Tuesday Tutorial on SSS

Handbag Card/ Box
I cannot claim this handbag idea as mine have seen it on several blogs/web pages etc but don't know who had the original idea.. Interestingly a friend a teacher who trained with me in the 70's used this idea for teaching a maths project many years ago.
This is the completed project, I have not done a step by step this time as it is an easy project and fairly self explanatory. I used stampin up papers and rubber stamp, but you could use digital papers and stamps.

Back of the box

Side view

As you can see there is no cutting on the 12 by 12 sheet of card.
Step one- score the card into 9 equal squares .
Step two- in the four corner panels score from the edge to middle square you can see this on the picture below.
Step three- in the two middle edge panels marked the mid point and then score from this point to both the middle panel joining edges, you can see that in the picture.
Step four- fold all the score line and using a scoring tool re-enforce well.

Step five-The panels are all cut in the same way slightly smaller and adhere to the base card.

Step six -Cut a further piece of matching card 4 by 6 inches and turn the 12 by 12 over to plain side and adhere the card to the middle outside panel, to create a flap. Cover this flap with a matching paper rectangle, skip the middle panel and then adhere a paper square to the outside middle panel.

Step seven - use a Velcro dot as the closure

Step eight- if you want a ribbon handle punch a hole at each end of the flap and thread through the holes and tie a bow.

As you can see in the picture the card folds up into the correct shape fairly easily. I do hope these instructions are clear leave a message on my blog here if you want any help to complete the project. Do give it a go, once you have made one you will see how easy it is.

Recipe
One 12 by 12 piece of card
Piece of 4 by 6 matching card
Two sheets of matching papers or 1 and half sheets of double sided paper
24 inches of matching ribbon
Velcro dot
Glue of choice
Embellishments to match
Usual tools
Have a good week. Hugs Bee

My card for the day on Scrapbook stamp Society

This is my card for today, I am using a Digi Stamp called My Little Cook By Sherri Baldy found here

It is a standard 5 by 5 card using Craft work card's paper and basic pink card

I coloured the image with pro markers using satin and putty on the clothes with dusky pink accent. The skin is vanilla with saffron highlights and blush for the cheeks. The hair is sandstone and tan.

Project for Latinas in America Blog Challenge

This is a box we made at craft group, I really enjoyed making it, thanks for the great inspiration and getting the boxes.

It was originally a Christmas gift for someone but when I added the quote, I knew it was going to stay with me.

The papers used are Stampin up, I love this paper pack and have tried to stretch it as far as I can but the sheets are going down.

The flowers are rolled roses, I made, and the frame is Tim Holtz with one of his tickets put in.

The quote is from Hamlet, and the image is two digital ones merged and reduced in size and coloured with pro markers.

I have entered this project for challenge at latinasenamerica.blogspot.co.uk/ project using lace.

Thanks for looking

Tuesday Tutorial for Scrapbook Stamping Society

I cannot claim this album idea is mine have seen it on several blogs/web pages etc but don't know who had the original idea. The image is from here will be putting more of the images on.

Recipe
One 12 by 12 piece of card
Two sheets of matching papers
Glue of choice
Embellishments to match
Usual tools

Fold the 12 by 12 in half, horizontally and vertically use a bone folder for good creases

Then from corner to corner both ways

You with then need to cut from the outside edge to the middle once.

Then fold up the card in concertina fashion, this is what you will end up with.

Take the 12 by 12 paper and fold on the horizontal and vertical.

Trim about an 8th of an inch from each of the edge while it is folded finishing with the folded edges. (You may want to trim a little more off it is personal taste)

Then cut the squares in half, and stick to the album.

You will need to be aware of the pattern layout if you have used a similar paper design to me.

You can see this in the picture above.

This is the album with the papers on both sides

These are the journal cards and the corner holders for them, I had these cut out already from a cutting file, but you could easily make them using a triangle and edging punch.

This is the inside of the album. It's really easy to do, so have a go, if you leave a comment here when you have made one, I will come and look which I will really enjoy. I will be posting a male version later in the week here.

TIOT Challenge So very British my DT offering

TIOT challenge here
Sorry some of the pictures are not too good we had some sunshine and so reflections on the card. Tried to do a KISS (keep it simple sweetie) card, so only used one stamp and two sheets of paper, a small cutout from another piece and and a piece of card. The card base is folded for an easel card.
