Triangular Box

Stampin' Up! easy box quick cute

I will be the first to admit 3D papercraft is not really my forte. I am a cardmaker and a stamper, however, I do dabble in box making, and I am particularly proud of this one!

Stampin' Up! easy box quick cute

I have two versions of this super cute box! The first is a card stock version – with Everyday Chic Designer Series Paper panels, and the other a DSP version using the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stacks. Both hold up well, and are super easy to make too!

Measurements:

Cardstock or Designer Series Paper – 5 x 7 3/4″ (12.6 x 19.5 cm)

Score on the short side at 1 1/2, 3 and 4 1/2″ (3.8, 7.6 and 11.5 cm)

Score on the long side at 1 3/8″ (3.4 cm)

One the short side mark the centre of the middle square – with the skinny score line on the left  – mark at 2 3/4″ and with the skinny score line on the right at 2 1/4″ (7.3 and 5.8)

Use these marks to create the triangles that will become the opening flap lid and base of your box.

July Free Online Workshop – You’re Sublime

Stampin' Up! UK You're Sublime lost lagoon cute easy card

Welcome to my Free Online Workshop for July 2015

This month I’m keeping things simple – life is insane right now, my wedding is now 3 weeks away! I am so not ready yet (so much left to do, STILL trying to find the time to make the orders of service and sort the seating plan!) But I didn’t want to miss a month of Online Workshops for you…

I chose to use the You’re Sublime stamp set this month. I love the images here, they are super cute (totally the word of this workshop – watch the video to understand what I mean!), and I think you can make a heap of different cards for all occasions with these.

Stampin' Up! UK You're Sublime online workshop

In order to keep things super simple we are making 3 cards this month, rather than boxes or bags, and there are 3 super simple cards to make along with me. Saying that there are 3 pretty distinct card making looks here. I am totally in love with the ‘follow your heart’ card – those polka dots just kill me!

Follow Your Heart

This card uses a Lost Lagoon card base with a Whisper White card layer. There are only 3 colour here; Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral and Smoky Slate, and they are added to the Whisper White layer using Sponge Daubers to stamp the colour on! What a great technique. The super sweet caravan is fussy cut, and coloured in the same colours with my Blender Pens (yes, I LOVE them!!!)

Have a Snappy Day

This is a super super simple card. Once again using those great Sponge Daubers, but this time to colour a larger area – I’ll let you watch the workshop to see what I mean

Loads of Thanks

When looking for ideas for using this stamp set, I stumbled upon this set of cards on Pinterest, and was totally inspired.

I recently received the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper stack, and I will admit I was scared – black with flowers! frightening! But as soon as I started to use it I fell in love! The patterns are small and dainty, but really sweet, they are the perfect size for card making – and its a 6 x 6 pad – awesome!

Stampin' Up! UK You're Sublime free class online

I have a great workshop for you next month – seeing as I’m away on honeymoon, I thought a Wedding theme may be appropriate! That workshop will go live on the 12th August 2015

Male Birthday Card

Stampin' Up! UK Male cards

I know I’m not the only one who’s heart sinks when it comes to Male Birthday cards. They are tricky, particularly when – like me – you’re drawn to flowers and pink!

So, last month it was James’ oldest brothers Birthday. I try really hard not to make themey cards – John likes running, but that doesn’t mean he must have a running themed birthday card, does it?!

Stampin' Up! UK Male cards

This is where Stampin’ Up! outdo themselves, Guy Greetings. What a fantastic guy themed stamp set! I’ve paired it here with Gorgeous Grunge for a really cool grungy look.

Stampin' Up! UK Guy Greetings Male Birthday

I actually got a ‘ooh, that’s cool!’ for this card! I know, I was surprised too! Most of my family are totally not bothered by a handmade anything, none of them understand the effort and thought, and very few actually appreciate what I have done – This does not stop me!

