Hi everyone, As soon as I saw this paper titled 'Dash Away' from the  Santa's workshop Paper Collection  I knew I was going to make an advent calendar. Now there is no good way to blog how I made this project, so I'm going to have to refer you to the process video (link below). Step 1 - Make the pockets The pockets were made out of Kraft card stock that measured 5" W x 2.75" H. Along the long edge, score at 0.5" and 4.5" Along the short edge, score at 2.25" . You then need to taper the edges as well as cut out a section. Once again, please refer to the process video. As I made each pocket, I adhered the 2" x 2" number to it. Next, I cut out 2 sized of tags to go into the pockets For the larger tag, I rubbed on the aquamarine Inka Gold. I then threaded some metallic gold cord to attach the smaller tag to the larger one. This is how my project is l...

Hi everyone, Im so behind in my Christmas Card making so I thought I'd sit down and churn out a few. This post is also doubling up as my project for the Aussie Youtube Hop December Projects 2018, so that explains what Im talking about in the process video -thank you Aunty Vera :) At the box opening, my eye was drawn to this  Sparkle Clear Stamp Set by Kaisercraft   and I knew I wanted to make Christmas tree embellishments so I sat down to do just that. I reached for my distress oxides in: - Green Clover - Peeled Paint - Peacock Feathers - Candied Apple - Frayed Burlap And stamped a whole lot of trees Next, I fussy cut them out leaving a little bit of a white border. Next, I reached for my fine tip glue applicator bottle and the  Nuvo Pure Sheen Red Circle Confetti   And I begin by adding a dab of glue in this formation And then 'decorating my Xmas tree' like so I completed it for eac...

Hi Everyone, Ive had this pack of milk cartons in my stash for so long now and I had this great idea when I saw this 12" x 12" sheet from the Carta Bella Collection Santa's Workshop. In the back of Santa's manor, Santa has yet another venture he is embarking on and that is, he is going to release a seasonal milk carton just before Christmas. And he's going to call it "Got Milk? *wink*" This is to be his first prototype. I started off by cutting down my carton to half the size so I can preserve the amount of paper I was going to have to use. Now it was time to decorate. I ended up using these 2 papers as they co-ordinated beautifully together. I cut down my papers to measure 3 1/2"W x 7 3/16th H on 2 sides. This was cut down further to 5" H and 2 3/16th H to prevent any problems along the score/fold line. The other 2 sides (the shorter ones) had papers that measured 3 1/2 " W x 5" H. ...

Hello Crafty Friends, I still have a second paper of the Sweetheart Floral 12" x 12" from Carta Bella. I had it sitting next to my planner the other day  And I thought to myself, wouldn't it be awesome if they had a planner with this paper? And then the idea struck!! Why not re-create this exact planner cover using this paper!! I started off by measuring my planner and cut my paper to the following size: - 11.25" W x 8.5" H - Score @5.25" and 6" along the width. Next, the pockets. For this I used black card stock from American Crafts. Cut one large pocket @ 5"W x 6.25"H - Score @ 0.5" and 4.5" along the width - Score @ 5.75" along the height Cut one small pocket @5" W x 4.25"H - Score @ 0.5" and 4.5" along the width - Score @ 3.75" along the height Attach the smaller pockets to the large left hand side pocket and then attach the left poc...
