Love Hearts Week | Origami Box

Love Hearts Week Origami Box Video Tutorial using Sending Love Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! UK

Love Hearts sweets Video tutorials

Oh my goodness, this box looks really complicated but it is SO easy! The tutorial I found for this was on the Gathering Beauty blog, and I have re-made it using 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.

Sending Love Designer Series paper Origami Box Stampin' Up! UK

This cute box holds two mini rolls of Love Hearts, but you could make it with any size paper you like (as long as it is square) to hold what ever you like! how cool!

Instructions:

  1. Fold you piece of Designer Series Paper in half, turn and fold in half again. Then unfold and lay with the print you want on the outside, face down.
  2. Fold the bottom edge to meet the halfway mark, rotate and repeat on the opposite side. Unfold and lay flat, you should now see 8 rectangles
  3. Fold the bottom edge to meet the top fold line, rotate and repeat on the opposide side. Unfold and lay flat, you should now see a further 8 smaller rectangles
  4. Fold the top corners to meet the 2 fold line down, and the bottom corners to meet the 2nd fold line up
  5. Rotate your paper so the fold lines are vertical, and turn your paper over so you can now see the print you want on the outside of your box
  6. Fold the bottom edge to meet the halfway mark, rotate and repeat on the opposite side. Then fold the paper edge back
  7. You have now created two flaps, lift one flap, you should see two triangles, open up the triangle to make a rectangle. Do this on both sides
  8. Turn your paper over again so that the print you want on the outside of the box is face down
  9. You need to bring the flaps you created back over so you can see them. To do this you need to fold so that the edge of the flap meets the edge of the two rectangles that you can currently see (check the video for this bit, it is easier to demonstrate that explain)
  10. To construct the box; raise the flap to create the sides, you should then be able to fold the outside flaps to fold the lids of the box. You need to take the triangles on the flaps (that we got rid of before) and fold them to the second crease on the side of the box. This should pull the top of the box up. Repeat on all four triangles
  11. To close the box you can push one side of the lid into the triangles side the other side of the lid

You could make a bunch of these and store them flat (so stop at instruction 9). Right I am off to make a bigger one out of a full piece of 12 x 12! Now, which paper to choose…..


Question of the day: What has been your favourite project this week?

I love them all! I LOVE this box, but the ink technique from Wednesday is something I will be playing with again I am sure 🙂

Love Hearts Week | Distress Resist Congratulations Card

Love Hearts Week Distress Resist video tutorial using So In Love from Stampin' Up! UK

Love Hearts sweets Video tutorials

Ok, so it is Wednesday, and today – even though it is Love Hearts Week –  I have a card project for you, because I couldn’t not share this card with you almost as soon as I had made it!

One of the many ways I find inspiration on a daily basis is YouTube, and one of the very lovely people I follow is the gorgeous Jennifer McGuire (I am going to try not to sound like some sort of crazy fan-girl now….) she shares some fabulous techniques, but she doesn’t use Stampin’ Up! inks…. so I like to test out her ideas using Stampin’ Up! products. Which is what I have done today.

Love Hearts Week Distress Resist video tutorial using So In Love from Stampin' Up! UK

This technique is really very simple; select your stamp (always a good place to start!) I love using line images for this, but you could totally use something more solid too. Ink it up in Versamark and stamp in onto Whisper White card stock. Heat set it or leave it for a while to dry, and then sponge ink over the top to get this cool, delicate effect.

You could totally add white or clear embossing powder after the Versamark to make a more vibrant image too.

Jennifer McGuire Distress Resist Technique using inks from Stampin' Up! UK

And those blank Enamel shapes…. you’ll have to watch the video to see how I made those!


Question of the Day: What is your current favourite YouTube Channel

I don’t think I could possibly choose, I am enjoying watching fitness and diet theme-d videos at the moment

The heart mask is super easy to create too, I used the sweetheart punch to punch out a piece of Grid paper to use as a mask. Then use stamps (I used the small heart from Jar of Love) to stamp around the heart in Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral and Watermelon Wonder. Lovely!


Question of the Day: What is your favourite Valentines sweet treat?

I’m a sucker for anything chocolate-y, My Mr. usually buys me Thorntons for any occasion, although I dread to think what he is buying me this year seeing as we are both on a major diet 🙁

Make It Monday | Cute card using Sweet Cupcake from Stampin’ Up! UK

Make It Monday video tutorial using Sweet cupcake and watercolour pencils from Stampin' Up! UK

make-it-monday-banner

Welcome to Monday! I do hope this week is totally awesome for you…. I can make it even more awesome of course! Have you checked out my most recent Online Card Class yet? This class uses the fabulous Sweet Cupcake stamp and die bundle…. check the video to see exactly what comes in your class pack

Make It Monday video tutorial using Sweet cupcake and watercolour pencils from Stampin' Up! UK

I love the Sweet Cupcake stamp set. It is designed to work as a triple layer stamp, with both the cupcake base and the icing have 3 stamps to create a totally dimensional cupcake. However, I have only used the base layer to create this card…. and then added extra detail with Watercolour Pencils (obsessed with those!)

The watercolour pencils can be used either on their own – as regular pencils – with an Aqua Painter or a paint brush, or with a blender pen. So far my experiments with a blender pen seem to have better blended results that with an Aqua-Painter or a paint brush, but then I haven’t finished playing with them yet…
