Polymer clay cake texturing tutorial - 2 Methods!

Hey everyone! 

I get a lot of questions and I've seen a few people ask about texturing polymer clay cakes. So I thought I'd make a tutorial series called "Starting Simple" and I'll make little tutorials on simple things you can learn to help your polymer clay creations ☺️ so this one is on how to create cake texture. I show you two ways that I know and I am in no means saying that these are the right or only ways of doing this, these are just the ways that I know!

Charm Update #21 - Tinycorns, Tinybears + more!

Hey everyone,
I'm sorry I keep forgetting that I have this blog!! I'll try to keep posting more often now. So here is my recent charm update.. I upload to my YouTube every Saturday now (starting this week...). I had a few troubles with uploading videos recently, that's why it's taken me so long to upload one, I have no idea why but hopefully it's sorted itself out now. Also, I've been busy crafting things for and decorating my new art & craft shed! (I'll do a post on this later).

So here is the video, thank you for watching and I'll see you again soon.

Back from Australia + Typo, Target, Kikki.K and K-Mart haul!

Hey everyone, I got back to the UK on Thursday afternoon and boy, was I tired! As soon as I got back in, I just kept falling asleep anywhere I sat down. Eventually, I went to bed at 9pm and slept until 9am the following morning so I slept around 12 hours! how insane is that?!  I've only just got back into my normal routine of sleeping, which I was scared I wasn't going to be able to do.

So, whilst I was over there I visited a few stationery and craft shops as well as Target and K-mart, of which shops we don't have here in the UK so I was very eager to visit. Being the stationery addict and magpie I am, I ended up buying a ton of stuff from each shop and then when I got back here to the UK I found out that Typo have actually opened a shop over here too! bonus! haha. Unfortunately it's down south so I can't pop in every day but I've just ordered another pile of products from them and I cannot wait for it to turn up!

Anyhow, I made a haul video of 99.9% of the stuff I bought whilst I was there. The reason its 99.9% is that I bought two phone cases - one of which is on my phone and one is at home along with a sculpey texture mat set I bought and some fake grass (which you will probably see in future projects!). So here is the video:

Thanks for watching and I'll see you again soon!

*Disclaimer* All of the opinions are mine and I bought the products with my own money. I was not paid at all to mention these products.

Kikki.K haul!

Hey everyone, Here's my Kikki.K haul!

I went to Glenelg and when I saw that there was a Kikki.K I had to visit since there's only one in the UK which is in London; a bit too far for me to go. So I thought I'd stop by since I'm already there! Hopefully they open one in Manchester soon. 

Here's an overview of the things I bought! I'm so excited to use them but I might save them for a haul video. 

So first thing I bought was this super cute bird pen. It's sort of greyish with navy coloured birds on it! Super cute ☺️ I also bought a plain pale blue one which I forgot to photograph separately, not sure what the ink is because I haven't used it yet but they will fit nicely in my planner loop ☺️. 

Next thing was this rainbow ink pen; it has red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Much different and colourful than the standard ones we have at home! 

I also bought this planner dashboard kit which I'm totally excited to use and see what's inside 😍. The colours are perfect for my planner. 

This is the inspiration board "kit" which just contains little cards with different sayings and phrases on. I'll probably put these in my planner too rather than make an inspiration board. 

Close up of my inspiration board kit! Love the gold/copper accents on the things in the kit. 

And last but not least, these gold and cream stickers that I'm so excited to just put everywhere!! Loving this copper/gold trend 😍. You can use these for anything so you can stick them on your gift wrappings, scrapbook etc. 

So that's my haul from Kikki.K, I'll hopefully get around to going to Target again. Unfortunately I got a head cold from surfing, trust me to go and pick it up! Hopefully should be gone in a few days 😊. 

See you again soon, 

Tiny Treats / Laura 

Craft & Stationery haul!

So here are some pictures of my most recent haul from a few shops here in Australia! 

First, we went to Target which is a shop we don't have at home in the UK. I bought the washi tape, pens and the 2 pens, notebook and bunting flag sticky notes from Target. I absolutely love it in there so I'm hoping I can go again before we come home!! 

Next, we went to K-Mart which is similar to Target. I bought the phone cases, bag and clear stickers there and they were very cheap! $3 AUD for the phone cases which is equivalent to about £1.50 in GBP. The exchange rate is about half of the Australian dollars. 

So then I went to a craft shop called RIOT I believe haha weird name, right? That's where I bought the sculpey texture mats/boards which look very interesting and I can't wait to use them! There looks to be a waffle texture one so that would be awesome. 

Hopefully I'll be going again so I might be able to get more!! ☺️

Birthday!

Hey everyone, it's Laura here! 

I hope you've all been having a super duper weekend! :) 

Today is my 21st birthday, I'm now a fully fledged adult and I have to go around editing all my profiles so it says 21 instead of 20 - imagine if there was some way of doing this haha!! 

So here is a birthday cupcake that I made a while ago now (I actually made two!) - it's a little pastel pink cupcake base with a little candle on top and sprinkles. I hope you all like it, I should have more products coming soon to my Etsy! 

Thanks for stopping by 💖 

Filofax Domino Planner Setup 2016!

