New Paper Goodies In The Shop!

Time off means lots of fun working on new things for the shop!

Check out how cute these hearts are!  They are made from recycled envelope paper.

I needed something to write the number of items in packages and this was a really cute way to do it.  If you have a paper punch, consider making some of your own!  They look like so much fun and I have been using quite a lot of them.

I happened to find a pink envelope and that was one of the best parts  :)

I have also been making 3D paper flowers!

I needed a few big ones to make a mother's day card and now I have a whole collection of them!

I sell the petal layers in my shop, so you can make some too!

You can choose them in different designs and colours.

Look at all the different flower designs I made!  There are matching leaves too!

Purple butterflies are now in the shop too.

I have them available in assorted small sizes and some big ones too.  They are perfect for writing messages on and hanging from a decorative tree at a wedding or baby shower. 

Speaking of wedding decor, the classic white butterflies that I used to carry in my shop are back! 

I have designed a few new shapes as well so you have more options!

F is the classic butterfly shape, but look at all the other options!

I even made some swallowtail butterfly shapes.  They are quite lovely. 

I also made a few more detailed shapes.  I am quite pleased with how they turned out.

I tested a few of the shapes out and they look quite good.

My favourite were the monarch butterflies.  This monarch butterfly has rounded wing tips.

This one has scalloped, more pointed wing tips.

They both turned out quite lovely.

I made a few SUPER detailed butterflies.

They look amazing, but they cannot be made in small sizes.  The details are so fine that they must be made large or the details will turn to mush in the machine!  I'm going to test out a big one soon.  I think they would look nice on a card.

I have been busy!  What do you think of all the new paper products?

As a side comment, let me know if you need these shapes in dxf, silhouette cameo, jpeg, pdf, or other formats.  You can contact me through my shop for more details.

Cheerio!

Piles of Elephants

My sweetie bought me a giant stack of new scrapbooking papers so my desk is covered with new origami elephants.  They make me happy.

They look funny all fallen over.

I'm also loving these new papers.  The variety means that I can make lovely new colour combinations that inspire me.  

I started off with some papers that reminded me of East Indian textiles.

Then I put together a marvelous collection of papers that look like paintings.  I love this set!

These pretty floral prints looked just right together in a sort of shabby chic rose collection.

And in the process of collecting the flower papers, I found that these orange, yellow, and blue-grey-green papers fit well together.  They remind me of an orange creamsicle in the summertime.

If you'd like to see more pictures.  You'll find them in the shop!

It has been pretty busy in the shop lately.  I think that a lot of customers are preparing for weddings and babies.  The elephants and butterflies are popular as party and baby room decor.

Have a great week!

Paper Butterfly Bonanza

Prepare for butterfly overload. While I've been recovering from final exams, I've been cutting paper butterflies.

I now carry blue, green, and yellow paper butterflies in the shop.

Paper butterflies in green shades that look so pretty! I am loving these fresh green colours!

Peach shades that make you feel mellow and good...

For instance, you can make mini birthday ninja cards! I do love my ninjas :)
And my life wouldn't be complete without a set of these in those lovely green colours :)

All of these paper butterflies are happily waiting for you in my shop. Hop on over to enjoy some paper butterfly loveliness.

A Happy Family Christmas

Christmas was very merry at my house this year. In the morning, my sister baked a fresh batch of festive mini cupcakes.

Unfortunately, they weren't for me to eat. They were a custom order!
She started baking goodies this year for the Baker's Market, and people have been placing orders for pies and treats like these. Aren't they yummy looking!?

Here's a pic of Christmas dinner. My parents outdid themselves this year.

These little cocktail sausages were so yummy. They had little juicy pockets of mozzarella cheese in them!

Here's one of the glass bowls full of chocolates and cookies.
And here is the chocolate fountain. We put a whole box of truffles in there and then lots of cream and milk to get it to the right consistency to flow properly in the fountain. It was a lot of fun! We dipped apple pieces, pineapple pieces, banana slices, cookies, cake, nuts... you get the idea!These are some of the presents I wrapped up this year. I got a lot of good gifts this year too. Santa was good to me. My favourite were some clear Sterilite containers that perfectly hold my fabric stash. Now I can stop worrying about them collecting dust!

I also got a nifty thread spool holder for my growing collection of thread colours.

Check out the new pouches I made today! I figured I'd make some for the shop since I've been neglecting that lately. So, if you've been eyeing some of the pouches, you can now pick your favourite from my shop!

If you have some requests for another specific one, just let me know.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Matchbook Notebooks Bonanza

I had an order for matchbook notebooks today and I realized with a start that I had sold out of my stock! So I set out to make a new stash.

As you can see, once I got started, the stash grew quickly.

Here are some of them packaged into sets of 2, ready to be mailed out.

I read in the Etsy forums that customers often want multiples of items, but they don't want to go to the trouble of contacting the seller to make them a custom order. With this in mind, there are now matchbook notebooks available in sets of 2, 6, and 12.

That should make your gift giving much easier :)

Have a happy weekend! I'll be busy studying for my final exams next week now that I've taken my proper break.

Cheerio!
