I’m so excited to offer kids these sweet TULIP KITS to make for their moms (or anyone!) for Mothers Day! The kits include everything you need to make them. All you need is glue and a paperclip! Porch pick up only in Ballston Spa. Please leave a comment if you’d like one! Limit 2 per child please.
We are all doing what we can to stay home while figuring out how we can help all each other at the same time. I don’t really sew so making masks were out. I’ve made meals for those in my community but felt I needed to do more. Then I had a thought! CARDS! It’s what I do! So I went through cards I made in the past and added to them. In each card I added a sweet “thinking of you” note. Sealed them up (safely) and brought them to a friend (thanks Julie!) to deliver to residents in a local nursing facility. 65 of them! Boy did that feel good! I encourage you all to help each other in any way you can. Even if it means just staying home. Stay safe my friends. Patty
MIA lately but time to get back into the swing of things! A new baby is on the way and what a great way to start off Spring! These sweet pillow boxes were a special order from an old friend about to welcome her first grandchild! She will use these to hold gift card prizes at the baby shower this weekend. It’s a gnome theme shower so thought these would be perfect!
It was a great first Christmas season at Foxglove Paperworks! I was overwhelmed at the responses and well wishes from everyone! I am truly speechless (and for those who know me, that is truly a rarity!)
The crafts fair brought not only many sales, but also a lot custom orders which was awesome. The orders kept me busy through all of December and for that I am very grateful! I thank each and every one of you who reached out to me to create some of your Christmas gifts! I made LOTS of Santa, Elves, and snowmen table favors filled with Hershey Kisses. They were the big hit of the season. Everyone loved the idea of gift cards attached to the coffee candle (who wants to just hand someone a gift card?!) The Post A Note desk holders were also very popular along with the reindeer food in test tubes. I sold out of the wood slice ornaments at each craft fair. I had quite a few custom orders for gift tags. It was fun to come up with different ideas for everyone! I think my favorite thing of the season was the cocoa packs with marshmallows in test tubes (such cute packaging!), a candy cane and a sweet little wooden spoon! They were fun to make!
I also loved holding the workshops at my house. They were fun get togethers and I look forward to offering more fun projects in the new year! Let me know if there is anything special you would like to make. I can even hold a class in your home. Get 5 other friends to attend and your workshop is free! Email me for details!
As with any new venture, there is always so much to learn! The biggest thing I learned was I need to start designing and creating A LOT EARLIER in the year! I already have a list to make for next Christmas and will start working on them in March. Yup, probably even before Spring I’ll break out the red and green paper again!
Thank you to everyone whether you bought something at a craft fair, attended one of my workshops, ordered something custom, or cheered for me from the sidelines, you all have made a difference in my life! Patty
Please enjoy this slideshow of my Christmas crafting season!

This weekend was the beginning of my craft show weekends! I was at the Community Center in Malta on Saturday and at the firehouse in Rexford on Sunday. If you take a look at my calendar, you’ll be able to see where I’ll be in the future! They were a lot of fun and thank you to my family and friends who took the time to come to support me! You are the best!
Boy, did I learn a lot! I learned what and what not to do! I had 3 top sellers that I sold out of on Saturday and we spent the evening making more. Next time I’ll be more prepared. It’s difficult to know what will sell!
I’m now onto designing and making items for my Holiday Workshops! Coming up is an Advent Calendar, a Gift Card class, and a holiday decor class! These will make great gifts or even make one for yourself. Maybe even a gift tag class if time allows. So many ideas and so little time! Let me know if you are looking for anything special… I certainly can do custom classes for anything you are looking for. Also, what times are the best for you?! A weekday night, a Saturday or a Sunday?! I’d love to hear from you (via email) so I can plan accordingly! Looking forward to the holiday fun!
Working (playing!) in my craft room this morning making things for my upcoming craft fairs. Loving these fall pumpkins! I’m using the Mini Curvy Die from Stampin’ Up. Probably one of my favorite dies ever! Let me know if you’d like me to make some for you for your Thanksgiving table! You could fill them with candy and hand them out as favors or I could make them into table placecards. I can even do a class for you and a few friends! Well, I’m off to make about 100 or so more of these!
Hi I’m Patty Blake! Welcome to Foxglove Paperworks!
I’m so excited to begin this journey!
I am a papercrafter. I make all types of paper creations from banners, cards, party favors, and invitations to gift card holders and treat bags. I specialize in table and home decor. I also teach other types of crafts and will be “sneaking” them in now and again!
I offer project based workshops. (See below for my first two Halloween classes!) I can even bring the craft classes to you (the hostess gets the class for free!) I take part in craft fairs and will keep you up on the when and the where’s. I offer children’s classes. Fun for your child’s Brownie/Girl Scout troop, birthday party, or 4H group. I also gladly accept custom orders!
If you think “I can’t do that”, you’re my kind of person! I love to teach someone who feels this way and show them we all can make pretty things.
Subscribe to get updates on this site (upper right) and please email me with any questions you might have or to sign up for a class! I look forward to this new adventure! Patty
