Self Closing Boxes

 

It was our club meeting on Wednesday evening and we made self closing boxes...I found these on Ann's Happy Stampers blog,

The girls made both sizes, the small ones are lovely for Christmas as you can put things like a nail polish, lipstick and small bits of jewellery.

We also used ribbon, mini magnets and velcro dots to close them....

Off to see the grandchildren now...

Sneak peek....

  Having a great time spending time with the grandchildren but my crafting has gone out of the window!   I did snatch a couple of hours to make a start on samples  for August  club night.....so rather than have nothing to post for another week  I'll show you one of my sample cards.  
We are using the Happy Birthday die from  from 'Lil Inkers' and also the girls will be given petals from the Britiannia small Rose die and we aim to make roses, daisies and Fuschia flowers....the fuschia flowers are so easy to make but of course you need a box to put the card in as they dont lie flat.....also on my card I've used a Marianne die and the butterfly is from Stampin Up, leaves stamp is  a Heartfelt Creations one.....

Hope you all have a great weekend....

Club Night.....

How quickly our monthly club night seems to come around only 4 more meetings before Christmas!!
Our projecs this month were   TRIPLE LAYER STAMPING and WHITE ON WHITE EMBOSSING using Cosmic Shimmer ultra fine white embossing powder.

Here are some of my samples for Triple layer stamping:

I used Stampin UP French Foliage stamp set, 4 different coloured ink pads, backing paper is also from S.U.

  Stampin Up Elements of style stamp set and papers

                          

                       Stamps from SU Papaya College set

White on white embossing samples:

 This stamp is an old Stampendous Hydrangea stamp which I've coloured with   Art Quest Stargazers pearlescent paints...backing papers are from LOTV, and  Spellbinders corner dies

 Hero Arts Large Blossom was used on this card, the stamp is a negative one which I thought would be different, stamped onto print papers, and coloured with copics..the white embossing powder covered the print really well...Nestie die frame, SU papers...

Hobby Art scribble flower used on this card...and coloured with pencils...backing papers are from Dovercraft called Garden Party, spellbinders dies, Martha Stewart Butterfly punch....
