Lil Bee Handmade Gifts

If you are gifting money this Christmas, instead of putting in the card, put it in one of these unique, handmade rosette wallets.
With space on the back to write your message, these will make gifting money a little more exciting. Note, due to the size of the rosette, these will not go in the post as regular letter size and are best if hand delivering.

£1.50 each.

I also have a flat design without rosette which is just £1.

Christmas cards with pop-up mini gift bags for gift cards! A more unique, fun way to give a gift card.

£2.50 each or 4 for £8.

Handmade cards, inked and stamped myself. Eye catching designs of various animals looking up at the Star of Bethlehem embossed in a twinkling silver.

These are fairly small cards at 4" x 4", so easy to post out.

Due to the handmade nature, each card is different.

Pack of 3 for £1.50.

Watercolour and doodle style cards, handdrawn and painted, 4" x 4" cards. Finished with touches of sparkle.

Packs of 4 in a variety of designs.

Due to the handpainted nature, there will be slight variations between designs.

£3 per pack.

Handmade, large luxury cards!

Lots of dimension and sparkles, sure to make an impression on the lucky receiver 😍.

These are beatiful, statement cards and would need posting as large letter due to the depth. Of course, this won't be a concern if you deliver by hand.

Usually £7 including a decorated presentation box, but reduced to £6 for the next week.

The last of these cards...

Plantable pencils - an ideal stocking filler or teacher's gift.

Once the pencil is finished with, pop off the cap and plant the herb seeds contained inside.

Full instructions included on the presentation sleeve, which has been made from kraft card and handstamped,then finished with a sweet little bee embellishment.

£2.75

Plantable Christmas gift tags!

If you are environmentally conscious, use plantable, seeded gift tags!

These tags are impregnated with bee friendly wild flower seeds. Plant them in pots and put outside in spring to help the dwindling bee population.

I have small tags in packs of 10 and larger, folded tags in packs of 5.

Pack of 10 small tags, £3.
Pack of 8 large tags £4.
Pack of 5 large tags £2.50

I still have some plantable Christmas cards left!

Contact me to reserve yours - a card and gift in one, as the recipient can plant the card rather than throw it away, so helping the environment and the dwindling bee population🐝

Pack of 8 for £6
Pack of 5 for £4
Pack of 3 for £2.50

Assorted designs.

These are the last 3 wreaths I have left this year! Message me if interested 🎄.

Hi everyone 👋

It's almost December when festivities really start ramping up, usually starting with giving cards.

Some of you may have started buying cards, but if you haven't, how about getting something unique and personalised this year?

I have various designs most of which can be personalised. Just ask and I'll see what I can do,but take a look at the photos to see examples of what I have to offer. All are handmade/designed by me.

"Never too grown up..." card is A5 size, using quality textured card base. The background has been inked and blended by hand. As this has been produced by hand, no two cards will be the same - that's the beauty of handmade - the shade of the ink will be slightly different for each one. I then stamp the image of the reindeer and sleigh by hand to finish off. Can be personalised to any name/relation.

The card with the heeled shoe hanging from the tree bough is digitally produced, then embellished with little gems on the shoe to give it some sparkle. This is also A5 size and can be personalised to any name/relation.

All other adult cards are 6" x 6" and use luxury glitter card, a diamante heart buckle and complementary ribbon wrap around. These can be personalised to any name/relation.

All the above cards are £3 each or I have a multi buy offer of £10 for 4 cards.

I also have Christmas countdown cards for children available in four different designs. These make cards a bit more fun for kids as they can turn the pointer around each day to countdown to the big day! However, you'll need to be quick to order these to have it in time for 1st December so contact me ASAP if you wish to order one of these. £2.50 each or 2 for £4.

Please browse through the photos, although they really don't do justice as they look so elegant in real life!

🎄🎅🎄

A couple of orders ready to go out to their owners... A set of six baubles and greetings cards for son and daughter.

Contact me for your personalised baubles and cards😍

These wreaths all sold at the craft fair but there is still time to order yours. Contact me to order. (I'm particularly fond of the Christmas tradition - the Brussel sprout - in the form of a woolly pompom wreath 😂).

Good morning everyone and a Happy Monday to you all.

Just a quick update from me...

