Free Season's Greeting Printables, Christmas Gift Wrap, Boxes and Cards DIY

 

Here are some free printables for this season's gift wrapping. The last gift wrap I have offered before in AIM magazine and here,  I thought I would offer them in red and green this year too. The top gift wrap I made up this year with gnomes, snowflakes and some bricks for a Santa scene.  Just click on the images and right click to save them to your computer before printing. These can be printed in many scales, they are supposed to be 8.5 by 11 for 1:12 scale but I enjoyed using them while revamping my old Christmas room boxes in a smaller size too. If you can change your printer settings to 50% you get half scale papers and 25% you can print out quarter scale paper too. I will soon be posting my newest videos to see more ways I have used these papers. If you search for Free printables on my blog you can find some other gift wrap as well. On this page I show the above printable and directions as well. https://jdayminis.blogspot.com/2013/12/free-printable-page-and-aim-12-makes-of.html

A Mini Miniature Show starts today until Sunday, New Snowy Town Scene kit

 

Just organizing my page for A Mini Miniature Show starts today until Sunday. Hope to see you there. http://aminiminiatureshow.weebly.com/

When I was young at around this time of year and closer to Christmas, I used to love walking up and down our main street and visiting all the wonderful shops, fabric shops, toy stores etc. It was so much fun to just window shop and the windows were always fabulous. That was what I was thinking of when I started this kit but it really morphed, LOL.

I have just finished a new Quarter Scale kit as a roundtable kit for the show. It is called a Snowy Town Scene that is laser cut on heavy paper and the 4 layers and buildings can be arranged in many creative ways.

 Here is my latest video that I'm so excited Tony produced, he did a terrific job. This was my very first roombox  I did in the early 1980's.

49 Anniversary and 40 years selling minis

 

I can't believe John and I have been married 49 years today, it sounds so long but seems such a short time. Hard to believe what life would have been like without him. We have enjoyed miniatures together since he retired in 2006 and before that he would make me room boxes and houses in his spare time. We have had years filled with love and a happy family and friends.

Below are more photos of my new Halloween Baskets and Brooms. 

  I have recently designed 4 new quarter scale kits for Autumn or Halloween that will be in Shelly's A Mini Miniatures Show that started yesterday. https://aminiminiatureshow.weebly.com/dealers.html You can find them in our Etsy shop with John's new micro Farmhouse at an intro price.

A Mini Miniature Show ends today!! Sorry I am so behind, many kits to show!

 Oh my goodness, I can't believe how behind I am with posting on my blog. I guess the good thing is that I've really been busy designing and with various shows. The NAME online Calendar show as really fun as are the A Mini Miniature Show each month. It ends today. We have a few roundtables up with John's 4th shop in his town setting. https://aminiminiatureshow.weebly.com/dealers.html  There are lots of really fun dealers, I've enjoyed looking at all the listings and buying a few things! Tomorrow NAME online Roundtables start on there CreateMiniatures.org website, https://create.miniatures.org/

I also really enjoyed the online Kensington "London Dollhouse Showcase", amazing we are able to see such fabulous miniatures from dealers all over the world online.

All the kits shown above are available in our Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/jdayminis  Many are still at their Into Price if you do a search. We have been enjoying the beautiful weather yesterday and walked for 1 1/2 hours around the waterfront out at Sidney, BC. Today we hope to walk around our waterfront in Oak Bay. So beautiful! 

Thank you so much to those of you who have ordered lately, it is wonderful to be so busy and I've been inspired with so many new ideas. My most recent idea I put up yesterday in Etsy was the quarter scale sunflower kit in the top photo. They were so much fun to make and being laser cut on heavy yellow paper means that they are very sturdy for gluing and display. 

Thank you so much for looking, Mini Hugs, Jean
