Mini Pizza Box filled with 3in cards - Online Class 

In this week's class we are using a Stampin' Up! pizza box and making 5 mini cards to go inside. I've made these before in class and they are very popular. THe Pizza box is ready assembled and is great for food gifts as it is totally food safe. 

I will also be showing how to make your own box from a sheet of card. 

Here's a brief photo tutorial 

To make a box from scratch 
1) Cut your paper to 10 inches by 5.5 inches. 
On the short side score at 1 in and 4.5 inches
On the long side score at 1inch, 4.5 inches, 5.5 inches, 9 inches. 


2) Snip the  edges as shown, I make a little indent so that the box folds more easily.  Always make sure you are taking this indent from the edge that will fold into the box. 






3) fold the edges in and glue where I have marked with a G then assemble box. 

4- Cut paper to decorate box. Cardstock mat for top of box  is 3 1/4 in x 3 1/4 in and for the sides 3 pieces cut at 3 1/4 inch x 3/4 inch. 
Patterned paper is 3 in x 3 in for the top and 3 pieces of 3in x 1/2 in for the sides. 

I used some ready bought cards which actually measure 3 inches square so I made mats and layers as below for them.  Then I will decorate with punches or die cut shapes and greetings.

More Bears !

EMBOSSED BABY BEAR This is clearly my favourite stamp set at the moment and I have been trying out lots of different colour combinations and techniques. Here are the finished cards and underneath I have done a step by step photo guide - which is a first for me. The bear is stamped in smoky slate and dapper denim, sponged in marina mist.  Bear is stamped in soft suede and early espresso and sponged with peekaboo peach. Here are my supplies all laid out First I stamped image no 2 of the stamp set on whisper white in pink pirouette. Remember to use your piercing mat or other foam pad underneath any photopolymer stamp sets so you get a good image. Then I stamped image no 3 of the set with melon mambo. It does take a bit of practice to line the stamps up so practice a few times first on scrap paper. I find it best to make sure the bear's bottom and the gap between arms and body are lined up. Then finally use image no 1 and versamark to stamp

Online Class - Making Vellum Cards

Image
Thursday 16th July Today I'll be demonstrating how to make these pretty cards using vellum as a base. 1) Cut your A4 vellum to 10cm wide \nd then score along the long side at 14.9cm , 2) Cut 4 pieces of DSP to 10 cm wide x 7.5 cm long.  Take 2 pieces of paper, put the sides you do not want showing together and trim on the diagonal. TIP - make sure your paper is facing the correct way.   3) Stick the paper to the bottom of the front and back of the card and then add the insides making sure everything aligns nicely. 4) Decorate as required - I have used The Forever Greenery Bundle for the papers and die cuts.
