Paper Punch Fun

Hi peeps,

Yesterday, I set out to post a few parcels that are (unfortunately) long overdue to be sent.  I wanted to make my own cards to go with these parcels and presents so I got out all my paper punches and paper and got rather distracted creating.  This is what I got up to.

This one was my favourite of the day, spots and stripes together.  So happy. 

 

Now, I really better get these parcels in the post.

Have a great evening.

My (new love affair) Creative Space

Hi peeps,

Yes, I am having a new love affair.  Please do not tell my sewing machine.  She could well be jealous.

My new love is paper punching.  There is a fantastic Paper Craft shop here in Hong Kong (thank you to Emily for telling me about this shop!)  I have been able to slowly build up my collection of different punches.  My newest one is this large Monarch Butterfly punch (it is 4.5cm across the widest -top- part of the wing span)

 

Last week, I sewed some together to make 3D butterfly garlands for the birthday party.

This week, I have been sewing them onto card (my sewing machine is no longer jealous)

Sewing two together means you get this 3D effect.  I am loving this look.

What are you making this week?  There's a lot of creating going on over here at My Creative Spaces, do go and have a look, it is so inspiring.

Cheers.  Cat.

My (party planning) Creative Space.

Hi peeps,

This week has been all about party planning!  My big girl Abbey turned 6 at the end of last month, this weekend we are holding a joint birthday party with her best friend from kinder who celebrates her birthday in a few days time.

I need to finish the Unicorn Dress, this will be her party dress.  I started it last week, but got rather distracted with all these other party creations.

I have made fabric goodie bags, for boys and girls.

 

3D paper butterfly garlands to be used as party decorations (idea from these gorgeous rainbow cloud garlands)

 

Little sewn note books to go in the goodie bags (they are around 7cm square)

Little Thank you cards to go in the goodie bags.  In English and Mandarin, we do live in China after-all!

I have been having lots of fun making hair bobbles to go in the girl goodie bags.

Tomorrow I need to make lots of pink tissue paper pom poms, to be used as decorations.

What are you making this week?  Happy Creative Day to you.

Cat.

Gift taggy fun.

Hi again,

Two posts in one day, insane stuff (for me).

These are some of my finished Christmas present gift tags, which I started a few weeks ago.

They are not half as nice as Emily's, hers are absolutely gorgeous, do have a look.  I have gift tag envy, that's for sure.  

My hand made Christmas is slowly coming together. 

Have a great evening.

Cat.