So, the card – a Cucumber Crush card base, layered with a piece of Typeset Designer Series paper and a matt of Very Vanilla – stamped with Gorgeous Grunge in Cucumber Crush and Sahara Sand. Cool, huh?

Heaps! This week I am free from the day job, so I’m taking advantage and getting lots of blog work done! I spent all of yesterday filming and I plan to do something very similar today. I also managed to grab a couple of days off with James last week, and took advantage of the great weather for a picnic in the park!

I also have plans for getting this Wedding prep sorted by the end of the week! I managed to grab 10 minutes yesterday to cut and score my Orders of Service, so I just have to print and assemble. As well as create the bouquets, finish the seating plan, and fill the favours! One month to go today! eeeeek!

Card Storage Box

Stampin' Up! UK card storage box cherry on top DSP

There are a stack of these floating around on Pinterest, but I just had to put my own spin on it. The Classic Card Box. I wanted a box specifically to hold cards and envelopes while they wait to go to customers. Did you know that I always send a ‘Thank You’ card when you place an order in my store? If you have ordered and haven’t received a card it may be that you have selected ‘No Contact’ drop me an email if you think I’ve missed you.

Stampin' Up! UK card storage box video tutorial

The first box uses Lost Lagoon card stock, and a piece of that lovely Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack. Whereas the video version is in Bermuda Bay with a piece of Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper. I grabbed the Cherry on Top DSP during demonstrator Pre-Order, purely because it was available to me! Demonstrators get the chance to order from a sample of product before the big launch! and I have to say, looking at the pictures in the Catalogue, I’m not sure that I would have ordered if it hadn’t been in that pre-order selection. And I would have missed out! Because it is fabulous! Featuring Bermuda Bay, Cucumber Crush, Crushed Curry, Pool Party, Tip Top Taupe and Watermelon Wonder, and a collection of birthday themed papers with some great patterns; it would look fab as part of a Project Life album! I might even have to order a second pad!

Measurements:

Card stock – 12 x 8″ (30.5 x 20.5 cm)

Score on the long side at – 4 1/2, 5 3/4, 10 1/4, and 11 1/2″ (11.5, 14.5, 26, and 29 cm)

Score on the short side at – 1 1/4″ (3 cm) turn the card stock around and score in the wide section nearest the skinny flap at 1 1/2″ (4 cm)

Designer Series Paper – 4 1/4 x 5″ (11 X 12.5 cm)

The best is yet to come…

Stampin' Up! UK Best Thoughts

I love this sentiment, it is so true! I am loving my journey as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, and I know the best is yet to come!

Stampin' Up! UK Best Thoughts blender pen on vellum

The flower here is stamped in Stazon Black on Vellum, and then coloured using Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush using my Blender Pens. The blender pens work amazingly on Vellum, because its a very smooth surface the ink takes longer to dry which means you have longer to blend them with the blender pen. Let me know if you fancy a tutorial video on this!

The vellum is mounted on Whisper White card stock, but with the stamped image facing the card stock, giving a softer look. The sentiment is also stamped in Stazon ink but on the outside of the vellum, so its darker than the lines of the flower. The Vellum is stuck onto the card stock using Fast Fuse – Fast Fuse is completely clear and so is great for using with vellum, still I always try and apply it under a coloured section or embellishment

I love the designer series paper mount too, its a sheet from the Cherry on Top DSP stack, and the card is finished with a couple of pieces of Cherry on Top Washi Tape

Just before I go, you only have a few more days to book onto my latest Technique Class using An Open Heart – Class costs £10 – Booking closes on Monday!

How to use the Stampin’ Up! Gift Bag Punch Board

Stampin' Up! UK Gift bag punch board tutorial

I love a simple gift bag, and with the Gift Bag Punch Board Stampin’ Up!® has made making super cute bags super easy! I know I will be using this punch board lots in the coming months (and even more around Christmas!) but I wanted to give you a quick guide to using the board before we drive into more complex projects with it!

