Happy Birthday

With all the excitement about the new Occasions catalogue, and Saleabration, some of the sets from the annual catalogue have gone by the wayside.

My dad's birthday is next week, and I wasn't really getting inspired by any of the new sets, so I decided to break out one of my favourite sets from the annual catalogue.

I absolutely love the simplicity of The Wilderness Awaits. The images are crisp and clear, and look amazing either coloured, or, like I did here- just stamped on the card.

The stag was stamped on Crumb Cake using Chocolate Chip ink, and was layered on Dapper Denim and then placed on Subtle Suede.  I decided it needed a little something else, and used the leaves from the free Saleabration kit Avant Garden. They were stamped in Versamark and then the Happy Birthday sentiment (from another Saleabration set- Designer Tee) was stamped in Chocolate chip.

Quick and easy card, already on its way to my dad.

If you'd like information about how to get FREE stamp sets and other goodies, please contact me. During Saleabration, you are eligible for a FREE item from the Saleabration catalogue for every $60 you spend!

Happy crafting!

12 Crafts of Christmas day 10- twist and close box

Image
 Today's project is a fun twist (ha!) on a gift box. While it looks challenging, it's really quite simple to put together, and all you need is cardstock, patterned paper, adhesive, a ruler and stylus or scoring tool. Trim 1/2 inch from your cardstock so you're left with an 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 piece. Score on the long edge at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2, and 10 inches. Score the short side at 2 1/2 inches, flip, and score the other side at 2 1/2 inches.  Mark one side as shown 1 1/4 inches from each score line, and score from the mark to the bottom corner. Fold and burnish to crease.  Cut the bottom of the box as shown to the bottom score line. Discard the small tab at the bottom.  Cut your patterned paper to 4 3/4 x 2 1/4. Run adhesive along the side and connect the two edges. Apply adhesive on the bottom edges and seal the box. Working from one side, pinch the top closed, and your box is done!  Check out the video here. Check out all of our projects as the 12 days continue here...
