My Bad..

Hello Cakettes..

So yesterday I had published a post about the opening of my store, and the reasons why I chose Zibbet and not Etsy... It appears I was badly mistaken.. One of my sweet Cakettes has sent me a message letting me know that Esty does have a category for supplies. The category is only for crafting supplies, but it seems I was mistaken and have given you guys the wrong information, so I wanted to rectify it...

Thanks to my sweet Cakette for letting me know, and I am sorry for telling you something inaccurate, I obviously did not look "into Esty" well enough...

I am still happy with Zibbet and hope you guys like the choice too.. but if that ever changes I now know that Etsy would also be an option.. :)

Hope you all have a wonderful day.. !!!

My Big Announcement and Cupon!!

Dear Cakettes,

Today's post is going to be about my big announcement!! YES!!! My online store is finally open!!!


I Feel like screaming with excitement!!! :) But I won't.. My windows might not survive... lol

I chose Zibbet, and if you are wondering why, well.. I haven't really had the time to finish my own website, so I had the choice between esty and zibbet, but when I started looking more into esty, I found out that you're only supposed to sell handmade items on there, and I might have a couple of other things for sale in the future (non-handmade) such as crafts supplies.. So.... I chose zibbet as my understanding is that I can sell handmade items as well as supplies..

 Now, I know you are probably thinking.. "I'm pretty sure I've seen people selling supplies on etsy", well.. those people aren't supposed to, if etsy finds accounts such as these, it's likely they would get closed down.. and I did not want to risk it..

So Since I have been using Zibbet, I have been really enjoying it.. The site is pretty easy to use and they don't have outrageous fees and charges as some other sites have.. so to me is working.. At least for now.. :)


Anyway.. Enough of that.. Some of you know that I have spent the whole of my summer break creating and making things.. so now it's time to reveal my yummy goodies.. I have got a bit of variety, but the store is mainly focused on charms at the moment.. I have tons of them for sale..

Everything you will see in my store at the moment was created by me, so you won't find it anywhere else.. :)

And of course, because I LOVE Vintage Cameos, I HAD to have them in my store..





From the Elegant Charcoal with diamond sparkles...

To the pretty in pink...

To this vintage blue.. There is a lot of variety in colour, sizes, and styles...


I personally love these Florettes.. They are so vintage and pretty.. I have one myself and I wear it as a brooch.. :)

And of Course, with Christmas around the corner how could I leave out St Nicholas?



And just in case you are wondering of course I have handmade flowers.. My all time favourite... :)




I also have a bunch of different charm kits...





Different kits.. different colours.. Sizes.. Shapes.. :) 

These are just a fraction of the items I'm selling, this post would have no end if I decided to add pictures of all items I'm selling.. But if you want to see everything else I have available please head over to my Zibbet store:

Halloween R.I.P. Coffin Treat box Template

Hello Cakettes!!!!

   Here is yet another Halloween project I have created to treat my sweet sweet husband..

   Another one of my husband's favourite is Jelly Beans, so of course I had to get him some.. But there was nothing "halloweeny!" about the packaging they come in, and I wanted to create something creepy, but cute to wrap those yummy beans...

   I had something in particular in mind.. I really wanted a box in a shape of a coffin so that I could decorate my way.. so when I couldn't find anything like it to buy, I decided to go ahead and make my own template... And this is what it looks like when I was done...



I have added texture to the top part of the box and decorated it with some very inexpensive spider web and plastic spiders...






I didn't bother do very much to the inside as I didn't feel it needed it, but if you feel differently remember that you can decorate yours however you want.. :)





Don't you just love the contrast between the dark grunge box and the colourful yummy sweets?


   So here's the good news!!!!! Just like my previous templates I will be sharing the files for this box with my sweet Cakettes!!! YEEEIIII!!! :)

And of course once again it is FREE!!!!

So Just in case you haven't seen my previous free template post here is how it works.. Because it's a template I have designed myself I am happy to share with all of my subscribers and followers.. You can download it and use it as many times as you would like..

Halloween Pillow Box Treat Pouch Template

Hello Beloved Cakettes!!!!

With Halloween around the corner, it's time to get the those sweet treats ready... I don't have children, and actually no one really goes go trick or treating around the area I live, so the only person I have to think about is my husband..


I love giving him something on Halloween, and this year is no different.. The only thing I had to do is think of creative ways to "wrap" those treats.. So I have decided to create a little box to wrap some chocolate bars I bought for him... and because I had something in mind I decided to go ahead and create a template of what I wanted to do. So here's what I've come up with...




It's a pillow box which I have decorated in a Halloween theme..






I have also added a tag so I can write a little msg...







It was the perfect size to fit two average sized chocolate bars.. Galaxy is one of his favourites so it was a no brainer...  :)


The good news is I will be sharing the file with my sweet Cakettes!!! YEEEIIII!!! :)
The best part it that it's FREE!!!!


So here is how it works.. Because it's a template I have designed myself I am happy to share with all of my subscribers and followers.. You can download it and use it as many times as you would like..

Hello Cakettes !!!!!


You must be wondering what on earth is a Cakettes? Well... I am the host and founder of CraftsDotCupCake channel on YouTube, and to me it made sense to give my personal blog the same name...
  
   When I was writing this post I just really wanted to show my love and affection to my subscribers and followers by giving you all a very cute and adorable nickname, and Cakettes is what I have come up with... So I hope you all like it!!!! :D
  
   Today is a very exciting day for me and I hope for you too, because today I have finally started my piping hot new blog. It has taken forever and a day, but I am so excited!!!!
  
   I am a shy and very private person so starting a blog was a big deal for me... BUT.. Technology is pushing us towards new ways of living and we must adapt, right?
  
   I have actually been wanting to start a blog for a long time, but everything else always got in the way.. Well.. Maybe it was just an easy excuse to postpone it, but, here I am... Writing my first post hoping that at least one person out there is going to read it..


   So please excuse me for any mistakes or flows, I am new to this and promise I will get better!!


I will be sharing project ideas and some freebies very soon so stay tuned for that!!! :)


Wishing you all a Fabulous day!!!!

xoxo
Becca
