'Happy New Year 2019' - card

#celebrate #2019 #gold

Hey everyone! So this year has just flown by! Here's a card I made for the new year celebrations. I actually used papers from a Christmas collection to make this card.


For the base of the card I used a 6 x 4 1/4 inch white notecard. Then I cut a 6 x 2 3/8 inch rectangle out of black cardstock and a  6 x 2 1/4 inch rectangle out of white cardstock and adhered them such that the white piece was centred on the black piece using double-sided tape.  

Next, using some patterned paper I cut a 6 x 2 1/8 inch rectangle. Then I stamped the sentiment 'celebrate' on the centre of the patterned paper rectangle using versamark ink. Then I used some white embossing powder an heat set the sentiment. Then I adhered this rectangle to the centre of the black and white rectangles. Then I adhered this to the centre of the notecard.


To finish I stamped the sentiment 'happy new year' just under the middle rectangles and added some white pearls.

I will update this post with the list of materials I used soon.

Happy New Year from Melbourne, Australia! 
And happy papercrafting!

Explosion box (4 inch cube) - tutorial

#explosion box #tutorial Hey everyone, so in the past I've been asked by quite a few people about how I make my explosion boxes, especially the dimensions I use. I usually make explosion boxed with 3 layers, so that is the one I will be showing you step by step how to make. For the basic structure you will need: 12 x 12 inch cardstock (outer layer) 11 1/2 x 11 1/2 inch cardstock (middle layer) 11 x 11 inch cardstock (inner most layer) 7 1/16 x 7 1/16 inch cardstock (lid) 1) For each of the 'layers' you need to score at 4 inches from the edge of the cardstock. 2) Now you will need to cut off the four corner squares for each layer (note these cutouts should be 4 x 4 inches). Layers: Score along the solid lines; Cut along the dashed lines 3) For the lid you will need to score at 1 1/2 inches from the edge of the cardstock, the four corners squares should be 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches (note the centre square is 4 1/16 x 4 1/16 inches, this extra 1/16 of an in

'Anniversary flowers' - card

#HappyAnniversary #Love #Foil Hello paper crafters! Hope all is well. Mini hiatus on the blog posting, playing a bit of catch up on my crafts and studies. I thought I’d share a card that is quite simplistic and elegant. I think it’s perfect for an anniversary or wedding card. *** For this card, I used a white 5 1/4 inch square notecard for the base of the card. I cut a 5 1/8 inch square piece from some plain white cardstock to form the panel of the card. To give this card a bit of dimension, I decided that I should add a thin piece of foam to the back of the panel. I cut a foam piece down to a 5 inch square and adhered it to the back of the panel. Next, I cut a strip of grey cardstock with a width of 3/4 inches. Make sure the length of the strip of grey cardstock is at least 5 1/8 inches. I also a strip of vellum to a width of 1 1/2 inches with a length of 7 inches. To create the sentiment I stuck some double-sided tape on the back of some white cardstock and the

'To know you is to love you' - card

#NativeBreeze #FauxStitching #AustralianFlora Hi all, here's my first papercraft post for 2020. Yes, it's already pretty much 1/4 of the way through the year, but better late than never! So on a recent trip to Kaisercraft, I saw the 'Native Breeze' collection and thought I just had to have it; it's gorgeous! It really showcases the beauty of Australian flora! I only used one patterned paper sheet of the project, but I definitely will be scrapbooking with this paper (hopefully soon)! *** First I cut out an 8 1/4 x 5 7/8 inch piece of black cardstock, scored along the middle at 4 1/8 inches and folded it in half to create a notecard that is 5 7/8 x 4 1/8 inches. Then I cut a white piece of cardstock to 5 7/8 x 3 3/4 inches, this will become the front panel of the card. Finally cut out a piece of patterned paper to 5 7/8 x 2 inches. Next step; using dies. I used a die-cut a bird sitting on a branch from some white cardstock. Then I created some faux
