Gift Card Holders

By Cards, Planner Stationary & Accessories

Hi All,

Welcome back! Today I wanted to share with you a fun little way I’ve been using to wrap gift cards. I’m the type person that likes to put a personal touch on each and every item I gift to another person and gift cards are no exception. Depending on the individual, I try to find a coordinating pattern (or create one) of gift wrap to suit his or her personality. The ones shown here are by Bella Lux. I am in love with the beautiful watercolor themes they create!

There are many tutorials online that feature origami folding and ways to create pockets for letters. Several of those are great ways to wrap a gift as well! There is no glue or paste involved in this project. It is simply a matter of cutting a sheet of 8.25″ square paper and folding it to create this pocket. To clean up the inside I just cut a sheet of craft paper to size to fit.

To close the holder I went with a simple white grosgrain ribbon which I tied into a bow and trimmed the edges.

How simple and fun are these?

Felt Heart Pins

By Cards, Planner Stationary & Accessories, Room Decor

Hey all,

There’s a part of me that just loves the calming feel of stitching. I wish I was far more advanced at it, but I guess I’m more on that “practice makes perfect” path. I recently had a few friends that have asked me if I could convert some of my plush felt stitched hearts into pins. What a great idea!

I decided to take things a step further by embroidering a little floral arrangement on the hearts as well.

Not only is this great little decor, but oh boy does they stand out with the pin trend that everyone seems to be on lately!

I used a 1.5″ gold bar pin on the backs and adhered them in place. I added some stitching to them just to reinsure they stay put.

These coral beauties measure about 3″ x 3″ and packed with cotton filling.

Fall Themed Stationary Sets

Hi all,

As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been working on some new items for the shop. These pieces of stationary I created are an update to an ‘older model’ I previously made. If you recall, those included a pen but didn’t have a closing flap to them. Also, the designs were more intricate and I wanted to go back to simple lines and less dimension in my patterns. I also thought a simple gold heart was a perfect embellishment to the patterns. On the basic black and white set, I added a large arrow embellishment for some contrast.

These pads measure just about 3.25″ x 3.25″.

Here’s a look at some the of the gorgeous fall patterns I selected for the stationary this season.
