The Birth Flower Fairies and Birthstone Pirates have been added to and re-uploaded. They are in fact mini gift baskets for a special little birthday child. There is a mug set and card set for each month.

The Birth Flower Fairies are surrounded by their flowers in pots, baskets and carts. Their little Flutterby Friends are with them too.

The Birthstone Pirates are surrounded by treasure trunks, ships and flags.
Their trusty Parrot Pets are there too.

The Fairy and Pirate sets are also being added to the big Birth Flower and Gem month combos.

The Fairy-In-My-Mug and Pirate-In-My-Mug sets have a 3D Mug, a character mug pocket with space for a store gift card, a choc wrapper for a snack choc bar, and an itty-bitty bag for a small gift that can all fit in the mug. And a cupcake wrapper and gift wrap for other small gifts that can fit in the presentation tray along-side the mug.

The Pirate mug set has parrot and birthstone papers, as well as sky blue striped paper.
The Fairy mug set has butterfly and birthstone papers, as well as striped papers that coordinate with each month's flower colours.

The greeting cards also have a pocket for a store gift card to form a nifty little card-n-gift set. If the card and mug set are presented at the same time, the card pocket can be omitted or filled with a little sweetie, coin or note.

Both the mug and card sets give substance and 'thud value' to store gift cards. To a child those do not look like much, regardless of the monetary value for a gift at a later stage.

​Great fun for little ones.

I have been aiming to get back into fabric design again. I have been out of it for ages, but used to do quite a lot of fabric design at one point in my design career. I have just uploaded a variation of my Birds in the Bush paper cutouts to Spoonflower.
​The colorway is made up from Pantone's Classic Blue palette for 2020. Designs only go on sale once the designer has ordered, received and okayed swatches - so it first has to ship all the way to Finland. I will update at that point.

I am continuing with the tedious task of moving Anni Arts Crafts back to the main Anni Arts site. A sub domain might be a good idea. Either way, it is a heck of a job, so don't hold your breath. The current Anni Arts Crafts site is still functional from the user's side, but a nightmare for me on the technical side. It simply does not like new pages to be built! I tried an overhaul, but there are too many little issues and glitches. The first to move is the Seasons and Reasons Printable Crafts Club - which I am relaunching.

​Now is the time to gather all the Christmas, Holiday and other greeting cards to reuse them to make nifty new and fun items.

The PDF Ebook has bonus items - which I also send to those who bought the printed book , ebook - or library users who need the templates.
The bonus items include an extra booklet with crafts, plus one of the Anni Arts Decorate It! mugs and packets, plus the Anni Arts kids mug!! And lovely gingham papers that coordinate with many greeting card images.

I am happy to say that this evergreen Anni Arts craft book has been instrumental in recycling loads of greeting cards! When I wrote and designed the book more than 10 years ago, there were almost no crafts on this subject matter. In the mean time, lots of the ideas in the book have leaked out on the internet.

​Many of the freebie templates and pics on the Anni Arts Crafts freebie page can also be used in conjunction with used greeting card and wrapping paper crafts.
