I thought I would use my Crafter's Companion 

Vintage Xmas Embossing folder and make a card.

This is what I came up with !

I had to use those snowflakes again .......

I used them a lot last year and they have been sat in the drawer

all this time so they needed using again !!!

The Folder is Vintage Holly and wow I have to say

it embosses so beautifully !

I used Centura Pearl with a hint of silver card for the card

and all the layers.

The Holly is Die'sire Holly die . I coloured it with

Peeled Paint distress ink.

The sentiment is one I got from a show years ago on the £1 stall

so I have no idea now of the make sorry ......

The poinsettia is from the BeBunni Xmas CD.

The curve and flag are both Spellbinder dies.

This was so quick to make !

Infact I made it in the time it took my small

daughter to be bathed !

Happy Crafting !

O' Christmas Tree

Over at the Christmas Card Club Sylvie challenged us to .....

The Holly is from the Die'sire Holly die, Poinsettias I made 

from the BeBunni CD and sentiment is from

Gingerbread Twist CD from Polka Doodles !

Oh and of course I had to add some gems and glitter!

Birthday time

Its my OH birthday and I made him a card.

This is an envelope card, you can see the insert

under the card in the pic above.

I find male cards so hard to make .............. 

I know it has flowers on, but he likes flowers !

This is the back of the card. You could cover it with

another piece if you wanted but I like it left like this !

The folding makes it like this.

I have a tutorial HERE on how to make it

The insert is a piece of paper cut to size and then

another matted and layered on top.

I chose to cut it so the pattern was  on the layer.

Of course I had to get the glitter glue out !!!

So I glittered the edges of the insert and the flowers and butterfly.

Papers, dies and sentiment and leaves are all from Heartfelt Creations.

Flowers are from WOC.

Hope you like it !

Right we are off to Whitby for fish and chips !

Yum !!! 

Happy crafting

Photo Cube

Ooh its Heartfelt Wednesday at last !!! 

I have been wanting to share this for a few weeks now !!

Remember those plastic photo cubes our

Grandparents had sat on the side with our photos in ???

Well ...... this is my take on one of those !

And these photos are of my Grandparents !

All photos are from 1940 and earlier !!

I love old photos !!!

Pop on over to the Heartfelt Creations and 

check out the inspiration over there !

Click on the pic below

This is photo heavy as there are so many sides to my project !!

Here is the top.

You could of course have a photo on it !!

To make this cube I have a tutorial HERE

then all you need to do is decorate !!!

 

This would make a great gift.

I wish my Grandma was here she would have loved this !

She was always very encouraging on anything I made 

and saved everything !!! 

Its interesting looking back at my makes !!

To make this I used the following:

459222 Paper Blossoms Tools

452255 Grand Calibur

HCD 750 Cut Mat Create die

HCD 749 Cut Mat Create die

HCD 751 Cut Mat Create die

HCD 752 Cut Mat Create die

HCD 742 Majestic Blooms die

HCPC 3578 Majestic Morning background.

HCDP1 245 Cut, Mat, Create paper collection

Other Products Used : Beads, Peeled Paint and Victorian Velvet ink,

3D glue, All Purpose glue, Kraft and Brown card, tea dye ink, photos.

I have a tutorial on how to make the cube HERE

Ink all the edges with Tea dye ink.

Using the brown card die cut four of the rectangles using HCD 749. 

Using HCD 750 die cut four photos and adhere to the brown die cuts.

Using the brown card cut a square using HCD 751 and then using 

Kraft card cut the square from HCD 752 and adhere to the brown

die cut. Die cut four leaf swirls from HCD 751 and colour with ink.

Die cut eight leaf swirls from HCD 750 and colour with inks. Stamp,

cut, shape, colour the flowers and add the beads and glitter.

Adhere the photos to the sides of the box and the square to the top

using 3D glue. Adhere the leaves and flowers and your project is complete.

Photo Cube Tutorial

Here is a photographic tutorial on how I made this photo cube.

Much nicer I think than those plastic 70's ones !!! hehe

I made this for my DT work for Heartfelt Creations

Using the 3 3/4" x 2 3/4" rectangle from HCD 750 dies,

die cut four photographs.

The ones I chose are 1940 and earlier so they are in sepia.

Hence my choice of Kraft card and brown card

so that the photos are set off !

Using the 4" x 3" die from HCD 749 die set,

die cut four pieces of card.

Mat and layer the photos onto the card using 

3D foam pads.

Cut two pieces of card 5 1/2" x 7" to make the sides of the box.

Cut two pieces 5 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Using the square pieces of card,

score 1" around each side of each piece.

Cut a triangle out of each corner to make a flap

which will be glued to the side to make the box base.

Fold the score lines and adhere the corners to make your box base.

Do this to both square pieces of card.

Using the two rectangle pieces of card

score at 3 1/4" and 6 1/2"

Adhere one of the box bases to the side within the score line

of the middle section.

Do the same with the other box base at the other

end of the sides of the cube.

Now glue the small flap to the box base's

Using the other side piece adhere the small flap

to the box bases in the opposite direction to the other.

Adhere the sides down.

Your cube is now formed!

NOW ........... I forgot this bit as I was making it so

you have to imagine I  have inked the edges in the rest of the photos !!
I know ............ but its so easy to do !!!

So........... Ink all the edges using tea dye distress inks!!

Adhere the photos to the sides of the cube using 3D glue.

Using the dies from HCD 752 and 751 die cut

the larger in brown card and the smaller in Kraft.

Adhere together using 3D foam pads.

I love 3D glue, look how it holds its shape.

Adhere the sqaures to the cube with 3D glue.

Now all you need to do is decorate !!!

I used Majestic Morning flowers and the leaf swirls from

HCD 750 and HCD 751.

The leaf swirls I inked using Peeled Paint Distress inks.

For the flowers I used Victorian Velvet distress ink,

and clear glass beads for the centres.

 

Any questions please ask !!

Happy crafting.
