TWIST-n-POP CARD


     This is my 'New Years' Twist-n-Pop card.  It measures 4"x 6" and is shown here with a matching belly band.


     Basic card is made by following the directions from a video by Collette Mitrega.  You can see that HERE.  


     This is the inside of the card.  I chose digital kit 'Celebrate Life' by Snickerdoodle Designs to create the various panels.  You can find that kit HERE.


     The four Pop-Out panels were designed on panels measuring  2 1/2" x  3 1/2"  and then cut down to  2 3/8" x  3 3/8" to fit sections on card.  The card front measures about 3 1/2" x  5 1/2".  Both were printed on glossy photo paper.


     Front and back covers are designed on 4" x  6"  panels and then cut down to fit card base.  Printed on Stampin' Up card stock.  I burnished all the edges with Distress Ink Black Soot by Tim Holtz.


     Belly band measures about 1 1/2" x 10 1/2" and was printed using glossy photo paper.  Again, the edges were burnished with Black Soot.

   

                                   Various sized butterflies from kit measure 1 1/2" to 3".

ALTERED TISSUE BOX






     This altered tissue box measures 4 1/4" wide x 4 3/4" tall with the ends measuring 4 1/4" x 4 1/4".  I chose digital kit 'Celebrate Life' by Snickerdoodle Designs because of all the great journaling cards.  You can get that kit HERE.



     I began by making panels with the measurements from above.  After cutting them all out, I burnished the edges with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. 



     I painted the edges with Gesso.  Let it dry and then painted with black water based paint.



                                 I made a template for the top by tracing around the edges.




   
                                                         Here are the other three sides.



                                                              Thanks for stopping by...

ALTERED TISSUES BOX



     Just getting over a cold.  I thought my tissue box was too boring.  So I altered it!  This box measures 4 1/4" wide x 4 3/4" tall with ends measuring 4 1/4" x 4 1/4".



     I made panels using the above measurements.  I chose a digital kit by Snickerdoodle Designs called 'Winters Frost'.  You can find that kit HERE

.

     I made a template for the top by removing the pull tab and tracing around the edges.


                          I burnished all the edges with Brocade Blue ink from Stampin' Up.




                                                  These are the other three panels.
