Something Saturday - Christmas Favours Boxes

Image
  Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show off these little Christmas Favours Boxes.  Rose came to class the other day with one and I forgot to take photos, but I think this is pretty similar, so cute! The link to all the products used can be found here:  Christmas Boxes products used (if you're reading this let me know if this makes it easier to see the products used, I usually put up individual links for everything but thought I'd try something new, and potentially easier!) Anyway onto the photos..... the front: The lift up flap at the front The Back And I wanted to show off the gorgeous little "Low Profile Sparkle Dots", not sure if it really shows up as well as it could I've just realised in all the photos you don't really see the box! That's ironic! so here's one of the box! Right now I can give you the measurements for the box! Really simple: 12cm x 12cm, then score in each side by 4cm. then cut as shown: fold in the flaps and glue togethe...

Cool! watercolour pencils on black card

Hi Creators,
I was thinking about a gorgeous technique I've done before that uses white embossing on black cardstock then you use the aqua painter to add white craft ink to the design, allow it to dry a bit, then add colour over the top, (it's a little time consuming) and I was wondering if I could produce any other ways of colouring on Black card (I'm sure others have done this too, but I haven't noticed it).  So......enter the Watercolor Pencils , yep they're spelt missing the 'u' in the catalogue (it's an American thing!) although its really hard to spell color that way when you're so used to spelling it colour! lol

However moving on if you're a regular reader of my blog you'll notice that in my class this month we're using this technique on this card:
however I decided to make a video on it, and thought I'd use a different set, that doesn't have quite so much to colour in (keep the video shorter).  This next photo shows what I used to make the card, the watercolor pencils, White craft Ink stamp pad,  the Designer Series Paper is the gorgeous Petal Promenade, and the stamp set is Beautiful You
And finally the video itself:
I hope you enjoy it and it inspires you to dig out your black cardstock and watercolour pencils (don't let it get wet on the card, as the colour then sinks into the card, and disappears)
Happy Stampin'
God Bless
Love
