Hello friends!!!

As we have now sent all our wedding invites, I thought I'd share the photos i took during the process.

And here's a nutshell summary of the process:
Envelopes:
- double sided 12x12 cardstock cut in half
- scored to have edges folded in
- edge punch joining edges
- complimenting ribbon with dab of glue on back

Invites:
- play until happy with wording, fonts, formatting, colour and print on cream paper
- rough edge ruler to tear out all wording sheets
- emboss each sheet
- run distress ink pads over rough edges
- guillotine green cardstock larger than printer pages
- edge punch green cardstock
- stick sheets to cardstock
- pop in envelope
- tie ribbon

It took ages, and I had help from Paul, Amy and Georgia.

You'll see the punch pattern isn't beautifully even on corners, i am happy it isn't perfect, they are homemade, and they are each individually made.

More importantly, they are unique! There is nothing like them anywhere... and what bride doesn't want unique 🥰

Anyway, if you want any more info on how to make or supplies i use, do message me.

SO... Next time I write in here i will be Mrs Camilleri 💖

Teddy bye for now!

Just wanted to say hello to you all, and let you know ill start posting regularly from October!!!

If you know me, then you'll know i am currently crafting for our wedding and obviously can't post anything im working on, or have finished, until after our wedding.

In meantime, here was another evening with friends. Great fun again, but i can categorically confirm I need a LOT more practice if im hoping to achieve a good finish 🤣

Pillar candles, napkins, baking paper, heat gun.

Please read and provide two 1 word answers. (Or more indepth if you prefer 😊)

I have had one of those (possibly) crazy, just woken up ideas.

Id need to look into things like insurances, but...

I wonder if I could offer 2 hour craft sessions for up to 4 people at my dining room table, give people the chance to dabble in some of the crafts I do, and give them a chance to discover a love for themselves.

My head thinks £15 per person to explore a craft i know about, tea/coffe/squash and their take home pieces.

Is this a good idea?
Is £15 pp reasonable?

Please comment.

Thank you 😊

Hey 👋

I have been involved with a bit of non wedding crafting, so is something i can share here!

Had a girls night round a friend's, and clay hearts were made, and previously made hearts decorated with waxes, paints (though i took oil paints instead of acrylics... doh!) And mica powder.

Tray showing the premade hearts which i had made and left to dry out ready for painting.

It has to be said... trying nd creating new things is great for cheering a person up... including my friends.

It was lovely watching how engrossed they became in their crafting, and how pleased they were with the results.
