a couple of different size hearts on the front to see how much of a difference it made.

I think I prefer the smaller hearts but I like the colours in this one. 

Both of them will be personalised when it comes to actually sending them.

A baby card for my cousin

My ever faithful SWALK baby stamp, the papers are Sweet Owl that I bought in Dunelm a few months ago, the safety pin button I got from an amazing shop down in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, they had an immense amount of buttons.I'm sure you could probably find them online too.

Happy Crafting

Oooo.... New cutter!!

The blades on my other cutter were going really blunt really quickly so I thought I'd invest in another cutter. This beauty was £50, reduced to £30. Its made my purple cow who do loads of different blades too so I am looking forward to using it :o)
