More Cards In A Box

At card club last week I showed them how to make the Card in a Box. I cheated a bit and took the ones I was going to make all cut out ready so I only had to put them together. This is the first one, using Mixed Bunch and Flower Shop stamp sets, with the addition of a butterfly from Papillon Potpourri. and Label Love for the sentiment.

The second one is very similar, but just used Flower Shop for the flowers. The leaves for both  were cut using the owl builder punch.

The last one that night used non SU papers and an assortment of butterfliees from Papillon Potpourri and Best of Butterflies. The leaves were cut with Secret Garden framelits.

And here are all the ones I have made together except for the black and red one HERE, which has already been sent.

Right you can relax now - I don't intend making any more --- at least for a while!!

Dynamic Duos - Mixed Bunch

The challenge this week on Dynamic Duos is to use Melon Mambo and Island Indigo.

I decided to use the Mixed Bunch stamp set and make a one layer card. But when I'd finished decided it looked better mounted.

It's not the best of photos as I had to take it on the windowsill in order to get enough light. I'll be glad when the days get a bit brighter!

Cardstock: Whisper white, Island indigo, Naturald white
Ink pads: melon mambo, Island indigo
Stamp sets: Mixed Bunch, Curly Cute

A Mini Maze Book

I saw one of these demonstrated a couple of weeks ago and decided I would like to have a go - and they are really easy to make out of one sheet of double sided paper. There are lots of demos on how to make them on You Tube and the web.

I intended to showcase some of the products from the new summer mini but I ended up using lots and lots of products from the mini and main catty!! It's also not the easiest thing to photograph to show you .This is the front and the following are some of the inside elements.

The last two pictures show the album opened out . Where there is a square missing is because I stuck two squares together to make the back cover and hold the ribbon in place. Now for the list of items used:

I also used the large scallop circle from the Spring mini which is not available now but do hope it makes it into next year's catalogue.

I think I should have called this "see how many different things you can use in one project!" LOL.

Hope you've enjoyed looking and come back again soon!