How To:

The gift box punch board has the instructions printed onto it so you can refer back at each use, but I thought I would share some tips.

The punch board includes a great scoring tool / bone folder – always store it back into the board so you don’t loose it! It is so easy to loose a great tool like this in your crafty mess

The width of the paper or card stock is important: a small gift back uses 10″ (25.4 cm) wide DSP, and the S line on the board. A medium sized bag uses 11″ (27.9 cm) wide DSP and the M line on the board. A Large bag uses 12″ (30.5 cm) wide DSP and the L line on the board. The length of the DSP (or card stock) is not important, and just varies the height of the final bag, the board suggests using lengths between 4″ (10 cm) and 12″ (30.5 cm) In the video the card stock that I used was 10 x 6″ (25.4 x 15 cm)

The punch may be a little stiff, use the board on a table and stand to punch.

Have fun!

Hexagonal Gift Bag

Stampin' Up! UK candle gift designer series paper stack

These candles fell into my bag a few months ago during a mad dash around Ikea. I love Ikea candles, and this scent in particular is one of my very favourites – Vanilla Ice Cream, Yum! I often give them as gifts, but trying to package them is always a little awkward. Or it was, how cute is this gift bag!

Hexagonal gift bag

 

I adore the new Designer Series Paper Colour Collections, these use the Neutrals in Basic Grey and Sahara Sand. The collections have been re-configured this year, changing the patterns, so now each collection contains 40 sheets, 2 of each of 2 double sided designs in 10 colours (or 4 of each of 2 double-sided designs in 5 colours for the In-Colour collections). The designs are stunning; a diagonal stripe, a little floral print, a bold polka dot, and my favourite a wonderful script. They are fab!

Stampin' Up! UK candle gift designer series paper stackThese bags are quick and easy to make, as well as holding a good amount of whatever you choose. They are strong too, these both contain candles, without any danger of the bottom giving way! The base of the bag has 6 layers of DSP, making them super strong.

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper, or card stock; 11 x 8″ (28 x 20.5 cm)

Score on the long side at: 1 3/4, 3 1/2, 5 1/4, 7, 8 3/4 and 10 1/2″ (4.5, 9, 13.5, 18, 22.5 and 27 cm)

Score on the side side at: 3 and 6″ (7.5 and 15 cm)

Fold and burnish all the score lines

Holding the DSP in the landscape direction, with the fatter bit at the bottom, cut off the skinny end section, and cut up each one of the score lines to the first horizontal score.

Apply Fast Fuse to the skinny end section and fold to create a tube. This seam with be the back of the bag. Then apply Fast Fuse to 3 of the bottom sections and fold each section in to form the base.

Turn the bag so it is the right way up, pinch in the top, and make holes with the 1/8″ handheld punch.

Feed your ribbon through the holes, starting from the front of the bag and working your way around

Finish with a bow

Wedding Week – Wedding Favours

Stampin' Up! UK lided box video tutorial

I have recently put together my wedding favours, and I wish I could say that these are they, but they’re not. They are super cute little milk cartons, and I absolutely love them, but they are not these.

These would be perfect as Wedding Favours, and would hold a good amount of sugared almonds or other confectionery. I have once again pulled out the Something Borrowed Designer Series Paper – this paper retires on the 2nd June (that’s next Tuesday!) so grab it now while you still have the chance.

Stampin' Up! UK wedding favours something borrowed designer series paper

I love a monotone look for weddings, simple colours to make sure people are looking in the right place i.e.: at the bride and groom! and this paper is just perfect for that, detailed enough to be stunning, but not too complex that it shouts too loud.

Measurements:

Base – Card stock = 6 x 6 ” (15 x 15 cm)

score on all 4 sides at 2 ” (5 cm)

Lid – Designer Series Paper = 5 1/16 x 5 1/16″ (12.8 x 12.8 cm)

score on all 4 side at 1 1/2″ (3.8 cm)
