Cupids Arrow Cards

Get creative this Valentine’s Day by making your own cute cupid cards.

List of things you will need:

Brown envelopes

Coloured card of your choice

Straws

Metallic pens

Scissors

Glue

Firstly decided on a colour theme that works, something a little clashy and within the theme of valentines (aka: pink or red heart) works really well.

Step 1 – start by creating the heart shape. You can use a stencil, download a template of a heart from the internet and draw around that. I printed a heart shape (just by using google images) and placing it onto a thick piece of card. This makes it so much easier to draw around and get a really symmetrical shape like a stencil. You need 2 heart pieces for every 1 cupid card you make. My cards are in bits of A5, after folding them a few times you are able to get x4 the amount of shapes from one bit of card.

Step 2 - Cut the straws into pieces about 8-10cms long.

Step 3 - Make the tail by using an arrow like template. (to make this easier you could just use a triangle shaped tail) I did the same with step 1 as I have done for step 3, make sure you cut out 2 pieces for the arrow's.

Step 4- Then with your metallic pens draw faces on the heart or write a cute message! Be as creative and wild as you like.

Step 5 – glue all pieces together, then voila! A cute cupid card.

Make sure you pop them in the post in time for your valentine on the 14^th feb! Enjoy guys I hope you get lots in return & send me pictures of your creations!

The Trading House

The trading house is in an amazing location in Bank. Surrounded by bars such as anthology & Harry's bar you know you are bound to have a good night in this amazing area of London. 

As we walked to our table I couldn't help but notice the amazing flooring!  This is definitely something I would like to replicate in my house. I absolutely loved it. The way that the tiles didn't even match each other gave it more of a shabby chic feel. Couldn't help but fall in love with it. 

After drooling over the tiled floor I was presented with a table mat that doubled up as a colouring page. At the moment colouring books are all the rage as they are proven to reduce stress. The drawing (I think) replicates what the trading room must have looked like when it was first used. 

To start I chose melted camonbert with bread and apple slices. First time to try this combination and I will definitely be making this at home as it was delicious. 

For my main course I chose the chicken kebab. Again - amazing! 

If you know me personally you know that marshmellows are probably one of my biggest weaknesses! To have this in a desert with ice cream, cream, and melted chocolate topped off the night. 

Starters, main & desert were all absolutely amazing and I would definitely be coming back.

I hope this has given you a little more inspiration on where to eat next! 

Much love,
