Always Tea Time EmbellishBox for February

EmbellishBox for papercutters {February box}

Posted on March 11, 2017December 8, 2017 by jenny

Last moth the February EmbellishBox for papercutters popped through my letterbox. I really like the box so took out a monthly subscription! Now I never have to worry about forgetting to order a box. The February box had a theme – Always Tea Time. Inside were 3 x tea-time templates and an Always Tea Time House…

Layered swan papercut for Valentine's Day

Layered swan papercut for Valentine’s Day

Posted on January 31, 2017September 15, 2023 by jenny

I wasn’t very impressed with the art of macrame from the latest issue of Mollie Makes but I quickly fell in love with the layered swan papercut from the same issue. I love paper cutting and have been working my way through Cut It Out! book and my monthly Embellish Box. Issue 75 of Mollie…

Pinty Plus Chalk Paint Spray in Red Velvet

Handmade Valentine paper cut art

Posted on January 25, 2017September 18, 2021 by jenny

I’m currently working with Pinty Plus Chalk Spray which means every month I try and share a new craft I’ve been working on using one of their products. This month I had the idea of updating my daughter’s vintage Lloyd loom wash basket. I’m not quite happy with my colour choice so I’ll be posting that little…

January EmbellishBox for papercutters

Posted on January 24, 2017December 8, 2017 by jenny

As much as I love subscription boxes there is one thing I don’t like – that is waiting for them to arrive! Sign ups often open at the beginning of the month but they are not sent out to the end. It’s not that I don’t have plenty of templates to work on but I…

EmbellishBox - monthly templates for paper cutting

EmbellishBox monthly templates for paper cutting {subscription box}

Posted on January 4, 2017October 19, 2020 by jenny

Last year I really embraced paper cutting. I love paper cutting. It requires few materials and seems to take up less room than my sewing stuff. It’s also easier to put down and pick up again which is why I have a folder full of paper cuts! Having worked my way through Cut It Out!…

Gift guide for Papercutters

Gift guide for Papercutters

Posted on December 11, 2016October 19, 2020 by jenny

I’ve mentioned a few times now that I’m completely fallen under the spell of paper cutting as a brilliant craft. I was first introduced to it a few years ago when I attended a workshop run by Poppy Chancellor. I booked myself on another paper cutting class with Poppy Chancellor at The Handmade Fair in…

Jenny Makes Mollie Makes Papercut Book

Posted on February 7, 2016December 8, 2017 by jenny

Every month I challenge myself to make the Mollie Makes magazine cover gift. I’ve subscribed since it first came out and have a drawer full of unopened kits – but no more. I’ve been making more time for crafting and I love to try something new with each of the cover gifts. Mollie Makes Papercut…
