Pastels for Spring

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

Hi, I’m Kate, and I have a confession to make: I love girly, light colours.

Since Easter is the only time of year where I almost totally get away with it, my first blog post is a celebration of pastels. We’re all yearning for spring these days – I propose we all meditate on these powdery hues to encourage the frost.

Warning: For those allergic to pink… Just think of them as “very light reds”.

Washi tape (decorative tape with limitless applications) will never let you down when you’re inspired by colour. We also carry a variety of twine and gift tags for when you feel the need to embellish.

Holiday Quick Crafts

Thursday, December 6th, 2012

Want to get crafty, but can’t find the time this busy December?  Here are 3 quick ideas you could try to fill that crafting void and make something great!

 

Instead of the standard evergreen wreath, try switching it up with a jumbo wooden snowflake for your door.  I used gold paint to glam up the plain wood, but why not try some washi tape or metallic pens to add a bit of detail.  Make it really spectacular with an origami bow made from glittery candyflake paper.

Wooden snowflake, washi tape and glitter paper can be found at The Paper Place.

 

Dress up your homemade (or store bought) goodies to give as a gift. Glass cookie jars and jam jars are easily made festive with cute holiday labels, manilla shipping tags and and a bit of raffia.  Just a little goes a long way to making it special!

Cute sticky gift tags, shipping tags and raffia in a variety of colours are available at The Paper Place.

 

So easy and fun, these ornaments look so good you will become addicted to making them!  Take pre-cut wooden shapes and cover them with washi tape, trim the over hanging tape around the edges and string them up with Divine Twine, perfect!  If you don’t like the trimming part try decorating them with rubber stamps.

All sorts of wooden shapes, washi tape, twine, rubber stamps and inkpads are of course, from The Paper Place!

D.I.Y. Last Minute Gift Tags

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

d.i.y. gift tags

These last minute d.i.y. gift tags are simple and easy to make. They add a personal touch to all your presents.

——————————————–

The following materials are mostly optional – but working with a pair of detail scissors make cutting fine details easier and more precise. The rice paste glue stick is also great because it is very versatile and could be used on different textured papers as well as tissues.

I made my gift tags with:

plain tags
plain labels
a vintage picture book
sharp detail scissors
decorative scissors
yarn / ribbon
glitter / stickles
assorted decorative paper
rice paste glue stick / glue pen
miscellaneous craft items

For this gift tag, I used a glue pen to precisely adhere loose glitter on certain parts of the picture.
