Explosion Photo Box

                   You can make this photo box in no time at all. It is easier than it looks.
                                    I made the flower using the blossom punch.

            It holds 13 photos. Can't wait to decorate the inside and add the pictures.
So many of you have requested the instructions for this cute photo box so here it is.

Measurements for the box

Top layer measures 11 1/2'' square

middle layer is 11 3/4'' square

bottom layer 12'' square (which is the outside of the box)

Score: 4'' in on all three pieces of C/S on all 4 sides.

Fold and cut out all four corners (the outside squares)

Layer and center the three pieces together. I used multipurpose liquid glue.

Add your embellishment's and photos, the box holds 13 pictures

 

 

The lid is 7 1/8'' Square DSP

Score in on all 4 sides 1 1/2'' and fold on score lines

Cut up to the score line on one side and do the same on the opposite side. You will have 4 cut to form 4 flaps or tabs for gluing to form your lid. Make sure to glue the tabs to the inside of the lid. Join me in my next class.

Mini photo album

                      I used a empty CD case to put my mini photo album in.

                                                  Directions for this album

Measurements: 4 5/8'' x 5 1/2''  I used 5 pieces in mine.
Score: on the 5'' mark giving you 1/2'' to make flaps for gluing the pieces together.
Fold and glue all five pieces together (accordion style)
Decorate using your DSP and add your photos.
Hint: Don't add too many layers or the lid won't close. I had to remove one of my bows. Have fun making yours.

Just having fun using my FREE stamp set from SU

 This cute card box was so very easy to make. We will be making one at my next stamp club. Come out and join us. Call to save your spot at my craft table. April 22ND

This is one of my favorite fancy fold cards

 (open view)

I used a big shot die to cut out the middle

 

front view of the card.

Designed by me using all SU products (Ribbon is retired)

                     Stamp sets: Everything Eleanor, Teeny Tiny Wishes and Aviary

                     Embossing Folder: Fancy Fan, and Square Lattice

                     Punch : Word Window

 

I love making these little boxes

This one is made using card stock for the base

and patterned paper for the lid.

I made the rose using the blossom punch.

 

It is called explosion box because it kind of pops open when you remove the lid.
Sometimes I put little notes inside and there is enough room for a small gift.

 

Love Birds

 

    This is the card I made to give my

husband for Valentine's day.

The supplies I used was:

Punches: Bird Builder and the Small heart Stampin'Up punch

Every month a new, surprise project kit arrives at your doorstep. Just think of the anticipation of creating a fun project to pin, showoff, and share with your friends and family-every month!

Of course, you'll want to know more. So here's the nitty gritty:
Each month SU will send you a unique, surprise kit with a project-cards, journals, décor, and more! (They have even color-coordinated, measured, and cut everything for you!)
Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper, and accessories-everything but adhesive.
Each kit gives you a 30-minute creativity escape.
It will be shipped on or around the 15th of the month.
You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month. (Let's say you sign up on May 10th, we'll send your kit around May 15th. If you sign up on May 11th, we'll send your first kit around June 15th.)
A Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!)
There's no commitment, you can cancel your monthly Paper Pumpkin at anytime. You can also skip a month if you want.
Starting in early March, we'll offer a Try-It kit if you'd like to try Paper Pumpkin for one month.

A Free Gift in Your Very First Kit
The Welcome Kit is the very first Paper Pumpkin you will receive in your first month of membership. The Welcome Kit includes a free gift-a clear acrylic block!

Best of 25 Years.....

As part of our 25-year anniversary celebration, we're bringing back some of our favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will release-one set per month-during 2013.

Even better, along with some great classic images, each "Best of" set will also include a never-before-seen image!

 The fun part.....each set comes with a proof of purchase sticker. When you collect 6 stickers, you can select a stamp set of your choice, valued up to $14.95, for FREE!
