Botanical Blooms Exploding Box Card... Stampin' Up!

Hiya - Me again!

It's such a busy time of year, I have a new full time job and Stampin' Up! is being a little neglected so apologies!

Today I'm sharing the exploding box card I made for my sister for her 40th... I love these cards and am considering doing a class - if there's enough interest... so get in touch if you would like to come along!

I used the retired corresponding papers but there are loads of alternatives! You just match the DSP with the card stock and colours you choose...

And when you lift off the lid... I used Glimmer Paper, Botanical Blooms stamps and the Botanical Builder Framelits.

Fabulous isn't it? I couldn't do it without my Stampin' Up! Trimmer and Simply Scored.

Well - I'll leave you with that for now... I'm home alone for the week as hubby is off working (gallavanting) in Devon... on the seafront...! Apparently he's fitting a bathroom... :-)

Enjoy the rest of the week! xxxx

Making super little Boxes - Video Tutorial

Hello, Exciting news for you tomorrow evening! So you HAVE to come back and find out the exciting news.

I'm writing a quick post from my sick bed as I wanted to share this video tutorial with you.

I like to make unique projects to demonstrate and I haven't seen these anywhere else so I hope they fall into that category!

I use the Stampin' Up! Trimmer and Envelope Punch Board... I have decorated using Petite Pairs (Sentiment), Chalk Talk and matching framelits and some of the Stretch Ruffled Ribbon with a couple of punches.

I hope you enjoy - Please feel free to CASE and Share - though a credit or link back to my blog would be much appreciated!

Here is a close up of that cute tag!

THANK YOU and Video Tutorial

Today I feel honoured and slightly humbled, one of my cards has been pinned on Pinterest a great deal and it has bought a lot of traffic to my blog - I would like to say a huge 'Thank You' to all my followers and anyone who chooses to Pin one of my creations.

Please do leave a comment somewhere if you visit - if only so I can return the visit.

Today I am posting a video tutorial showcasing the Envelope Punch Board, I have tried videoing slightly differently - but I think I need to work on this! I shall be trying more angles in the weeks to come - at least now I have simplified my 'equipment' it isn't such a nightmare to set up.

My Christmas Cracker is not the same as the other 'square' ones I posted - this one is hexagonal... as hexagons are so popular...

I also use the Stampin' Trimmer and Simply Scored.

I am now also offering Gift Vouchers and a Wish List service - you give me your wish list - give your friends and family my contact details and I will allocate the money they wish to spend to items on your list. I will e-mail them a 'Voucher' they can enclose with your Birthday or Christmas card saying what they have paid for or contributed to.

Now for the Video - Hope you enjoy it!
