Look where we’ve been spotted!

We’ve spotted our Marmalade cards on the John Lewis display in the Trafford Centre. Bursting with sugary shades we think they will be a favourite!

We loved the bright and colourful pom poms, with matching pip studio teacups!

‘To a lovely Mum’ with Mother’s day just around the corner, this is the perfect send!

We’ve also been spotted in the Isetan Department store in Shinjuku, Japan. Our Paloma and Platinum ranges made for the perfect display.

We would love to see photos of more displays, so if you are out and about and spot a Belly Button card make sure to tweet it to us!

Here are some lovely Valentines ideas –

The perfect way to wrap a present for the one you love!

Bake macaroons, if you’re feeling really adventurous you could even make them heart shaped!

Finish off your wonderful sends by sealing them with a heart stamp!

Top Drawer London

This week Belly Button have been at Top Drawer, in between taking orders and talking to customers we managed to steal some time to have a look around.

We had a wonderful time looking around all the stands and saw many of our favourite companies!

Our stand looked fabulous and was showcasing all of our new designs including, Platinum, Paloma and our new range, Creme Brulee.

Our Paloma and Platinum giftware ranges went down a storm.

Creme Brulee sparkling under the spotlights.

Our award winning Platinum range was the star of the show and a favourite with everybody.

Paloma looked wonderful and stood out against our beautiful charcoal walls.

We loved the brightly coloured giftwrap from ‘Wrap’

The Urban Graphic stand looked wonderful!

We spotted these cosy looking slippers from Sew Heart Felt and just had to share them!

We loved these satchels from Bakker, so many beautiful patterns and a lovely display!

Gorgeous crockery from Moorish, we loved the bowls!

The Rifle Paper Company stand was another of our favourites!

We loved the colours of the wax on the True Grace stand – very eye catching!

In the home-ware section we saw this Mini Moderns display. We particularly liked the use of pattern and natural earth colours.

We also spotted our foil embossed Platinum range looking lovely in Paperchase!

After the show we took a little look inside West Elm and we were amazed by their living wall!

We had a fabulous time so far meeting lots of new customers and catching up with some familiar faces.

Glitter Pumpkins Tutorial

Here at Belly Button we love anything glittery and with Halloween right around the corner, we thought what could be better than making a glittery pumpkin (or two)

Free foliage photoshop brushes from Creature Comforts blog

Things you will need – Pumpkins, glitter, pva glue and also a pencil and a paintbrush

Once the glue and glitter have dried brush away any excess glitter to reveal your fabulous sparkly polka dots underneath!

If you want to add even more sparkle to your pumpkin you can cover the stalk in glitter too.

We also decorated a smaller pumpkin by covering the bottom half in glitter and then adding a gold bow, you can go all out or keep it very simple, it’s completely up to you.

We would love to know if you make your own glittery pumpkin, so make sure to tweet us a photo if you do!

Platinum Party Time

Here at Belly Button we love nothing more than a fabulous party, and what could be more fabulous than having one to celebrate our Henries Platinum win!  This year our best-selling metallic foil embossed Platinum range received a prestigious Henries award for ‘Best Relations and Occasions’ and we couldn’t have been happier! We had a lovely party this morning to celebrate, and of course a party isn’t a party without tea and cake (which we had plenty of).

Our gorgeous display of Platinum cards, notebooks, gift wrap, gift bags and mugs.
