Christmas Notelet Holder

Todays project is cased from  a fellow demo in New Zealand you can find her set at yellowbear stamping i love notelet holders and had to have ago so here is my take on it hope you like it Paula.

you will need a full sheet of DSP to make the notelet folder.

1. Score your DSP at 1 7/8″, 5 3/4″, 6 1/4″.Turn 90˙ and score at 2 1/2″ and 8 1/4″.
2. Fold and burnish  score lines.
3. Fold each corner in at 1 7/8″ line to form a triangle see template at the bottom of the post.
4. Refold the 1 7/8″ and 10 1/8″ inwards
5. Turn the DSP over and horizontal score lines towards the centre.
6. Tuck the bottom panel under the top flap and burnish.
7. Fold the centre   to make your case.
8. The notelets are 7″ x 5″ scored at 3 1/2″

Origami Box

This is a very easy fun box to make would look fabulous made in Christmas papers.

I have made this one from a 12″ x 12″ piece of cardstock.

4 peice of card stock cut to 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″

1 peice of DSP cut to 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″

4 peice of DSP cut to 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″

Score at 3″, 6″, 9″, on both side to give you 16 square on your card.

next fold you card on the diagonal on both corners

Next bring the botton corner up to meet the square at the top so you have 4 square all round and fold do this on all 4 sides.

Now fold the corner squares in and fold do this on all 4 cornersThen add tape or glue and stick the 4 corners down.

cut your 4 small squares of card stock and DSP in half to make tringles.

Then glue them to gether and add to your folded cardstock.Add red tape to the 4 tringles just on the left hand side.

push and stick them together one at a time

Then cut away the coner it is easer to do this one corner at a time.

punch a hole in between eah of the 4 tringles and then add some ribbon and draw them togter to make the box.

Christmas Gingerbread Man

How cute is this little gingerbread man i just love him. But on the other hand the background stamp did not jump out at me  from the new Winter cataloque I only got it because I need it for a team project but then once i got it and started to play with it I am in Love with it you can do so much with it you can buy it as a bundle and the die cuts out every image so you can make lots of tags and card topper in one go.

I made this card on a 5″x7″ card base.

The Real Red base layer is cut to 6 1/2″ x 4 1/2″

Crumb cake layer is 6 1/4 x 4 1/4 i then stamped the background image in vermark and added white embossing powder.

The Gingerbread man was stamped onto crumb cake card in vermark and then i had clear embossing powder then i punched him out and add the red bow tie.

I punched the Real Red circle i used the starburst punch but you could used the 2″ circle one.

The band is cut from a 6 1/2′ x 1 1/4′ real red card stock and a 6 1/2″ x 1′ crumb cake cards stock I then stamped merry christmas in real red ink.

I stuck everything down flat apart from the Gingerbread man which I raised up with foam pads .

Pootles Retreat Team Swaps

I am lucky enough to a Pootle team member so got to go on the team retreat to Manchester at the weekend so much fun learn so much from the team and got to make some fantastic project.

One of the things we do is make a small swap for everyone and this was mine,it a small clay owl christmas decoration.

They are super easy to make kids love to make them . I used air dry clay which i rolled out and cut a circle with a cookie cutter then stamped the owl onto the clay and then i put a hole in the top for the ribbon to go through.

I left them to dry for a couple of days the filed the back and side with a nail file to make sure there was no ruff edges then added the ribbon.

All Hearts Come Home

This was one of my Favorite stamp set from Stampin Up! last Christmas, I was so pleased when it made it in to the annual catalogue this year.

I was digging around in my store cuboard and found some MDF hearts and as soon as i saw them I new i had to make this.

The MDF heart is 4 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ aprox

I cut down a peice if Night of navy card stock down to 5″ x 5″ for the background layer.

I then but a thin lay of PVA glue all over the frount of the heart and layed the card stock over the top and then i used a nail file to rub away the extra card stock to give me a nice finish to the heart.

Next i cut out the house with the Hometown Greeting edgelits set,i then layed the church on the heart to see where i wanted the moon and stars to go ,i then stamped them in versmark and added embossing podwer. Before sticking my village down with foam pads i added the sentiment stamp and add glitter to the tops of the houses.
