I taught a spring themed workshop last month at and the bit I love to do is the arty prep of customising the kit everyone gets.

For this workshop I wanted to do some elegant leaves on the gift bags and so I did some colour tests on paper, and was left with a handful of A4 sheets.

Cue my womble ways of not wanting to waste the paper, so I used my paper punch to create gift tags that I then added names to to finish the bags.

It meant everyone got a unique bag & tag to take away, plus they got to try doing some leaves with a dagger brush as well to make their own set of tags to take home.

Dagger brushes can be a bit tricky to use but you can achieve beautiful ombré colour effects with them once you get the hang of it, so if you’d like a demo comment “tag” below and I’ll show you how 🎨

Hot foiling this star greeting card design isn’t a one-step process. ✨

This design takes three separate presses — each one aligned, adjusted, and packed by hand.

Printed onto handmade deckle edge paper, where nothing ever sits exactly the same twice; going for the “perfectly imperfect” vibe of each being delightfully different 😁

A slow process — but worth it when it all comes together.

This is exactly why I don’t like doing reels. Because I’m terrible at them 😂 I forget words because peri-m brain fog kicks in and well you can just see for yourself.

Congratulations if you get to the end, no one ever reads this bit anyway so in a nutshell I’m trying to show you what is the best ink to use on a porous wood surface but it all goes a bit all over the place as I can’t remember the name for the damned sticks.

Enjoy, and also enjoy the highly grown up buffalo plaster I’m sporting. Gardening injury. Oh the irony.

Oh and the captions are missing at the end. I don’t know how I did that. I really miss the days of posting a photo and that was all that needed doing.
