Shop update – What’s new?

I recently had an enquiry in my shop about party printables from someone who said they used water bottle labels and welcome signs, so I thought I would start adding these to my shop.  The first theme to have these new products is ‘Ball Games’ – both the bottle labels and sign are available in a choice of two colour schemes (orange and green or blue and red).

The welcome signs come ready personalised with a message of the customer’s choice.  As well as the Ball Games welcome sign I have also designed one to match with my Rule Britannia party set.

I have also started added printable cupcake wrappers to my shop – so far I have added a Strawberry themed set and a Rule Britannia themed set.

The cupcake wrappers are simple to make - just print, cut out and wrap around your cupcakes, securing the ends with double sided tape.  Each listing is for 4 wrappers - 2 with scalloped tops and 2 with plain tops (which you could cut with ordinary scissors or fancy edged scissors).

The last two new items which I am sharing today are these woodland themed printables…

There is a set of cute woodland printable labels featuring owls, deer, toadstools and more – which can be used as gift tags, in cardmaking or scrapbooking.  I have also designed a set of woodland themed printable journal cards.  The sheet contains 6 designs – 4 different 3x4 inch cards, a 4x6 inch card and a 4x1.6 inch card.  I used one of these in my recent scrapbook page layout.

I can easily make these products for the other themes in my shop too – so if you’re looking for something you can’t find in my shop please let me know.  I’d also love to hear from you if you have any suggestions for new printable products / themes you would like to see in my shop!

3 Makes With… Printable Straw Flags

Today I wanted to share 3 simple projects using just one sheet of printables and a few basic craft materials.  For these projects I’m using a sheet of straw flags with an orange / green Ball Games theme, but you could use flags on any theme you like.  The sheet has 18 flags (2 of each design) and prints on 8.5 x 11 inch or A4 paper.  I printed mine on 240gsm card, you can experiment with different papers / cards depending on what you want to use them for.  For best results remember to use your printer’s highest quality setting!

1. Make a Birthday Card

This is a super easy card – great for boy’s birthdays or change the message for other occasions!  Cut out 5 different flags – 4 patterned and one with space for a message. Trim the pointed end of the one for the message but the others can be left square.  Glue the 4 patterned flags across the card at different angles (making sure the white ends will hang off the edge).  Using the edge of the card as a guide trim the excess off of the flags.  Write your message on the final flag.  Lay onto the card and mark in pencil where to cut the left side.  Trim and stick to the card with foam pads.

2. Make a Gift Tag

Cut 2 flags.  Trim one end from each flag square, making one flag slightly longer than the other.  Punch a hole in each flag.  On the smaller flag write ‘To…’ and on the larger flag write ‘From…’.  Finally tie the two together with some ribbon or thread.

3. Make cupcake toppers and decorate straws

These are great for themed parties!  Simply cut the flags then fold and glue around a straw to jazz up a drink or around a cocktail stick to make a cupcake topper.  The flags with space for messages can be personalised – write names on for individual drinks or cakes.

Ball Games party

This new printable party set has a ball games theme - great for sports themed birthday parties!  The set comes in two colour schemes - either green and orange or blue and red and features a range of sports balls from football and basketball to tennis and cricket.

The party set includes an invitation, cupcake toppers, tent cards, name place cards, straw flags and a birthday bunting banner.  The invitations, cupcake toppers and tent cards come personalised too with your own choice of wording.

New printables

I seem to have a lot of half finished things on the go at the moment.  The last two weeks have been quite busy so it's been really nice to have a whole day in my studio today and I've actually managed to get something finished!

This set of scrapbooking papers is newly completed today...

I was enjoying playing around with the colours and patterns in this set so much that I ended up making way to many papers and it was hard to cut them down to just 8 designs!  I think the geometic and chevron patterns in airforce blue / grey and mustard would be good for men's cards.

I also finished off this 'Rule Britannia' themed printable party set by adding new invitation, name place card and straw flag designs to the existing Rule Britannia printables which were already in my shop...

London Party!

I was just going to use my new London themed illustrations for scrapbooking paper and a collage sheet but thought they'd make a nice, unusual party set too - what do you think?
They'll be available to buy from my Etsy shop either as a full collection (invitation, cupcake toppers, bunting, name place cards, tent cards and straw flags) or individually...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doing the photo shoot for my Rule Britannia set was fun before so I think I'll have a go at a photo shoot for this one too - I might have to hold a un-birthday party so I can try them all out! :)

New Pastel Button printables

I have two new Pastel Button themed printables to show you today...

Experiment with your fancy handwriting to personalise these cards for parties!  I used a brush tipped pen for the card above.  There are 8 different designs in this set of name place cards...

 Also new is this set of personalised cupcake toppers (great for using as tags and labels too)...

The set can be personalised for birthdays (like above with name, age and Happy Birthday) or for weddings (with the name / initials of the bride and groom and date of the wedding).  Each sheet of toppers has 4 different designs and is available in a green, teal or cream colour sheme.

I still have more new pastel button themed designs to share in the next few days - and a tutorial too!

A Fishy Party!

I have 3 more fish themed printables to share with you today...
These invitations are part of my new party range...

They are available in 2 sizes (5x7 inch or 3.9 x 5.1 inches) and come blank for you to fill in the party details.  I am also offering the option of customised invitations so all you need to do is print them.

What party would be complete without some bunting?  This printable bunting comes as 5 sheets for an easy to make 'Happy Birthday' banner...

And my last printable for today is this sheet of flags - simply print, cut out the strips and wrap round straws to jazz up a drink or wrap around cocktail sticks to decorate cakes...

All of the party printables are available to buy individually from my Etsy shop - so you can mix and match the items you would like.  Or if you like them all, I will also be offering a party set with customised invitations, cupcake toppers, tent cards, name place cards, straw flags and bunting which will save you money compared to buying them all individually. :)
