Pop Up Fun

Good Morning Everyone, 

How are we all today? 

Firstly I would like to say a great big thank you for the followers that have joined me recently and a thank you to my faithful followers who have stuck with me for so long. 

Today is something slightly different, I am sure we have all seen the new craze of the Pop Up Boxes that are going around. 

I purchased the file from the Silhouette website when it was on sale and I used it for decorations for mothers day.

This is what I come up with, it is so easy to make and I will be doing a tutorial on it very soon.

I decided to go with the flower theme as all my spring flowers are starting to show in the garden and both mums love flowers, I went with spring type colours, of Lemons, Light Greens, Purples.

One of the Boy's

Good Morning Everyone, 

Today is the start of a new challenge over at Eclectic Ellapu

Now don't forget we have mixed things up a bit, to give the DT chance to get around everyone blogs and leave comments we have extended to every three weeks, but with two different challenges running at the same time. You can enter both challenges and have the chance to win in both. 

I am part of the Pink Team and the Pink theme is "One of the boys" our Purple team have gone for "Easter"

So on to today's card. 

I created a 8x8 card matted and layered it with Red and Black card.

For the main layer of the card I created a "football" look to it, I took the idea of my very talented friend Donna and I hope I have done her idea justice.  I finished each hexagon of with faux stitching, black on the white and white on the black, I really hope that it adds enough detail to the card.

I finished the card with a Lili of the valley stamp and coloured it in with Graph' It Markers, and as my Cricut Machine was feeling a bit jealous I decided he could help cut my letters for me to create the "Happy Birthday"

So here is the card

I am entering this into the following challenges. 

2 Sisters Challenge - Teddy Bears - 30//04

Craftitude - #62 Anything Goes - 18/04

Just Add Ink - #209 Just Add Layers - 11/04

Sister Act Card Challenge - #51 Anything Goes - 11/04

Well that is it for me, I hope you can join us over at Eclectic Ellapu for our new challenges.

Favour Box - Tutorial

Good Morning Everyone, 

Well today is the day that I start my tutorials. This is my first tutorial so I hope it goes well, and I hope that you enjoy. 

Step One 

Download the relevant box - This is the one that I have used - HERE

Step Two 

Open the file in the silhouette studio, change the settings to A4 on a 12x12 Mat

Step Three 

Resize the main part of the box to 7.680 x 4.010

Step Four 

Resize the four squares to 1.735 x 1.895

 Step Five 

Resize the Bottom of the box to 2.235 x 2.235

Step Six 

Move the shapes so that they all fit the paper on the mat, and cut using the settings that you need for the card that you are using. 

Step Seven

Pull the parts from the mat and lay out on your desk, make sure that all the "bits" pop out, if not use a pokey tool to get them out. 

Step Eight

Using the score lines that the cameo has cut for you, fold the lines to make it start to stand up.

Step Nine

Using the same technique, fold the tops over as well

 

Step Ten

Fold the edges of the top back on themselves and not so that they go into the box.

Step Eleven

Take the coloured squares and glue them to the inside of the box shape.

Step Twelve

Fold the bottom section so that you can create s base, glue this down so it looks like the picture.

Step Thirteen

Keep using the glue to glue in the base section, once you get to the end of the box, an additional tab is left over, this needs securing in to the box on the inside as well.

Step Fourteen

Once you have glued all the pieces in, and the bottom in, your box will stand up and look like below.

Step Fifteen

Pop the candle inside the box, and were the little slips are you need to secure your ribbon in through these holes.

Finished Product 

So there you go, my first tutorial, I enjoyed making the tutorial, and have done that much, that I have gone and ordered a load of new day light lighting and light tents and camera equipment to help make the tutorials quicker, and easier for you to be able to read them. 

Next stop - video tutorials!

Thanks for looking and any comments are greatly appreciated.

Favour Boxes

Good Afternoon Everyone, 

How are we all? 

So today is something slightly different. 

I decided to make little favour boxes for our mums for mothers day so after they had their buffet tea I gave these out. 

I made them using my cameo and the gift inside was a Yankee Candle. 

I made the boxes in the same shades as the cards. 

I will show the box next to the cards, when I upload the cards later this week. 

So here is the boxes
