This year starts pretty awesome! I had my third order! So I decided to start producing a lot of whales, that I am not always sold out. And it’s less time consuming than carving each whale separately.

Pesto label stamp set
Are you a Pesto lover? Do you like different kinds of Pesto? And do you make your own Pesto from time to time? 3 times yes? Then this Pesto label stamp set might be the right thing for you.
I use an A4 blank printer label sheet, cut out a piece, put on the stamps and finished. There you have a wonderful label for your home made Pesto.
New Years resolution
I usually don’t do this. Maybe this isn’t a classical new years resolution and I could simply call it a goal.
Last year I sold 4 stamps on Etsy! And I want to beat this. I sold my first stamp this year yesterday. A narwhale stamp. The parcel is ready to be shipped to the USA. Only 4 more to go. Go and get one!
Make your own Chocolate bar
Have you ever wanted to make your own Chocolate bar? It’s very easy. You need dark chocolate, butter or coconut oil and whatever you want to have in the chocolate. I used almonds, cranberries and apricots.
Melt the chocolate, add the oil or butter and maybe some cream. Cut the nuts and berries and fruits. Pour the melted chocolate into a flat form and put the nuts, berries and fruits on top of the chocolate. Finished.
The idea from the serendipity blog. There is also a nice way how to wrap the chocolate for a gift.
Narwhale stamp
I like things that are a little bit angry, like this unicorn that has been forced to play the narwhale. But it made me add another whale to my whale stamp collection.
Supercraft Kit #9
I always intended to tell you more about the supercraft kits. I think I did it once but then never mentioned what I had done with it or what was in it…
Well here is what I found in the winter kit #9:
It was all about making and wrapping gifts; gift wrap paper, stamps to stamp blank gift wrap paper, a blank ribbon to stamp, a calendar with space to create a personal calendar, a cookie recipe, lot’s of ideas how to decorate a gift, instruction how to make a potato stamp, paint and an ink pad for all the stamps.
There is always a small booklet with a few ideas what you can do, but actually everything is allowed. The good thing about getting several of these kits it that your DIY supplies are getting larger and you can combine materials from different kits!
You can get new year kit #10 here.
Broom Stick Nimbus 2000
I came across a picture with many different broom sticks. Being a Harry Potter addict and a stamp maker I created a Harry Potter Nimbus 2000 broom stick stamp. And here is the result.
Advent calendar
I wish I had not already made an advent calendar. But there is always next year, right? I made my calendar, inspired from the autumn supercraft kit. Cute little black and white boxes, which I folded. Little did I know, that I would soon find the most awesome advent calendar ever on the DIY or DIE blog.
My nephew will almost be two next Christmas. I bet he’ll love it!
Worldmap stamp
I don’t like Christmas in November. No, it should not start before December! But when you own a shop, then you have to think about Christmas before December, or you’ll be to late to sell your stuff.
This year I have done that and here is the Worldmap stamp. You can make your personal cards from everywhere in the world. They don’t have to be for Christmas. You can also take the stamp with you when you go on holiday in case you don’t like these cheesy postcards they sell everywhere.
Stamp, and your DIY card is finished.
Drawing trees
When we were in Seattle, living on the boat for a few days, I got this very creative phase. I don’t know if it was because the boat was gently rocking us into sleep or because we had a table to write, paint and draw. But I was suddenly into drawing trees.
PS: the wisdom is not from me, but copied from somebody else in the world wide web!
