Butterfly Frame
30 March 2016
In The Pink want us to use dies & punches.
My Time to Craft want "girly" creations.
Crafty Creations want something for a young girl.
I had lots of fun making this gift for my new-born niece.
I went for full-on pink, glittery, shimmery and feminine!
Being the only female in a house of males - hubby, teenagers, dog and 4 more pets -
it's good to get my pink on every once in a while :)
Love Parcel
14 February 2016
CupcakeInspirations and CraftyCardmakers want "love".
TheFridayMashUp want us to be ready for Valentine's Day.
Well if you're not ready, you've missed the boat, seeing as it's today!
We made these gift parcels at my February craft club session
together with a matching card (which I forgot to photograph, oops!).
I'll have to update the post once hubby has opened his card & present ;)
Anyhow, I digress from the aforementioned parcel.
These gift parcels are the perfect size to hold a pack of truffles (or in this case, caramel hearts!) sold at Thorntons.
And all you need to make it is 1 sheet of A4 card.
- With the card landscape style (horizontal), score it at 3" 5" 8" 10".
- Then with the card portrait style (vertical), score it at 2".
- Fold along the score lines and you will see that the 2" score line forms the base of your package.
- At one bottom corner you will have a rectangle approx 3" x 2" and at the other bottom corner you will have a square approx 2".
- Cut away the 2" square.
- Using strong glue make up into your box shape. It's easier to adhere the long side edges first. Then fold up the 4 bottom flaps.
- To fasten the top of the package, punch a small circle on either side & feed a piece of ribbon through.
Happy Valentine's Day peeps!
Smooshing
23 January 2016
The ButterflyChallenge is to use inks.
So I did some "smooshing"
New terminology for me - I'd previously referred to it as spritzing on an acrylic block!
Anyhow, it's very quick, easy and effective.
Why not give it a go? There are instructions from a precious post of mine HERE.
Happy Saturday!
Mini Desk Calendar
13 January 2016
New Year means new Desk Calendar is required!
TryItOnTuesdays have a numbers/letters challenge for us.
These are very quick to make using the mini calendar tabs you can pick up at places like Wilko's.
I always make a couple as little gifts.
Have fun!
