Cards for October Classes

Image
Hi There Creators, So I'm organised enough that I have next months class cards worked out (woo hoo go me!🤣) Classes are on:  Friday 3rd at 1pm in Laanecoorie & Saturday 4th October 10.30am in Maryborough.  As the 4th also happens to be World Card-Making Day I have permission from the church to use the hall for longer so we can watch it all together.  However, I totally recommend you register here, World Card Making Day registration , regardless of whether you'll be there or you won't be, as you can watch it in retrospect PLUS they did say there'll be gift afterwards for everyone who registers!  If you want to craft along with it you can purchase this kit and make it along with the presenters:  Handmade & Heartfelt Kit      Anyway back to the cards for the month..... First up, I don't think I've used this gorgeous Sunflower 3D embossing folder yet in a class, and Oh my goodness every time I use it, it packs a punch! to see all the goodies ...

Cute Pop-Open Box

 Hi there Creators,

I did a Facebook live video a couple of weeks ago on this cute pop open box, and thought I'd share it here for you too, I've finally got round to uploading it to YouTube today!

Here is the first box I made:

I've used the beautiful Hydrangea Hill designer series paper, then I made this one in the video

I had been scrolling around on the internet and found it but of course it was American and used imperial measurements not metric, so I've converted it to metric - specifically tailored to an A5 sheet.

 


This is my roughly written out instructions that I use, however just in case the markings aren't making enough sense.....

Take your sheet of A5 in landscape, and score it at 1cm and 10cm,

Then in portrait score it 2cm in one side and 2.5cm the other side

On the 2.5cm side you need to cut at 6cm and 16cm (only up to the 2.5cm scored line)

trim off the little bits as shown in the 1cm scored portion

Using a bone folder you'll need to score the diagonal lines then fold everything.  Attach the 1cm flap round to the other side of the box to form a flat tube, then push open the base, and attach it down to form the base of your box (you'll see what I mean in the video!)

The patterned paper I used 9.5cm square, find the 1/2 way mark at the bottom end, and cut from one top corner diagonally to the 1/2 way point, then repeat for the other side and attach it in  place.

Have fun and do show me what you make!

I hope this inspires you to have a go.

God Bless love
