TWIST-n-FOLD CARDS

I created these 'Twist-n-Fold Cards' using the basic measurements by Sam Calcott at Mixed Up Craft.  If you would like to make one of your own, I have made a video on You Tube.  You can find that

HERE.

 

      I used cardstock to construct the base of the card. For the flowers I used a flower image and cut them out with my Scan-n-Cut machine.  Also using cardstock.

                                                                       This is the back.

This is a   2 1/2" x  3 1/2"  tag to be tucked inside.  I used eyelash yarn to make fringe.

This second card is made the same way.  I got the fish and cat's tail florals from clip art on the internet.  Then brought them into Photoshop for sizing.  

 

                                                              This is the inside of card.

                                                                   Here's the back.

STORAGE ENVELOPE

I was inspired to create this 'Storage Envelope' after seeing a tutorial by Karon at 'Karon's Krafty Korner'.  You can find the directions HERE.  I used her basic measurements for the Envelope but then went with a more Springtime theme.  The background papers are from a digital kit by 'Nitwit Collections' called 'In The Meadow'.

This is the envelope opened.  It closes with magnetic discs under the little flowers.  The Beehive and the Bees are from clip art on the internet which I brought into Photoshop Elements for sizing.  Edges are burnished with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink by Tim Holtz.

                               

                                     Here's the back.  Envelope measures  4 1/2" x  6 1/2" x  1".

VALENTINE TREAT PURSE

 

I was inspired to create this little 'Valentine Treat Purse' by seeing a tutorial by 'May May Made It'.  You can find that HERE.  I used her measurements for the basic purse but altered the design and made it my own.  It measures 2 1/2" x  5" x  3".

I made templates using Photoshop Elements for the patterned paper by an unknown designer.    For the heart and bright colored cardstock embellishments I used a set of stacking dies from 'In Love Arts'.  They are each attached with pop-ups.

FLORAL BOX

 

I created this 'Floral Box'  using  white cardstock.  Background papers are from a digital kit of polka dots from my stash.  The flowers are attached to a handle that is attached to the removable lid.  Box measures 4" x  4". 

This is a close up of a very mischievous cat hiding among the flowers.  Cat is from clip art on the internet.

Here is the back.  The flowers and bees are also from clip art.  I brought them into Photoshop for coloring and sizing.

CELEBRATE!

 

        This a 'Celebrate!' center piece that I created for the New Year.  It stands 11" high and the base is  2" x  4".   The polka dotted background bottle is made of cardstock as are the other pieces.   I put a block of styrofoam in the bottom  of the box to hold the ephemera pieces.  They are attached to heavy wires. 

This is one side.

This is the back.  As you can see I wanted a full 360 degree center piece.

This is the second side.  

...and there you have it.  Thanks for stopping by...

  

HALLOWEEN MILK CARTON TREAT BOX

I created this 'Halloween Milk Carton Treat Box' based on a great little tutorial by Sherry at 'The Posh Paper Lady'.  You can find that tutorial HERE.  The carton measures 1 1/2'' wide and 6'' tall.  I used 65 lb. weight cardstock.

All four sides are decorated for Halloween.  The patterned papers are from my digital stash. 

The ephemera is from clip art on the net.  I brought them into Photoshop Elements for sizing and coloring.  Some are mounted with dimensionals.  Others are glued on.

Here's the backside.

ROSETTE CHRISTMAS TREE

    

        Another 'Rosette Christmas Tree'.  This one was created the same way as previous tree except that I added extra layers, 14 in all, and the bottom row measures 8''.  The tree is setting on what is the bottom of a bird cage.
