Fruity note cards // Triangular envelopes

By Kate on April 10, 2014

Hello! I made some fruit gift boxes and bunting ages ago and thought the design could be transferred to these note cards. The note cards are pretty cool and fold up in the same way the heart notes do.

Hello all! Please excuse the tumbleweeds that have been blowing through this blog lately. Life keeps getting in the way!

It’s the Easter holidays in the UK and like most parents I’m scratching around trying to find something for my kids to do. If you need some inpiration then have a look at Made by Joel. It’s jam packed full of ideas.

Check out this beautifully simple Branch Trees playset.

Print out this Paper City (Paris edition). Perfect for those kids who love to cut and colour. You can see more of Paper City posts here.

Good at sewing? You could make this DIY doll diaper with fabric poo!

Get your woodwork on and made a Small catapult toy.

Addicted yet? If so you can see more in Joel’s book, Made to Play.

Have a wonderful Easter everyone.

Kate ^_^

Hello! Last year I made some ‘origami bunny’ chocolate bar wrappers and I thought the bunny would look nice on these treat boxes. The design is really minimal and suitable for kids and grown-ups.

The sun has finally started shining in the UK after a long, wet winter. I’m already in the mood for summer and have been working on some geometric icosahedron ice creams! Can’t wait to show you them in a week or so. Until then, happy crafting!

I‘ve just stumbled across Filiz Sahin’s website and found lots of really lovely free fonts to download. They are only available as .eps, .ai and .ps files so you will need Illustrator or Photoshop in order to use them. Hopefully they will be available as .ttf files soon!

My favorite is this hand painted font called Mink Type. You can download here. Thanks Filiz!
