One of the newest products to my etsy store this week is this black and white wedding candy buffet free standing sign.

It’s made from heavy white cardstock and then die cut by me. It is assembled so that it will stand on it’s own. It can be customised with your names and wedding date if required.

Then all you have to do is sit it on your candy buffet or dessert table! It’s so stylish! Wording can be changed to anything you like and and colours can be changed to match your wedding theme.

I have some really gorgeous matching labels to go with this sign that I will share with you once I have them uploaded to the store.

I came across this delightful candy buffet on Rock N Roll Bride today.  Thought I’d share it with you. Love the colours in this. It was for a wedding but would be very suitable for baby showers or children’s Birthdays.

Love it!

I was a little busy over the Christmas so didn’t get a chance to post about these adorable custom Christmas pudding tags made for The Little Cake Company.

They had made some absolutely gorgeous chocolate bicuit Christmas puddings. A great alternative for those who don’t like the normal fruit based puddings.

These custom tags are perfect for businesses to add to their handmade products as I can customize the text and graphic for you.

Each tag is designed and then die-cut to give the nice tag shape. They are then hand inked around the edges to give a vintage look.

Valentine’s day is not too far away. I designed this cheerful heart-shaped gift tag with love birds especially for those looking for a cute gift tag design. It’s a really cute way of asking that loved one to ‘Be my Valentine’

The polka dot tag is heart-shaped with a scalloped edge. The edges are hand inked to give a vintage effect. The two little lovebirds sit on an inner heart, which is raised slightly from the bigger heart back. They are sharing a little kiss with floating hearts! awww!  The back of the tag is left blank for your message. The tag is finished with a hot pink ribbon.

Well I’ve finally made my foray into selling some of my handmade items  on etsy.com. Yay me! It’s a little bit daunting being a new Etsy seller, there is sooooo much to learn. But luckily the guys over at Etsy have a great forum and very helpful articles about how to run my store.  I am only starting to stock it with items in the last few weeks. So I’ll be all out busy designing and making new products for the month of January and February to fill my new store!

I will mainly be focusing on candy bar & dessert table signage and wedding stationery for now. Do drop by!

One of the recent additions is this purple and cream textured jar label. Great for weddings and party candy bars, buffets and dessert tables. Text can be customised to whatever you need! Click on the image to go to the store.

How is everyones Christmas shopping going? Only 3 weeks to go and as always I haven’t bought a single present as yet. But I have had time to design  a few Christmas gift tag stickers for your Christmas presents this year!

This first round gift tag sticker label shows a jolly snowman against a winter blue snowflake sky in a red hat, red mittens and a green tartan scarf. He’s peeking over a ‘No Peeking until Dec 25th. This is a great little design for kids and you can customize with their names. This is especially helpful if you have chosen a unique name for your child and usually find it hard to get products with their names on.

No Peeking until Dec 25th Snowman Gift tag Sticker

This ‘Merry Christmas’ Square gift tag is in a winter blue and Christmas red. It shows a Whimsical Christmas tree with hanging baubles, candy canes, miniature Santa Claus and miniature snowmen with several wrapped Christmas gifts beneath it. A snowman in a red hat and red scarf sits on a snowy hill with 2 trees. The sky has the phrase ‘Merry Christmas’ in a red Christmas font and snowflakes!  add your family or business name in the ‘From’ line and then handwrite the Gift recipient on the ‘To’: line

I don’t know about you but I really love Christmas and the Holidays. It brings to mind my childhood with snow on the ground and me infront of a roaring firing opening gifts under the tree. My family would watch Christmas movies and drink hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream. Nom Nom.

My Christmas product that I just can’t leave without now that I have grown up (some would argue this point ) and had my own children are custom Christmas mugs. I think they are genuinely a great gift for adults and kids alike. Children love to have their own stuff and especially if you chose a unique name for your child, it can be hard to get gifts with their names on. So in the post I’ve decided to share with you some of my favorites. Here you’ll find lots of Christmas mugs for you to look at and gift to family and friends. Great to bring to the office with you to add that extra bit of Christmas cheer to your day this holiday season!

They are great for filling up with hot chocolate and marshmallows, coffee or beverage of your choice on Christmas morning while the kids unwrap their gifts from Santa.
