12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 2!

October 9, 2014 Jenny Hayward

It’s Thursday and today I bring you the second week of our “12 Weeks of Christmas”. Today it is Virginia’s turn to bring you the project that I am sharing. Check this out!

It is a cute little Christmas Village scene in a Card in a Box. How sweet is it??? These are great too as they fold flat to fit in a standard size envelope.

Virginia has used Basic Black and Very Vanilla A4 cardstock. The Designer Series Paper used is the ‘Typeset’ pack from the Annual Catalogue. The cute houses are from the set ‘Holiday Home’ from the Holiday Catalogue. They have been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured with Blendabilities. The gold stars have been punched from Gold Glimmer Paper and some have been ‘suspended’ by gluing them to strips of the Window Sheet. The Christmas trees are from the same Holiday Home stamp set, stamped in Mossy Meadow while the brown trees were double stamped in Baked Brown Sugar and Crumb Cake inks. Virginia added some accents on the trees by dabbing on Versamark ink and sprinkling Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and heat setting with a heat gun. Here is a close-up so you can see them.

You can create any scene in these little “Card in a Box” type cards.

BLACKBERRY BLISS SNOWFLAKE THINLETS!

October 6, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I made this card a few weeks ago and realised I hadn’t shown you. I think I shared it on my Facebook page but forgot here. SO, here it is! This is one of the first cards I made using the Snowflake Thinlets from the Holiday Catalogue.

These cards are a bit hard to photograph but I hope you get the idea. I extended the card so it has a little fold out flap. On this flap I adhered some Gold Vellum and a strip of the Gold Foil Sheet. I cut the snowflakes and the joy word out from Gold Foil sheet also and adhered them on the card. I stamped the snowflakes from the set ‘Cheerful Tags’ over the Blackberry Bliss card. I think they co-ordinate so well with this Thinlet. I finished it off with a Gold Twine bow on the front snowflake. Hope you like???

Thanks for stopping by today. Do say Hello. I love to hear from you. 🙂

FIRST BIRTHDAY TEDDY BEAR!

September 26, 2014September 26, 2014 Jenny Hayward

I can’t believe I forgot to show you this card. I made this a few weeks ago for one of my Great Niece’s 1st Birthday. I was a little stumped at first what to do as I had nothing really suitable. I did consider the ‘Something for Baby’ set but then I thought PUNCH ART!! It has been ages since I did something like that. This little bear took a little while to work out. I did have a Punch Art Bear similar I had made a while ago but I had to reconfigure him. Once he was done the card came together fairly quickly. Do you think he is cute???

I used a number of oval and circle punches to create his body and sponged all the pieces. The greeting is from ‘Chalk Talk’ and finished with some Melon Mambo Candy Dots. I embossed some Melon Mambo card with the ‘Alphabet Press’ Embossing Folder and layered this piece on to a piece of Whisper White (after tying around some Whisper White Baker’s Twine). Then this was all adhered on to a Melon Mambo Card base.

I hope you like my cute little friend.

I hope you have wonderful weekend wherever you may be. Sending some Bear Hugs your way.

TAG BOX TUTORIAL!

September 20, 2014September 20, 2014 Jenny Hayward

Yesterday I showed you the projects I made for the Stamp-A-Latte Blog Hop using the Snowflake Thinlets. If you missed it just head back to the post before. I didn’t have time in that post to show you how I made the Tag Box so I thought I would show you that today.

Here is the cute box to show you again.

Here is inside the box showing the tags I made too. The green strip of DSP from the Nordic Noel DSP is not a Belly Band. I just added it to the top of the acetate and adhered the ends inside the lid.

You can decorate this however you want to. The finished size is 9cm x 9cm x 2cm (3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ x 3/4″). But how did I make it?? Here is the Tutorial for you.

TAG BOX

For the Base

NB: If you intend to stamp your box then do so before you assemble the box!!

Cut your card to 13cm x 13cm ( 5 1/8″ x 5 1/8″). Score on each side at 2cm (3/4″).

Fold on all score lines and cut up the 2 tabs on one side and again on the opposite side.

Place adhesive on the small tabs and assemble the box.

For the Lid

Cut your Acetate to 13.4cm x 13.4cm (5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″) and score at 2.2cm (7/8″).

Fold on all the score lines. You may want to use the Bone Folder to burnish (press down) the score lines more.

Cut up on the 2 tabs on one side and then again on the opposite side. Place adhesive on the tabs and adhere together. I used Fast Fuse or you could use Sticky Strip.

This lid is a little snug. You just need to jiggle it in but it works fine.

Decorate your box as you like. I lined the base of this box. The paper size I used was 8.5cm x 8.5cm (3 3/8″ x 3 3/8″).

These fit the tags in just nicely. The tags are punched with the 1 3/4″ circle punch.

Don’t just think of them for tags though. Why not add some chocolates???
