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.

FUN FOLD BIRTHDAY CARD

I created this 'Fun Fold Birthday' card using regular 65lb cardstock.  It measures  4 1/4'' x  5  1/2'' and fits nicely in a standard A2 envelope.  The background papers are from a Graphic 45 kit called Autumn Greetings.

The ephemera used is from my kit called 'Gone Fishing'.

HARVEST Z-fold CARD

 

I created this Z-fold Card out of regular 65lb weight cardstock.  When extended it measures  5 1/2'' x  9'' but folds up nicely into a  5 1/2'' x  5 1/2'' envelope.  

Close up of the pumpkin patch with scarecrow.  The ephemera is from Etsy designer Laurie Furnell.  The kit is called 'Fall'.  I brought the images into Photoshop Elements for sizing then ran them through Brother's Scan-n-Cut.

 

This is the back with a large space for sentiment.

SUNFLOWER SHAKER GIFT BOX

I created this Sunflower Shaker Gift Box using standard 65lb cardstock.  The measurements for the box I got from Julie at 'The Paper Pixie'.  It measures  3 1/2" x  6 1/2'' x  1''. 

I designed the sunflower by using images found on Creative Fabrica website.  The wood panel paper also came from there.  I brought it into Photoshop Elements for sizing.  The 2'' plastic dome used to make the glitter shaker is from Amazon.

                                                           Fill it up with a fun treat.  I did make an error by gluing the top tabs in my video.  So please watch for the part where I corrected that.

HALLOWEEN ACCORDION CARD

I originally saw an 'Accordion Style Card' tutorial made by Stampin' Up Rep Lisa Curio last year.  It has become one of my favorites.  The card measures 5 1/2'' x  16'' when fully extended.

I was inspired to make a Halloween themed card because of a great digital kit by Touky Designs called 'Spooky Nightmares' sold on Etsy.  This is the front cover.

This is the back cover.  The background papers are from a Graphic 45 kit called 'Charmed'.
