Exploding box for candle in a tin using Stampin Up and stash.

Hi there folks, Jacqui back again with another project for you.

Today I've made an exploding box that holds a scented candle in a tin.  These are pretty and expensive looking so they make a perfect gift, especially coming up to year end for teachers farewell gifts.

The first one I made using some 12 x 12 card and card from my stash, that I purchased at the range.  It's also got some glimmer card that makes the paper stand out and gives it that expensive bling look.

The second one I made using 12 x 12 black card and the retiring Petal Passions papers from Stampin Up.  I've added white glimmer paper as my bling layer on this one and it's what the flower is made of too.

Stampin Up Items Used

Petal Passions papers
Touches of  Texture stamps
Sunshine and Rainbows stamps
White Glimmer Paper
Blue Myths and Magic Glimmer Paper
Scallop Circle Punch 1 3/8

I really hope you like my creation and give it a go it's well worth it.  

Till next time

Stampin Up Touches of Texture Series Project 3 and Sunshine Wishes dies from Stampin Up

Hi Everyone

Jacqui back again with another tutorial for you.  For todays creation I made a top fold/tent card.  This was a pretty quick project but it's so pretty too.

For this project I used the stamp from Touches of Texture all over and then ran it through my ebosser in a free embossing folder.  I cut my flower from the inside of my layer of Glimmer Paper as it can be expensive and then put my stamped section over the top.  Once I added the flower from Sunshine Wishes dies I cut my word out 4 times in black with stick it on it.  I only meant to cut 3 in black and one in glimmer paper lol.  After layering them all on top of each other I put some Imagination Crafts glitter on the top.  It came out ok but next time I'd use the Glimmer Paper.

Black Card for base 11 1/2 x 4 1/8 scored at 5 3/4

Tutorial 4 Stampin up Stash up using Rainbow builder dies etc

Hi there guys and gals Jacqui back with tutorial no 4!  I think I'm getting the hang of it, yay lol!  Anyway I've done another stash up which means I've used Stampin up and my stash to create this project..  I think it's pretty useful to show you how to get more mileage out of something.  And we can't afford everything all the time so I hope this shows you how to use what you have in your stash with Stampin up purchases.

The pink card is my prototype and the blue one is the tutorial I got half way through yesterday before I made a massive boo boo lol.  So todays tutorial is yet another version and it's green and would be great for a babys birthday so this will be card no 4 I've made with the Rainbow builder Thinlets so I hope I've given you a few ideas.  I think the next time I use it will be on a box as I have a gift idea for a baby in mind.  

But onto the project itself.  

All measurements are in inches.  My card base is 5 3/4 x 8 1/4 scored at 4 1/8.  The next layer is green glimmer paper from Stampin Up Myths and Magic 3 7/8 x 5 1/2.  And the white layer is 3 5/8 x 5 1/4.  I used the Rainbow builder cloud dies on two bits of white card and I ran them through a second time to make them longer.  I then embossed them and the white layer with a swirly embossing folder just to give them definition.  I then used Tumbled glass distress ink around all the edges.  I lay the clouds across the white layer to decide where I wanted them to sit then I turned them over and cut them down to the white layer size.  This meant I still had a green glimmer paper border all the way round.  I used foam tape to add them to the layer and then stuck it to the glimmer paper.  I cut the rainbow out in four shades of green and turned them over to position them, then I put sticky tape on the back to hold them together.  After that I put foam tape on and positioned it where I wanted it go.  The sun die came from an old sizzix die set.  I cut the small cloud from the Rainbow builder set in white glimmer paper and added it.  The celebrate die comes as a free set which you can choose if you spend £90 in Stampin Ups Sale a bration promotion.  These are the Celebrate you thinlets.  I cut the word out twice in white and once in green glimmer paper and layered them on top of each other.  And that's my 4th project tutorial complete.  I do hope you love it and would love you to subscribe to my channel JMC Creates on youtube

Card making Day

I've been a magpie today!!!

Today i've been playing with shiny stuff lol!  I got some new stampin up dies and stamps yesterday so I had a play day today and here's some of the stuff I used.  You can get full details at end of post.  I do love a bit of shine don't you?  Or am I the only magpie I wonder? Hmmm I think not lol!

Yesterday I made my first card in ages as I've been doing 3d projects for the local charity shop.  I got new stamps and dies from Stampin up and I couldn't wait to play!!!

I created this beautiful rainbow card first and it put me in the mood for colour and shine.  For this one I used the new rainbow builder framelits.

Today I got my foils out and using stick it and double sided tape I created the following cards.

 For this one I put some stick in onto some card and die cut it with a Tattered Lace background die.  I then used some gold foil and some myths and magic glimmer paper for the layers.  The love is from Stampin up Sunshine Wishes dies.  The Banner is a homebase die.  

The heart one is some silver foil on card with stick it and coloured in lines with Spectrum Noir pens.  The heart die is a Sue Wilson cut out of white card and the foil is behind on foam tope.  The hugs die is cut from Stampin Up Lovely Words Thinlets.

(The card bases are all 5 3/4 x 4 1/8)

For the next card I put some double sided sticky tape diagonally across the card and lifted one section of at a time and put some scraps of foil in different colours over it.  The Celebrate and you are from the Celebrate You Thinlets which is free when you spend £90 or more during Sale a bration.  The butterfly is from the Sunshine wishes dies and I used a navy blue layer. For the pink one I cut out the dies from some foil on card scraps and decided what way I wanted them to look.  Next I stamped the you from the amazing you stamp set (free with £45 spend during Sale a bration) in silver embossing powder, I then put the top section about 2/3 of the way down into an embossing folder and ran it through my ebosser. After that all I had to do was stick the die cuts down and layer on some gold card. 

So I hope you like my first cards in ages if you want any supplies or have any questions please contact me at jacquirobinson6@gmail.com

A Mini re-inforced pizza box using Stampin up and stash

Hi there guys, gals and crafting pals it's SNOWING :) 

Before I tell you about my project I thought I'd take a minute to let you know what I do with my creations.  Once a fortnight my husband will take me to our local B&M and the pound store.  I pick up lots of little items and sweets to use for my projects.  Then once a month or so my husband takes all of them to our local animal charity.  They really love getting them and apparently they sell well.  In fact they know him by name now and love to see him coming, unfortunately I have health issues so don't leave the house much and have never met them.  But at least I know I  do something worthwhile with the stuff I make.  Anyway onwards and upwards as they say.

Here's a little box I made using the following:

Stampin up Sweet Soiree DSP

Stampin up Myths and Magic glimmer paper
Sue Wilson bow die
Card & a gem from my stash

This is a tiny little pizza box and as you can see holds a little flower bath bomb.

Here's the measurements I used in case you want to re-create it.

The base is just card from my stash and measures 8 7/8 x 5 1/2

Score landscape or long side at 3/4, 1 1/2, 4, 4 3/4, 7 3/8 and 8 1/8.

One side is an 1/8th of an inch bigger to allow for the re-inforced sides and will be the lid.

Then score portrait or the short side at 3/4, 1 1/2, 4, and 4 3/4.

Simply score and wedge remembering that the sides are re-inforced so in each corner section the 3 outside squares will be cut away and then wedge the last one.  Repeat in all four corners.  For the back section cut away the outside square and wedge the inside one. 

I put my Sweet Soiree Dsp on while the project was flat and used another Sue Wilson die from my stash to cut out a bit of the Myths and Magic glimmer paper as the green is a perfect match for the green in the paper.  I used a Spectrum Noir to colour my gem to match.

So I do hope you like my project and come back for some more till next time 

Jacqui over and out!
