Reinforced pen storage box Sun 17 Mar 19

Hi Crazy Crew I'm back again,

Today I'm making a box to store my pens in.  I'm sure like me you've got loads of different colouring mediums.  I have too many to count lol,  So I needed a box to store some of the pens and pencils I have sitting around in.  When I decided what the best way to store them was I thought I might as well make a video of it in the hope it might inspire you to make some for yourself.

So here we go!

What I used

Craft sensations pad Pink Baroque (from the Range)
Tattered Lace oval dies

Measurements

4 sheets 12 x 10 card (I used pinks and grays to match my craft room)
Score Ls at 2 and 7
Score SS at 2, 4, 6 and 8
2 pieces of 4 1/8 x 8 for the handles (I wish I'd used 3 of these as my pens are quite heavy and it would have made the handles a bit stronger)

That's it folks make sure you check out my youtube video for more instructions.

Making cards Magazine free gifts and stash up Sun 10 March 19

Hi there Crazy Crew,

I know it's Sunday and it should be a Christmas card but I'vediverted slightly lol.  I found this magazine gift when I was tidying and realised I hadn't used it so of I went!  Serious fun was had using this kit as it was so cute!!!  Anyway the Unicorn images where quite large so more suited to large cards, so I opened my box of card bases and got out my 6x6, 8x8 and A5 card bases.  I did use a couple of 5x5 and A6 ones as well. 

All together I made a total of 14 cards including one shaker!  I have so many cards ready for the charity shop I sure hope they love them like I do.

Anyway enough blethering from me here's the pics of the cards I made.  I used the free topper, papers and stamps from Making Cards Magazine Feb 2019.

Hope you like
