Bespoke Gift Packages

Just squeezing the last couple of festive items I’ve made as gift packaging – bespoke gift packaging using my favourite Merry Merlot and Gray Granite colour combo this year.   The distinctive stamped bow (from Wishing you Well) is an all time favourite too and it finishes off a project beautifully without the bulk.  I really […]

Peaceful Noel – Petal closure Box

Last Christmas Project for this year – it’s a wrap!  Literally – lol!  I made this in the Joyous Noel Specialty DSP originally, but because of its popularity, demand outstripped supplies and sadly I then had to go back to the drawing board to make it with different papers!

Imagine my […]

I die cut several “Thank You” sentiments in Whisper White and one in Soft Sea Foam.  […]
