Purple Greetings Cards - Red & White Bakers Twine

Now in at Purple Greetings Cards, hard to find Red & White Bakers Twine for all your card making, craft & wrapping needs!

This fab red & white bakers twine is of a fantastic quality and is very thick and strong which makes it just perfect for craft making and eco-friendly gift wrapping.

Just beautiful to wrap those special christmas gifts, be it for customers, friends or family... giving them a wonderful vintage look. It comes with free p&p too!

mibostudio - christmas creatures

... mibostudio (the place to go for print-and-make-at-home projects) is one of my favourite websites, I rushed to it the minute my newsletter arrived in my inbox!

Having lovingly created PIP and his friends (PIP's sat on my printer looking at me while I type!) a few months ago, I was delighted to see the arrival of the Christmas Creatures and the 2010 calendar also.

The PDF instruction sheets and templates are carefully and precisely put together, which I love.

I'm not sure which one of the little creatures will capture my heart the most, think I will find that out upon creating it! I will let you know... please let me know yours!

moo - mini cards

I must admit I'm a bit of a fan of moo cards, especially their mini cards which they have just launched some brand new features for.

The updates include new layouts, fonts & colours for the back of your cards. A full image upload for the back of your cards. A new and improved preview, bulk discounts and even cute new recyclable paper boxes.
