Pop up cube

2/26/2017

I have been working on a template all week to make a Pop Up Cube. I wanted to create a simple to follow set of instructions as I would like to use for a craft workshop. So I really did have my engineer head on and was helped by hubby too as I bounced ideas around.
I am preparing for a class using the Urban Underground suite from Stampin' Up! and I really wanted to be able to include this project. I have also created my first video which I will share with everyone before the class. Hopefully this will help on the day!
So I used Delightful Dijon and Basic Grey card. I created a shaker card using the Hexagon in the Build It framelits set and I used both stamp sets from the suite to decorate the cube and the Wallet.
I have created a set of PDF instructions which are available free if you sign up for my monthly newsletter. Please note I will never pass your details to anyone else.

Window box - wooden box!

This is my first blog hop so it's all very new and exciting. The theme is Sale-A-Bration Anything Goes! As I have been having a play with the Window Box Thinlit dies (142762) from Stampin' Up! I thought I could share my latest projects. I have to say the dies are so versatile. I keep looking at my paper crafted 'wooden' box and still can't quite believe it isn't really wood, the effect is really amazing. I used Crumb Cake card stock (121685) and stamped using the Hardwood stamp (133035) with Soft Suede ink (126978). It is really possible for you to create beautiful gift boxes, card holders, tealight holders, even fun characters, using this set. The list just goes on and is only limited by how many hours you have left in the day and there is always Pinterest of course! For my first project using the Window Box Thinlits I created a contemporary style box with a shaker lid.

I used the amazing Foam Adhesive Strips (141825) and I have to say they really do make shaker style projects so much easier as you don't have to spend time placing the individual foam pads! The box used Marina Mist card stock (121682) and Brights Sequins (138389) to add the WOW for the shaker lid! The box can be tricky to put together for the first time but I have created instructions and hope they help to make it easier because this really is a great set.

Emoji Gift Set

2/6/2017

I have been using the Sealed with Love suite and tried to create some projects that were not the conventional Valentine theme. I found the Emoji mugs at a local discount store and created a whole gift package. (Home Bargains if you are in the UK) The set consists of the mug, a tag and a card all matching.
I used the framelits to create the set. I have attached instructions to show everything you will need for this project. I am sure you could think of quite a few, young and old who would appreciate this gift set! I filled the mug with Chocolate hearts and Love Heart sweets although I have also seen Emoji sweets in stores so they would also work well.

I also created little hearts that I glazed to add to the ends of the ribbon using Real Red card layered with DSP from the suite. I used the 3D glaze that Stampin' Up! has now retired although I hear that the Fine Tip Glue works just as well. Just don't be tempted to touch it before it's dry. It will need a good few hours to be safe!

I created a stand for the mug using a Pizza style box and just die cut a circle from it to hold the mug in place. I wrapped the mug in cellophane. If you have any of the larger clear bags from the Christmas Seasonal catalogue they work well or A4 clear seal bags also work.
Happy Crafting!
