A little birdie told me to!

In an effort to use up some more of my stash

I designed this little folio

using one sheet of 12" x 12" paper (SU).

I filled it with my previously made ATCs

along with some new tags and paperclip pockets

and mini notebook.

Slider Box tutorial

I have a tutorial to share today.

I needed a gift box to hold some cash for

a 50th birthday this month

and I saw a tutorial for a slider box over on

Instagram. It was a much bigger box but

I loved the concept so I re-designed

to suit the size I needed.

The lady's name is Raushan_Willms.

It's a slider box.

So the one I made is just 3" x 3"

and I made it to match the pop up box

card I shared a while ago.

Stash Buster 8

I made this little gift box for a bauble I bought from Etsy

for my Son and Daughter-in-law.

It is a pet one for their tree.

Sadly this last year they lost their two big dogs,

which broke their hearts!

This was Gino and Suki.

So the bauble (flat) arrived in a little plastic bag

and I wanted it to look a bit nicer.

Gift Wallet

I also made this wallet to go along with the

Christening Album I shared on Wednesday.

It has two pockets, one on the inside and one at the back.

I put a mini card in the inside pocket

and money in the back pocket.

The belly band held it all secure.

I used a stamp set called Inspired Events (SU).

The cross was die cut using a spellbinders die

and the papers are old ones from SU.

The little card is from a Memories and more pack called

Bright and Beautiful.

Dressed to Impress

I had a card to make for my sister-in-law's birthday

next month so pulled out a retired set called

Dressed to Impress.

I stamped, die cut and then coloured all the elements

using markers.

I added a piece of scrap to one side, a strip of the green and

a piece of white which I cut with a spellbinders edge die

and slipped another piece of the green underneath.

I cut a bubble square from a set by Lisa Horton,

in green and a smaller one in white for my sentiment.

I used Biggest Wish stamp set in pink ink and added

some white dots when stamped.

All the die cut elements were arranged at the bottom

and I added her name too.

I finished the card off with a bow and some metallic pearls.
