Hello its monday again and my planned blog for the weekend didn't get finished so today you have this blog instead one which i originally started back in April!. I had been busy making boxes not just because I love making boxes but because I wanted to give my sister a practical present. As a new mum remembering birthdays and having to mess around wrapping presents can be made easier I thought to myself as I was making some boxes. So I decided to make a range of sizes and colours so she could simply pop her gift into a little box and know she had a collection of cards ready to go at a moment's notice. Now to make my boxes I used a pillow box die. These are available by so many companies and range from about £10 up. I did use my silhouette for couple of the boxes but to be honest I headed to one of my favourite blogs Pootles Papercraft. Now I really recommend you check out Sam's web page to see her videos. What's great about this last is its full of box and card demonstrations using lovely Stampin Up products. Just click the link below. With a simple score board boxes become easy and a pleasure to make as well. I did also make a card as well. Wow was this hard. I knew I'd seen a stand up card somewhere but I didn't really know what I was doing. Basically it's an xcut layer set cut in smaller sizes to get the three layers. I will admit that I'm not 100% happy with this so at some point I will go back and retry a card like this.
Thank you for reading haveva lovely day xxxxx
