Heart coin tags

Since I've been working with felt a lot lately, I had to figure something out for these small, tiny pieces of scrap felt that can't be used. I usually throw them away but I've been in a "waste not" mood lately so I decided to try and use them. And so I made these small heart coin tags, they are filled with these little felt scraps that I cut into even smaller pieces and they work just as well as polyfill stuffing. Tiny cuteness right?

I'm also hoping to make an advent calendar for our nephew these days, there is lots of inspiration to be found online and it is quite difficult to decide on something, I feel a bit bombarded by all these great ideas :-)
Wishing you a great day,

Flower Tags

Can you tell I'm really missing spring and its flowers? I made these gift tags from thick backing board, I started by cutting two different sized circles. Then painted their back side and stamped it but you could just write a little message, that would be pretty cute too! From the graphics fairy I used two flower prints (1 - 2), I actually fitted four flower graphics in one page then just used two of them. I glued the circles in random places of the flower prints, on the unpainted side of the cardboard then cut of the excess. Punched a hole with the cropadile thingy, tied the pink/red thread and they are perfect for my little gift bags.

Now I have two remaining flower prints, I'm thinking of making something with them too, just haven't decided what that will be yet :-)

Love notes

A pretty easy tutorial on making little love notes perfect for Valentine's day. I used small scraps of heavy paper about 7x3.5 cm, a heart stencil, colorful markers and pencils. Making the heart stencil is quite simple: you just draw a heart shape on a piece of paper and then cut it carefully using a cutting tool, make sure that the paper you use is thick so it won't get torn while you draw. Place your stencil on top of the paper scrap and using a pencil or a fine tip marker start drawing from one side of the heart to the other. Do the same from the other side so that the lines crisscross. You can just draw vertical lines, or even try horizontal and vertical together. Fold in half, write a little love message inside, punch a hole, tie a pretty string and you're done!
