Another Extended Pillow Box!

Hey all! Yesterday i featured an 'Extended Pillow Box' made out of 'Blushing Bride' cardstock... today i have another 'Extended Pillow Box' to share with you, this one has been created from 'Baja Breeze' card:

Created from two 'Baja Breeze' 'Pillow Boxes' cut out using the 'Pillow Box Die' and the 'big shot', glued in place using 'Red Sticky Tape' and then some 'Twitterpated Fabric' wrapped around the centre'. The butterfly has been created from 'Twitterpated Fabric' mounted onto card and then ran through the 'Big shot' using the 'Beautiful Butterflies Dies', with some 'Basic Pearls' glued on to create the butterflys body. The butterfly has been mounted onto 'Whisper White' and 'Blushing Bride' shapes that have been cut out using the 'Labels Collection Framelits Dies'. (you may have noticed that i have ran the 'Blushing Bride' label through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Perfect Polka dot Embossing Folder' to add some texture!

The great thing about handcrafting is that you can make coordinating boxes and cards. You may have noticed that this box coordinates with the card that i shared at my 'Mini catalogue' launch party/ Scrapbook Crop demo last month:

Blushing Bride Extended Pillow Box

Today i have an 'Extended Pillow Box' to share with you. 'Extended Pillow boxes' are actually really easy to create and are perfect gift boxes - especially for jewellery gifts.

This box has been cleverly made using two 'Pillow Boxes' which i cut out using the 'Pillow Box Die' and my 'Big Shot' from some 'Blushing Bride' cardstock! I glued them together using some 'Red Sticky Tape' and then wrapped some stripy 'Twitterpated Fabric' around the middle to hide the joins!

Next i used the 'Big Shot' and the 'Labels Collection Framelts Die' to cut out some labels using 'Baja Breeze' and 'Whisper White' card. I ran the 'Baja Breeze' label through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder' to add some texture.

I mounted some 'Twitterpated Fabric' onto some cardstock (using 'multipurpose adhesive sheets') and then ran it through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Beautiful Butterflies Die' to create the butterfly, finishing it off by placing some 'Basic Pearls' down the centre of the butterfly!!

Demo-ing at the all day scrapbook crop!

Hey all! What a super busy day i have had! Today me and Jade (a fellow Stampin' Up! demo) demo'd at an all day scrapbook crop in Guildford! We had the priviledge of showing them a range of Stampin' Up! products, including the 'Big Shot', 'Dies', 'Embossing Folders', Stampsets and Punches!

We demo'd the 'Twitterpated Fabric' card that i used at my crafty open house last weekend:

This card features a range of products from the new 'Summer Mini Catalogue', including the 'Framelit Dies', 'Twitterpated Fabric', 'Adorning Accents Embossing Folder', 'Apothecary Art' stampset, 'Bakers Twine', as well as the 'Beautiful Butterflies Die' and the 'Heart Punch' from the main catalogue! This card was very warmly received by the ladies!!

Today i have a card to share with you that also features the 'Twitterpated Fabric': an anniversary card that i made for our two friends Rob and Iwona - it is their anniversary in a couple of days time...

I cut a 'Certainly Celery' cardbase using the 'Large Scallop Die', i embossed this cardbase using the 'Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder'. I placed 'Basic Pearls' in the centre of the flowers. Next i mounted some 'Twitterpated Fabric' onto some card using 'Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets' and then cut the two butterflies out using the 'Beautiful Wings Die' and then placed some 'Basic Pearls in the centre of each of the butterflies! I punched some small hearts out of some 'Red Riding Hood Card' using the 'Owl Punch' and glued them into place. Finally i stamped the sentiment from the 'Teeny Tiny Wishes', punched it out using the 'Word Window' punch and glued it into place. I hope Rob and Iwona like this anniversary rocker card and have a lovely day!

Hello to all the lovely ladies that i met today - i hope you had lots of fun at the crop - it was lovely to see the fab projects that you was all creating and hope you enjoyed viewing mine! If you would like to host a party or make an order please email me for details: amyjtidd@gmail.com

The much 'Twitterpated' Mini Catalogue Card!!

Hey everyone! I have had a completely enjoyable day today, hosting my crafty open house to celebrate the launch of the Summer Mini Catalogue!! I had advertised 11am - 2pm but most of the ladies stayed until 4.30 and we had lots of fun chatting and crafting! Thankyou very much to Poppy, Lucy, Audrey, Suzanne and Jade for making today so much fun!

The card that i provided for my make and take project was designed by the lovely Julie and featured several products from the fab new mini catalogue, including the beautiful (Kath Kidston style) 'Twitterpated Fabric'. So here it is:

On a 'Baja Breeze' cardbase we embossed the lovely hearts from the 'Textured Impressions Embossing Folders: Adorning Accents' - i completely LOVE these folders and they are a welcomed addition to my craft stash!:

Next up we used the 'Big Shot' to cut some 'Blushing Bride' and 'Whisper White' card using the 'Labels Collection Framelit Dies', embossing down the centre with the hearts die!

Next up we created the beautiful fabric butterfly! We mounted some of the 'Twitterpated Fabric' onto some card using 'Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets' and then used the 'Big Shot' and the 'Beautiful Butterflies Die to cut the butterfly out. Before gluing him into place we tied some 'Wisteria Wonder Bakers Twine' around him to create the antennae.

I just love the 'Twitterpated Fabric' - such a beautiful colour combo and i love the idea of using fabric on card - something i intend to do A LOT of in future, here's a close up of the three beautiful designs:

We finished off the card by adding the sentiment from the 'Apothecary Art' stampset (which coordinates with the ''Labels Collection Framelit Dies'):

We inked the sentiment using 'Red Riding Hood' ink and then very cleverly used the 'Heart Punch' to create the unusual sentiment banner - i love a new way of using an old punch!!!

I hope you like this card and it has inspired you to have a peak through the mini catalogue - you will find an electronic versions of this on the righthand side of my blog - let me know if you would like to make an order: amyjtidd@gmail.com
