Treat Holder...by Vicky Sheridan

 This week I've been making a simple treat holder.   Hope you like it!

 

Core'dinations Adirondack Peach Bellini

Prima 6 x 6 Paper Pad - Romantique

Prima Cottage Blossoms

Ribbon and twine

This week I'm sharing a treat holder idea I came across on the internet.  The tutorial I saw used one of those mega die cutting machine, but my way is a lot chepaer!

1.  First you need to create 2 oval templates.  I used MS Word to create my first oval shape, roughly14 x 19 cm, and thent the second, slightly smaller template 13 x 17cm.  Print onto scrap card and cut out.

2.  Create  an oval of cardstock using the largest template, this will form the treat holder body.  Distress the edges to reveal the white core and ink the edges with a white ink pad.

3.  Use the smaller template to make an oval of patterned paper, adhere to the cardstock oval leaving a narrow border. 

4.  Find the centre of the oval and score at 1cm from each side of the centre line. 

5.  Insert your bag of treats and secure with twine.  Then decorate with a tag , ribbon and a flower to finish.

a Christmas box...by Alix

Hello again Bubblers...

alix here again with another Christmas project!  This time a Christmas box...handy for giving a little gift or two...or as I've done for storing your Christmas recipes!

 

Ingredients:

Christmas papers by Echo Park

Stickles

Ranger paint dabber

a box...mine was a Twynings tea container ;0)

 

Method:

Cut up your chosen papers into pieces just smaller than every side of your box and adhere with glue.  When the glue has dried...add a generous dabbing of paint all along the edges and dry with a heat gun to emphasise the texture.  {If you don't get enough texture the first time...add more paint and heat gently again.}

 

Embellish all the sides {the top of the box is shown below} with the matching stickers from the set...and add spots of Stickles for extra sparkle.  Leave this to dry.

Now, you could leave your box as it is and use it as a gift box...or you could use the leftover pp's and stickers from the kit to create recipe cards to go inside as i've done...

And there you have it...a simple but pretty and useful idea to get your Christmas prep underway!

Big crafty hugs,

Alix

Presentation Boxes....By Carol Fox

 

This week I have made a really quick and easy little box. I sometimes find it very relaxing to make nice easy little projects that are quick to make as its good sometimes to look back over an evening of crafting and see lots of completed projects. If I could make cards I would do them, but as my cards suck I stick to these instead. To see all the details look HERE.

box of delights...by alix

Hello Bubblies!

Apologies for the delay to today's posting...i've been making with a migraine...not the smartest idea in the book!!

What i've created for you is an altered ribbon storage box...but don't be put off if you're not a ribbon lover...this style of storage works really well for bakers' twine, garden twine and reels of wire too :0) 

Ingredients:

Paint Dabber in Black

Tim Holtz Fragments

Prima Melody Collection

Glossy Accents

Chipboard letters

e~line flowers

Ribbon box blank

Micro beads

Method:

Paint the ribbon box and 4 of the larger flowers with the black paint Dabber and set aside to dry.

Decide which fragments you want to use and adhere them to the Melody pp's with the Glossy Accents...just like we did for last week's necklace.  Cut these out and arrange with tiny mosaic tiles on the lid of the box...and glue down with more Glosssy Accents.  Add the flowers to the larger fragments and top each one with a mosaic tile.

Fill the middle space with letters to spell out your name or other word...and fill the gaps with Glossy Accents...then cover in microbeads.  When dry tip the excess beads away and fill your ribbon box with an assortment of your most used threads/ribbons or twines.