Hey everyone, I've finally filmed this planner set up video. I bought this recently-ish, around December 2015. I feel like this is the most handiest planner I've had because its fairly small and not as bulky as my Paperchase planner was. I'm mainly using this for personal use and my Paperchase planner for my shop (I didn't want to stop using it entirely, it's too pretty!!). So here's the video, I hope you enjoy it :) thanks for stopping by!

Carrot Cake Ring! 🍰

🍰Carrot Cake Ring!🍰

Hey everyone, I made these a while ago but didn't have any ring bases to go on to the cake so I recently bought some in silver and gold. There is this silver one and also a gold one up on my Etsy Link is in the sidebar and also at the bottom on this blog ☺️

I think I'm going to have to make more cakes soon! I love making them, definitely my favourite things to make. 

Kawaii Nutella 'Choctella' Jars 🍫

Hey everyone it's Laura or Tiny Treats here again. 

I just wanted to share with you all these little Nutella jars that I made - I actually named them 'Choctella' because I didn't want to get in trouble for using trademarks! I love how they turned out, after a long time of not making any since the first time I made them. 

I'm feeling really crafty and can't wait to make some more things for my shop 😊 I think my speciality is becoming my cake slices, people really seem to love those as they seem to be liked a lot and sell like hot cakes 😉.  

So today I need to go out and post some parcels but at the moment we have Storm Jonas over here in the UK but it's rain rather than snow! It's absolutely raining cats and dogs outside and I have to go to buy food - I'm going to come back so windswept! 😩. 

Anyways, these little 'Choctella' jars are up on my Etsy - http://www.etsy.com/shop/tinytreatz 

(link is also in the footer of my blog!) 

P.s I hope you like the little make over I gave my blog last night 😊 It looks much better than it did before!

✨ Galaxy Star Necklaces! ✨

I recently purchased some Pearl-ex powders and I wanted to use them to create some galaxy themed products! So, I made these galaxy stars!

There are 7 available, although I feel like keeping one for myself haha. They will all come with a necklace chain & jump ring, I just didn’t see the point in showing them all with one. I love the shine the pearl-ex powders give the clay, its so sparkly!! 

I’ve been super busy these past few days making some cute charms for Valentines and Easter and I’ll be uploading those later today. 

These stars are up for sale on my Etsy if any of you are interested in purchasing one :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Kawaii Carrot Necklaces!

I made two of these little guys, I really enjoyed making them 😊. I've been waiting for it to be a little bit brighter outside so I can take some photographs of the new products 😅! I'm going to make some more products today as this week is like the calm before the storm 😂. I might not get chance after this week. I posted this on my Instagram yesterday, I just had to share it here! 

Anyhow, enjoy the rest of the week! 

These are available on my Etsy - www.etsy.com/shop/tinytreatz (Link is also at the bottom of the blog) 💖

Recent resin pieces ✨

Hey everyone, it's Laura from Tiny Treats here! 

Just thought I'd share with you the little resin pieces I've been making recently whilst I've been at home since its where I keep my resin (too messy for my flat 😂) 

I used Pebeo Gedeo Crystal Resin - it's a little different to Easy Cast as you use two parts resin to one part hardener. 

It still takes 24hours to dry but seems to take a while to get tacky, I don't know if that's just the way it happens for me or if it's the norm. 

Anyway, I made these resin pieces and I just love how they turned out, the colours /glitters are just stunning when the resin is put on top - they really seem to pop out and explode in colour 😊. 

I hope you like them, I'll be doming the rest of them today and most likely make some more pieces with the rest of the resin. Thanks for stopping by! - Laura

Resin - Pebeo Gedeo crystal resin

Stickers - Sweet shop stickers from Tesco

Glitter - Various different shops; EBay, The Works, WHSmith...

Kawaii Pack of crayons necklace!

🖍Kawaii Pack of Crayons Necklace🖍

This little pack of crayons was a remake from years and years ago when I made it for the first time! It's a lot cuter now 😂 and neater. As you can tell, I like colourful things and I'm still on that rainbow rush 😁

I've listed some new products on my shop and changed the photos of some so far to more like these 😊 

This little cutie is available on my Etsy - Link is in bio💕

Raspberry Chocolate Necklace!

I also made this a while ago but I'm still so proud of the way this little chocolate turned out! I love making them, they're so fun 😊

Just got back from a busy day out, catching up with a lovely friend of mine and having a shop, bought some more crafty things and I also have some coming in the post 😍 I'm so excited 😁😁 can't wait to use them. 

Hope you've had a fab day - Laura 

Kawaii Cola Necklace

Cola drink necklace! 

I love how it's little face came out 😊 I also made Lemonade and Cherryade. I don't actually drink fizzy drinks because they make me quite ill! 

I hope to be re making some old charms when I get back to university (where my polymer clay is at 😩) with these kind of faces and making more "treats" as my shop is kinda supposed to be food based 😂. I'll still be making owls (I've made a new design for them which is super cute imo) so hopefully you will like them too. 😊 

For now, this is available on my Etsy - www.etsy.com/shop/tinytreatz  💖

Thanks for popping by! - Laura
