POP-UP BLOCK CARD

 

               I designed this 'Pop-Up Block Card as a Valentine card.  It measures  4 1/2'' x  5' 1/2'' and folds up to fit in an envelope.  The background papers and ephemera are from a digital kit from Etsy designer Laurie Furnell called 'Love Bug'.

                  

                                    This is the back of card.  Plenty of room for a sentiment.

This 'Accordion Card' measures  5 1/2'' x  16'' when fully extended.  

            This is the front of the card.  The background papers are from Etsy designer 'Forest Backgrounds'.

ALTERED 'NEW YEARS' WOOD BLOCK

 

I designed this 'New Years' decoration using a 4'' x  4'' block of wood.  I painted it with an undercoat of Gesso and covered that with black paint.

The panels are from an old digital kit called 'Holiday Elegance'.  Champagne bottle is from Creative Fabrica on the internet. I glued one inch black beads on the bottom.

               Close up of the shiny stars and garland that I used to decorate the top.

CARD and TREAT BOX

 

I saw a set of instructions from 'Beccy's Place'.  She had designed this as a gift card holder and treat box.  I used her basic card measurements and took off on my own to design a fun 'Sentiment Card and Treat Box' with an acetate window.  Expanded box card  measures  7 1/4'' x  4 3/4'' and box is 1'' deep.

  

Background papers are from Graphic 45's  'Christmas Magic Collection'.  Sentiments are of my own design.  Ephemera flowers are from Etsy designer Laurie Furnell.  Hearts are from a Creative Fabrica kit.

CHRISTMAS EXPLOSION BOX

I was inspired to make this large  4'' x  6'' 'Explosion Box' after seeing a tutorial by Kathy Clement.   She had a great idea of how to make a box of this size and her very clever acetate box in the middle made it just what I was looking for.  The panel measurements are my own.  The background patterned paper is called 'Jingle All The Way'.  It is from an Etsy designer.

 

I decided to make a utility storage box.  Inside I have created panels with matching snowmen.  Behind them I have storage for my gift tags for the Holiday.  The acetate box holds tape, string and scissors.   Snowmen came from a kit called 'Jingle All The Way' by Home Shopping Network.
