I love this Christmas Mug. It is hexagonal in shape and very easy to make. It makes great gift packaging for some chocolates or biscuits. You can personalise it with the recipient’s name.

I always struggled to make a perfect hexagon-shaped box or bag. Inspiration struck, and I went online to find some hexagon templates. This means that I always have the perfect hexagon shape on the base of my creations. Everything then just falls into place. Here are the templates I use.

The paper used here is Zoo Crew. On one side it has lots of little critters but on the other side of the paper are all these fabulous black and white designs. They are perfect for card backgrounds.

I’ve used the countryside corners dies to create this fun tuck spot with a little tag for a secret message.

This is a very simple design. I’ve cut out 3 tags using the Celebration Tag Dies and Tailored Tag Dies. They are layered up so the holes on the tag match but at different angles. An easy design but very effective.

This was a project we made in a recent card club. I host a monthly card line online in my Facebook Group. We gather together virtually once a month to have lots of crafty fun.

This card has a cute pocket on the front of the card to hold a tag or gift card. It’s therefore practical and decoration all in one. The cardbase and designer series paper (DSP) are both freebies I got from the current Sale-a-bration. You can get them free with every purchase over £45.00. Click here to see the current catalogues.

I’ve made this bag a number of times. It is a great one to make as requires no cutting and minimal scoring. You can make them in a great number easily in many sizes. They store flat until you want to use them and string the ribbon through them. What more could you want from a gift bag?

The tag is hand stamped using the Merriest Moments stamp set. You can see me make a similar oversize tag on the previous blog post.

I’ve made this style of card a number of times now. I just love the idea of the place for a hidden tag or gift card. The paper I used this time is the Sweet Stocking Designer Series Paper (DSP). It’s so cute that I didn’t want to cover it up with too many embellishments. I really wanted to let this paper sing good and loud.

This is a reworking of a card we made recently in card club. I love this hidden pocket feature that can hold a tag or a gift card. It is so much fun and you still have all the space inside the card to write a special message. The Peaceful Prints designer series paper (DSP) is a Christmas collection. This green print though can be used any time of the year. It’s just a simple muted design. So great!!
