... and a Card Box Tutorial

We are lucky enough to be able to share another great guest post. We love how Jenny from Jennysis Crafts describes herself as a 'craftaholic'! She definitely puts that to good use with this tutorial on how to make a card box! 

Hi crafty people! I’m Jenny and just love to craft, I make all sorts and run a range of workshops so I can share my passion. I started blogging free tutorials and ideas recently at Jennysis Crafts and I want to encourage everyone to craft, no matter their experience. I run all sorts of workshops and teach all abilities and really wanted to offer these tutorials for anyone to reference. I stock all the materials I use in my shop so if you particularly like the papers or tools I use then you can buy them all in one place. Well enough about me, let’s get on with the crafting!

... and a Fused Plastic Bag Pencil Case

I always try to use my Bag-for-Life, but despite my best efforts I always seem to accumulate lots of plastic bags, so fusing them to make something new seemed like a good idea!! I found  this great tutorial by A Fanciful Twist  and tried it out for myself to make a Pencil Case!

... and Gift Bag Transformations!

We were delighted to be asked recently by Carrier Bag Shop to review and transform some of their gift paper bags by adding our own crafty twist to them*! With all the gifts we've been making, and because we are hoping to enter the scary world of selling our items soon, we thought it would be a great opportunity to try a variety of styles of packaging them...
