Bauble gift for teachers Saturday 1 December 18

Hey there again guys, gals n crafting pals,
I'm back... lol

Today I'm gonna show you a bauble that each of my grandkids gets in there teacher gift bags.  The idea is that they put it on their tree each year and they remember the child and the year they rec'd it.  This original idea comes from Sam at Mixed up Craft in 2017 and hers is a larger version, then someone else did the smaller one (sorry no idea who!) and this is my spin on it.

Measurements in Inches

6 1/2 x 3 3/4

Long and short sides score every 3/4

LS 3/4, 1 1/2, 2 1/4, 3, 3 3/4, 4 1/2, 5 1/4, and 6

SS 3/4, 1 1/2, 2 1/4, 3

On the long side starting at the second square and doing every alternate one mark the centre at the top of the square and score diagonally to each corner of the square.  Repeat on every alternate square and this will leave you four squares with diagonal scores to each corner.  Turn to the opposite side and in the squares directly opposite repeat.  Then cut down every score line on the top and bottom of the long side and completely remove the square directly above your diagonally scored sections.  Make sure all the score lines are removed from the remaining squares.  Choose which side will be top and which will be bottom then in the centre of all of the top squares punch a 3/8 hole.  Burnish all diagonal folds and the bauble shape should become apparent.  Decorate while flat.  Glue sides together then glue bottom with each square fitting directly over the one before.  Put some twine through one of the holes then knot and pull through the rest of the holes from underneath to top.

I printed out my grandkids names and the year and punched them with Stampin Up Classic label punch.  I put a 1/8 inch hole in the end and threaded it onto the bauble.  To finish I added the mini tag die from Stampin Up Swirly snowflakes dies (released Christmas 2017).

Hope you like this awesome project.

Till next time

Handmade Stampin Up Half exploding coffee cup gift box

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

Today we're making a coffee cup gift box with a statement bow!!!

I'm bought some coffee cups and coffee packets to make some projects and this is what I came up with for the coffee cup.

 And this is what it's like inside.  The coffee cup is held securely in place and the top of the box explodes down.

For this one I've used Whisper White card, Foil Frenzy in blue and some Kraft Card.  I used a decorative punch from X cut for the edges of the explosion section.

For this one I've used Black card, Golden Olive Card and the green Foil Frenzy.

The bow for the top of my box is from Tonic Studios.

The Happy Crafters Design Team No 4 27th February 2018 using Garden girl

My Final DT project for the Happy Crafters

Hi again every one Jacqui here with my 4th and final :( project for The Happy Crafters Design Team.  When I started this DT month I was a bit worried as I can't see up close to colour due to cataracts, and the Garden girl stamp set is a great colouring set. But it taught me that colour doesn't have to come from colouring and that we should always play around and use our stamps ANY and EVERY way we can lol.

Anyway for my final project I made another card.  The card base, banner die and silver foil came from my stash.  The Stamp sets, paper and bling are all STAMPIN UP!

These are the Stampin Up supplies I used:

Garden Girl Stamp set              143952

Sweet Soiree Dsp                     145564

Enamel Shapes                        141680

Petal Palette Stamp set            145788

Valetines Project No 4 Fun fold pillow box using Stampin up products and a Ferrero Roche

Tiny Ferrero pillow box

Hi folks i'm back with another tiny project for 1 Ferrero Roche. 

 This time it's an unusual pillow box made by Heidi Smith of FlutterbyHeidi (link below).

This time i've used one of my favourite Stampin up Dsps it's called Foil Frenzy and I hope you can tell how luscious it is from the picture.  And as you can tell it's perfect for a Ferrero Roche, which I think are a great valentine token.

This project only uses a tiny amount of Dsp 5 1/2" x 4".

I also used stampin up dies for the tag and behind the sentiment and I used a punch for the sentiment (details below).
