In the past I've received quite a few requests for home made jam labels. I finally thought it was about time I took on the challenge!
Home made jam makes a great gift with a personal touch. It also works well as a party or wedding favour, especially for an event with a bit of a 'crafty' vibe. Part of the fun of creating the presentation of your jam jar is searching for interesting fabrics and ribbon! To facilitate this, I deliberately kept the design of the labels quite simple, allowing for more freedom and variety in your decorating choices.

Inspired by Jordan Ferney's brilliant wedding concept for an Old Fashioned Soda Bar, I set out to create these fun, retro-inspired label designs for soda bottles that hark back to the glorious era of soda fountains! These can be used for your party or wedding to create your own Soda Shop or to add a gorgeous beverage stand to your Ice-Cream Parlour theme. Guests can select from a brightly coloured array of flavoured sodas to make their own delicious Ice-Cream Sodas!


I am lactose intolerant. This probably explains my unhealthy obsession with ice-cream.
My favourite dessert is nothing fancier or more sophisticated than a
simple Ice-cream Sundae. Nothing satisfies my sweet palate more than
vanilla ice-cream with hot fudge sauce, whipped cream, crushed nuts,
caramelised banana, wafer biscuit and the all-important cherry on top!
Despite
evidence to the contrary (what is with this crazy Melbourne weather?!),
warmer months are just around the corner down here in Oz and I've got
ice-cream on the brain! So I came up with a design concept for an
old-fashioned Ice-cream Parlour "Make your own Sundaes" buffet with all
the accoutrements. Read on for more pics, ideas and freebies to help
you with your own ice-cream parlour buffet for your party, kids party
or even wedding.

Over at the Wedding Styleguide blog, Emma Henderson reminisces about a gorgeous photoshoot from their first issue that also includes some very beautiful wedding freebies for download. I love their use of colours and floral patterns!

Available in various soft hues and flavours including Rose, Pistachio, and Vanilla, Pashmak resembles soft wisps of hair and looks really fab inside these transluscent paper envelopes.

A week ago I splurged on this stunning book - The Handy Book of Artistic Printing.
After flipping through the pages I was left feeling incredibly
inspired! The book shows examples of a highly decorative style of
letterpress from the late 1800's- Rich, ornamental typography and
graphics utilising gorgeous colour schemes and referencing motifs from
different eras and cultures. To put my inspiration to good use and also
feed my current penchant for vintage style labels (see my articles on DIY Herb Bottles and DIY Apothecary bottles.
Yes, it's an obsession), I decided to try my hand at this style by
creating Oil and Vinegar and wooden box labels for you to download and
use. Read on for more pics and to download your freebies!

Much fun was had designing these cute mini packages in the style of
airmail envelopes! Fill with birdseed and they can be distributed to
