Mintay Holly Jolly Tea and Biscuits Gift Box

If you're looking for a fab gift idea for a Secret Santa, Teacher's Gift, or gesture for a neighbour, then this little Tea and Biscuits Box might be perfect! I used Mintay's Holly Jolly range and added a flavoured tea bag, honey sachet and pack of Shortbread, but you could pop in any treats you can think of. Decorating it with fussy or die cut elements makes this a really lovely project.

All the information is in my YouTube video


Hope you enjoy it!

Prima 25 and Peppermint Christmas Treat Pouches

Hi Everyone!

Today I thought I would share this fun little project where you can use any paper collection and embellishments to create a really lovely little Christmas gift. I used Prima's 25 and Peppermint collection and filled my little pouches with a chocolate bar, crispy rolls, a hot chocolate sachet and a small decorative spoon. I then tucked in a little gift tag and you could even add a gift card.

I have created an easy tutorial on my YouTube channel


Hope you enjoy it! I was inspired by @stampingwithnellie - check out her channel too for inspiration.

Mintay Umbrella Cards

 Hi Everyone!

Last weekend was World Card Making Day. On the Mintay Papers blog, they held a challenge to make your own shaped card, so I sketched out an umbrella and this is the result. I thought I would share how I created it, and my tips for how to decorate/cover a handmade or shop bought, shaped card. Hope you like them - I used Mintay's Blossom Serenity and Lilac Farm to decorate them.
