Teacher or Work Colleague Gift Ideas.


Why give Lollipops when you can give handy, useful Paperclips!

Dressed to look like lollipops these paperclip sets make a simple gift.
Bows or Flowers.
Each clip slides off the holder and are ready for use.

It's the simple things....


Fun Tags - Made from Journal-ling Cards.


Project Life Journal-ling Cards.

I just love the sentiments and colour way of these cards and thought well they don't have to be
just for journal-ling...  I've embellished each tag with either paper flowers, pearls, ribbon etc.
(8 cm wide x 12 cm high)  These would be lovely on any gift bag. 
  


Birds of a Feather...

Paper Feathers. 

Made from old sheet music.  Each feather is stamped with inspiring words.
Two sided.
What would you use these for?

Treat Bags - All sizes.

Small Kraft tote bags with peg closures. 

10 cm wide x 15 cm high x 5 cm deep


Embossed Lunch Bag Treat Holders with peg closure and lace embossed tag.

Cute doily adds a country feel to this favour bag.
11 cm wide x 15 cm high.


Embossed Kraft Treat Bag with floral peg closure.

Kraft paper is thicker than many designer papers.  

Cute doily and floral peg closures add a country feel,
 these bags are great for work colleagues or ladies luncheon treat bags.
9 cm wide x 15 cm high.


Tag You're It....


I love these Tiny Tags.
Is it the kraft paper, or the images, or the cuteness of the bundles? 
I'm not sure...I just like the look.  

Tags are two layers, folded at the top, each have a twine tie - (5 cm x 2.5 cm), pack of 5.

Larger Tags.
These would be perfect for a simple white or black tote bag with a hessian or dark brown bow.
(5 cm x 10 cm)

Brown paper packages tied with string.....

Certainly, one of  my favourite things.


Seed Packet - in Kraft...

 I found this great Washi Tape in a cute shop in Newtown, Sydney.  
Hounds-tooth pattern, as you can see the colour of the pegs show through
so they look quite different.

 Tags to slip inside the Seed Packet Envelopes below.

Seed Packet Sets ready to use for any gift.

Individual Seed Packets and Tags.

Story Book Pages - Re purposed

Letter and Note Card Envelopes made from story book pages.
Story books, especially old ones, are made with such lovely paper.  
The images are perfect to add just that little extra to any note.

Chilly Weather Card Making...


What a great idea, same card recipe, different colour way and sentiment.  

Another quick idea, stamp your own design on c/stock.

Cute little booties for cute little beauties.   
Of course the booties are made using  the Christmas Stocking Punch.
Too Easy!

Just Because....they looked so cute.
My tip is to go to Pinterest.com and check out paper crafting or Stampin Up card ideas.  
Something is bound to catch your eye, add your take/twist and make it your way.
