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:

Three More Inlaid Die Cutting Cards using Stampin' Up's Sleigh Ride Edgelits

Hello there,
and as promised yesterday I'm here with three more cards that use the inlaid die cutting technique and the Sleigh Ride Edgelits dies. The fabby dies are being retired at the end of this catalogue {or sooner if they sell out} so if you want your very own please order them asap! ;-)
So, I made these samples first as one of my 12 weeks of Crafty Christmas Makes and you may have seen sneak peek of these cards if you watched the video already?! Then I made yesterdays card (HERE) for the tutorial, it was much more traditional looking in Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow but just by changing up the card colours you can make really modern looking cards, let me show you...
Here's the Square design with sequin trim and thick twine

You'll notice the resemblance to yesterdays card here with another oval - except this time the oval is popped up on dimensionals instead of being inlaid into the card front. Change to a silver satin ribbon bow and add silver glimmer stars and you're done!

And a circle version with silver glimmer backing...

 ...but, I know that's an awful lot of glimmer paper for just one card!
So here's my Top Tip: Die cut a glimmer paper circle one size larger than your main panel, then die cut a circle one size smaller than the main panel from the centre of the glimmer and use it for another project ;-)

 So, I hope you have enjoyed these cards I have made using this technique?
To see the video you can pop back to Yesterdays Post :-)

Inlaid Die Cutting with Stampin' Up's Sleigh Ride Edgelits. 12 Weeks of Crafty Christmas Makes 2015 - Week 8.

Hello and welcome to Week 8 of this series.
This week I have a video on how to create cards using the inlaid die cut technique and the Sleigh Ride Edgelits. Last week I made a set of 3 pink and grey cards using this technique and so I decided to go with a more traditional colourway for this video using Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow and Very Vanilla.
I must just say I wasn't happy (at all) with how this card photographed! The dazzling diamonds glitter looks lovely in real life but on the photos it just looks funny and a bit heavy handed where as here it just looks pretty and sparkly! When I make the other two I think I'll skip putting DD on them as I think part of the problem is the dark coloured card!
Any-hooo, let's see the card which was made in the video shall we??

 You can see the die cuts slot in perfectly together.

 And the glitter on cream card just looks nice and subtle... moving on.... ;-)

 So, how about we see the video now...

As I mentioned in the video these are not quick cards to make but they do look lovely when finished don't you think...

 So, I'll be back tomorrow with all THREE of the pink and grey versions so do pop back then!

 *hint* for a sneak peek of them watch the video!
