Concertina Camera

I have used the Tonic Studios Concertina dies to make this camera.

I have made 14 concertina pockets. I then made a box to house these pockets. I then made two smaller boxes to make the lens and then cut numerous circles and then wrapped a narrow strip of card around them before attaching it to the camera. I made the flowers using die cuts cut with a Cheery Lynn die. I added the clasps using brads and then embellished the camera with lace and flat backed pearls. I added the inserts into the pockets and used a strip of card to make a handle.

There is a great video on You Tube to help you make one of these.

Bauble Christmas

This is my project for the challenge at craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper 

Every year I say I am going to start my Christmas cards earlier. This year I was determined to start in September............so here is the first one!

I have matt and layered the top and bottom of my 8x8in easel card with patterned paper and plain red card. I die cut the baubles using a Spellbinders nesting set.

I embossed the baubles with a Creative Expressions embossing folder. I die cut the poinsettia with a Tattered Lace set. I attached satin ribbon down my card where the two papers meet. I added a panel across the base of the card using foam pads so this would act as the stopper for the top. I added die cut ovals to the base that I cut with dies from a Presscut nesting set, I will add a personalised sentiment to the ovals. I attached narrow gold ribbon from the baubles to the top of my card and then completed my card with flat backed pearls.

Wedding Guest Book

I love making these books. It was lovely to hear the comments about it on the weekend.

I have used the first set of Memory Book dies from Tonic Studios.

The books are easy to make but time consuming obviously depending on how elaborate you wish to make them. On this occasion I have stuck to two colours, the colour scheme of the wedding.

I have used elements that I have also used on other items.

Wedding cake exploding box

I made a an exploding box with white card. Firstly I have cut a piece of white card 28.5cm x 28.5cm

I scored the card at 9.5cm and 19cm on all sides. Resulting in 9 squares measuring 9.5cm by 9.5cm. I then cut the corner square off each side leaving you with 4 squares in a + shape.

I matt and layered the panels with lilac and then white card. I made the wedding cake using nesting die cut circles and strips of card. I decorated the cake with lace, ribbon and flowers. I printed personalised sentiments and die cut them with a die from a set from "The Works" and added them to the panels of the box.

I have made a lid for the box using white card. I have cut a piece of white card in a square measuring 14cmx14cm then scored at 2cm  on all sides. I cut a small slit in the corner and then cut a small notch before sticking the corners together with PVA glue. I then attached lilac card on all sides, a die cut circle with a LOVE die cut. This was cut with another die from "The Works". I completed this with flowers from my local artificial floral supplies.
