#onstage2018 Needlepoint Nook samples #6


Well I think this may be nearing the end of my stage samples - but I have created quite a few more and will have some to post to my Pinterest board soon.

This final set is a great way to showcase the gorgeous DSP. It's a set of 6 notecards using Sahara Sand as the base colour and each of the paper designs and this was the final project I presented at Onstage.
One of my favourite things about papercrafting is the willingness of others to share their designs and tutorials and this gorgeous box is CASEd from another designer in the UK but I first saw it when one of my good stamping friends from Central Qld shared it at a team day. (We are different teams but in regional areas sharing and connecting is vital and I love her creative energy- thanks Sharon).









I think it showed up well on the big screen too.




It's not difficult to create, but do the stamping on the base pieces before folding the score lines and assembling. The belly band simply holds it closed.
This box fits the smaller 31/2" x 5' notecards and envelopes
you will get the two lid pieces from one sheet of A4

Project details:
Base piece:
cut one piece 20cm x 24 cm
stamp the side areas first then score
score at 2cm and 5 cm on all four sides
cut flaps down to create box
Hinged Lid Pieces
cut 2 pieces 16cm x 14cm
score along short (14cm sides) at 3 cm
score along one side (16cm side) at 3cm and 6 cm
cut away excess to create flaps for construction of box

and here's a video for the visual construction, but if you google Split Top Box you'll find lots of variations if you are looking for different sizes.

CTC#86 Everyday is a good day to send a card

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night blogshop where we use a section of the Catalogue to inspire this weeks projects. Designers can take a layout, a colour combination, or any element as the starting point to create something new. We invite you to tour around the hop and to join in -after all the Catalogue has so many beautiful samples to inspire us all. If you get lost you'll find the full crew here . You may have arrived from Simone , so welcome. And this week we are really excited to welcome 3 new designers to the team, Krissy, Deb and Kelly  please do leave them a comment and welcome. This week we are using the samples from the Everyday Occasions section (which is a huge section) from pages 66-91. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car...
