Little Boxes...

...made using large paper scraps and my usual embellishments...

A Small Noel


Just a little heart-shaped hanger for Christmas. Covered in silver holly patterned paper and embellished with silver peel-0ff snowflakes, small stars, a pearl flower and a pink organza bow.

Merry Christmas

I made this 'Merry Christmas' hanger...

...I used thickened card, cut to size 21cm x 7.5cm, and covered it in a cream paper with a lilac pattern and pink foil design...

...and decorated it with hearts, buttons and bows...

...and a beautiful gold peel-off corner. I also used a couple of leaf-shaped sequin embellishments which look just like angel wings. The hanger is lilac wire, I wrapped a small section around a skewer to give a little twist.

Sweet Sixteen Daughter

A sweet 16 for my daughter's birthday...

I cut a 16 shape template and used vintage floral print paper in pale green and pink...
...and embellished the card with gingham ribbon bows, buttons and lovely hearts and flowers.

Chocolate box



Another box of chocolates, this time done with a lovely floral paper, cut with my favourite scissors for a nice edge.
I wrapped the paper around the box and secured with double sided tape, then did the same with a length of satin loop-edged ribbon.
The three bows are lace, paper and satin ribbon and the tag is backed with mulberry paper and decorated with a glittery heart card cutout.

Birthday Card and mini tag giftcard envelope

Here's a birthday card I made...
I used a lovely pink rose-print paper, which I tore around the edges
then aged with a copper inkpad...
I have used some of my favourite lilac paper roses to decorate,
wrapping the wire stem around a thin skewer for the twist,
along with a lilac paper ribbon bow and tiny pearl flower embellishments.
The hearts are card cutouts...
...and the giftcard envelope is done with the same paper and embellishments.