I have been a little absent from here as I have been frantically preparing for my first ever craft fayre which was held yesterday at the lovely Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone. I had an amazing time, got to meet lots of people, received so many compliments on my pompom wreaths and had a fantastic response to my seeded card range. I even had some sell outs with the gift tags!! The whole experience was a huge confidence boost and spurred me on to carry on crafting!

I am making this post today as I had so many people pop by my stall and many of them took my business card. I just want to say a big hello and welcome to those of you who are checking in to see what I do. I hope you find something here to interest you. If you are looking for something personalised, please do contact me and I will see what I can do. I am still in the early stages of this business so I will be adding to my range as I go. I would love it if you liked my page and followed me to keep up-to-date with my little venture!

I really do appreciate the support that I get from my followers and customers. I am still a very small fish in a huge ocean so I would love to grow my slice that little bit bigger. Who knows, one day this could become my "proper job" with the support of my lovely followers.

You may have also noticed the weblink in my details section. I am so happy to say that I have been accepted onto the fairly new "Beautifully Handmade" website. It is a UK version of another well-known handmade market with a cap on the number of sellers. I am yet to get this fully set up (been a little preoccupied by a craft fayre) but I hope to have this open as soon as possible once I have figured out how it all works, taken photos of my products and uploaded them. In the meantime please continue to contact me through Facebook if you wish to order anything - I now take card payments too so if you are local and want to collect your order I have a card reader if you prefer that method of payment.

That turned into a slightly longer post than I planned, so well done if you read to the end. I will leave you now to get on with your day and leave you with this photo from yesterday's event. Enjoy!

A sneak peak of some Christmas cards I've been working on 🎄😍

🎄❄️Send your loved ones a handmade card this Christmas ❄️🎄

My first batch of handmade Christmas card designs. Made using quality glitter or pearlised card, they catch the light beautifully and stand out from your average bulk-buy cards, ideal for special family and friends.

I will be selling these either individually or in multi-packs. More glitter colours available, please contact me to find out what I have in stock.

Today's offering is something a bit different....

My snowman pom pom wreath will put a smile on your face and bring some Christmas cheer into your home🎄⛄.

This jolly wreath measures approximately 40cm diameter (16 inches) and is made with 22 pompoms, all handmade by me and they are all very full, thick pompoms. All 11 snowmen have been finished with a hand crocheted scarf.

I can make the scarves to match your colour theme so if you love the wreath (and who wouldn't love these cheery little guys?) but aren't so mad on the rainbow theme just tell me what colours you'd like and I can dress them to coordinate with your home decor!

The cost of this wreath is £35 - a bargain considering the number of hours of my time to make sure every pompom is perfectly round and the amount of yarn used to make them.

So, contact me if you wish to order - these can take me a number of days to make. Get these little guys into your home in time for Christmas 🎄.

Glitter baubles - now taking orders!

Now Christmas is fast approaching, I have started making ornaments again.

First up, I have these glitter baubles - customised to your requirements, I have several designs as can be seen in the photo. However, if you have something in mind that isn't shown please do get in touch and I will see what I can do.

The glitter used in these baubles is so sparkly, they catch the light beautifully and will be a lovely gift for loved ones - including pets!

Prices vary from £4 - £8. Contact me to get your orders in. It's definitely not too early!

First order of my new seeded gift tag range ready for my customer.

If you would like to order these cute gift tags please get in touch.

I decided to make something for myself yesterday - I do love happy, sunny colours ☀️🌻

Morning everyone.

I am excited to let you all know about a new range of products that I'm going to be working on which offer the more eco-conscious shopper something a bit different.

Over the next couple of months I will be introducing greetings cards that will be made from seeded card and plantable. I love the idea that, instead of adding to waste, your cards will grow into wild flowers that help our dwindling bee population🐝💐. It also makes that card a little bit more special for the recipient.

I am starting off my seeded stationery range with these gift tags/favour cards. They are small enough to add to gift boxes or to a regular card, use as party or wedding favours or even as place card settings for weddings. If you want to use them as gift tags I can provide them with the hole ready punched. I can add the illustration of the bee on them for no extra charge.

If you are a small business wanting to use them to put in your customer's order as a thank you, I can print your logo onto them - just contact me to discuss and for prices.

I am currently offering these in packs of 8 or 10. Prices start at £2 for a pack of 8 for the 2" wide hexagon or heart.

These make lovely, unique add-ons for party bags or even wedding favours. Comment below or message me to order 🐝.
