'Tis the season for block printing

There is nothing like receiving a personalized one of a kind hand made gift item. So on Saturday we were all busy little Santa's elves creating hand printed t-towels and canvas bags for the giving season. 

By carving out individual designs on a pink speedy cut block with lino cutters we were then ready to ink up and print to our hearts content. The versatility of block printing is amazing, from printed cards to t-towels. It's fantastic! You only have to remember to heat-set the fabric ink with an iron or else you loose your design in the wash. 

There is a cupcake and teacup obsession with our crafty group it seems! And there was even time to do some embossing with the heat gun to create gift tags to go along with the presents!
