Make a Box to fit Scentsy Wax Bar. 12 Weeks of Crafty Christmas Makes: Week 9. Using Stampin' Up! Products

Hello,
I hope you are surviving the madness that is this black friday weekend? Perhaps even indulging in a little crafting to keep you sane ;-) This evening I have this weeks 12 Weeks of Crafty Christmas Makes video to share with you. When I designed this series of projects I knew I would need boxes to gift some Scentsy Wax Bars in (and I'm sure many of you out there also love Scentsy too) so I set out to design a box to hold one wax bar. The thing for me that was really important was to design a box that uses just one sheet of A4 card, or one sheet of 8.5" x 11" card for those visiting from the US, and that's what I did, lets see....

This was the first box I made using the Sleigh Ride Edgelits in a Pool Party, Pink Pirouette and Smoky Slate colourway. Notice the straight sentiment? I purchased the clear mount stamps and gently teased the sentiment into a straighter line before stamping.

And here are the boxes I made on the video. These are Smoky Slate with Silver Glimmer trees and Soft Sky sentiments.

 They each fit in one wax bar. Here you can see at the bottom of the boxes the inches version had to have a  slightly different assembly method to accommodate the 8.5" x 11" card from the US. But don't worry! All is explained in the video!

 So please, let me share the video with you now...

And here are the measurements for those who like written figures in addition to the video:

Tuesday Tutorial: C6 File Folder Video to store your cards in using Stampin' Up! Products

Hello,

I'm a bit late today as I had work this evening then when I got home I was having a play with some of the features I recently discovered for fiddling with your videos on YouTube!! I'm quite pleased with these little changes so remember to keep an eye out for new, fun things in this weeks tutorial!

So, let's get onto the project I'm sharing with you today. I first designed these File Folders for standard C6 or half A4 cards about 3 years ago for a class but recently remembered it again and thought you might like to see how to make them too? 

I made the files with the new In Colours Tip Top Taupe and Cucumber Crush card.

 and decorated them using Cherry on Top DSP 

Front and back of the files

 I left the sides plain (the same as I did on the notecard files) so they would sit flush next to each other on my shelf

 These are quite  a bit larger than the notecard files see...

Ok, enough with the pictures already! Lets see the Video!

I hope you enjoyed this video and if you have a go at making these boxes please remember to share them with me here, I love to see! 

Thanks as ever for visiting tonight,

6"x6" Boxelope Video Tutorial using Stampin' up! Supplies.

Hello,

Yesterday I re-made this video and I managed to get it edited all by myself! Thanks, of course, must go to my hubby for teaching me how to do it but (as basic as it is) I can now do this :-)

So, Here is the boxelope I designed for your larger, thicker cards made using the Diagonal Plate (which is on offer in the weekly deals for just £8.25 'till the 16th June, bonus!) and I also used the envelope punch board to make it a bit easier too.

This Boxelope is 6"x6"x1". Take a look at these two I have made. 

The one on the left is made with DSP and the right hand one is made from card. They can both be glued or tied closed but obviously the card one is better for actual posting ;-)

 Nice and deep for special cards!

 I added an image to the front of this to decorate. 

I think another plain card panel would be a fab way to add the recipients name and address ;-)

 Love this new stamp set from the new catty. It' called You're Sublime and can be found on page 45. 

 Here is the DSP version. I originally designed this envelope for my Mum's birthday card which had this lovely flower on it. You can find the video for making the flower HERE :-)

 OK, so here is the video for the Boxelope Video for you with a sneak peek at tomorrow's card too ;-)...

Well, I hope you enjoyed this video?

I'll be back tomorrow with the card in the video but 'till then,

Saturday Sharing - A New Video Tutorial - A5 Mini Milk Carton using Stampin' Up! supplies

Hello and Happy Saturday to you!

I managed to make this little video for you yesterday after chatting on a thread on facebook about homemade Milk Cartons. I mentioned I had designed an A4 and an A5 version some years ago for a class. You may have seen I made a video for the A4 one I uploaded a few weeks ago (Find that HERE) and so I went ahead and made another one for the A5 version too :-)

I used the new hostess stamp set A Whole lot of Lovely which can be found on page 179 of the new catty and made both a Mint Macaron and a Smoky Slate version, take a look...

 This little flower is in the set as well as the sentiment. I stamped it all over the amazing NEW Whisper White THICK cardstock!! Swoon! I already love this stuff :-)

OK, so here is a closer look at the Mint Macaron version...

 I added another new product: Blushing Bride Sequin Trim

And here is the Smoky Slate version you see me make in the video..

 Here I added (more new) Silver sequin trim tied with Smoky Slate thick twine to the top.

I think it's pretty safe to assume there's going to be a lot of "New" going on round here in the next few weeks and months..... lol!

 And a top view for you. The sentiment is perfectly sized to be cut out using the circles framelits :-) Did you notice the lush silver thread under the sentiment? 

That can now be found on Page 159 of the new catty. 

 and just for size reference here are the A4 and A5 cartons next to each other :-)

Right, lets get on with the video shall we???

and finally, a few more photos to finish today.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed today's bonus video and have a go at making these cute little cartons :-)

If you want to get a hold of this stamp set for free then why not consider joining my NEW Stamp club starting in just a couple of weeks. More details can be found HERE.

Thanks for looking today.
