Lillybet's Papers

Welcome to another week with CASEing the Catty as we seek inspiration from pages 8-13 of the new Occasions Catalogue. While I love the Cupcakes and Carousels paper, I am totally in love with the Birthday Blast and Star Blast Edgelits and I was inspired by the box on the bottom of page 11, but I have created a Card in a Box. I had to play around with dimensions a little to get the width for the edgelit, and created a long flat box ("landscape") rather than the conventional taller "Portrait"box. So these dimensions fit neatly into our Crumb Cake Envelopes or you can easily make one to suit- and the beauty is that from one sheet of 12x12 DSP you will get the envelope plus the decorative panels for your card. You can see how neatly it folds flat and slides into the envelope!, And you can see the single bridge adhered to the inside of the box. I stamped the base of the box with the teeny star just like the image in the catalogue.   You need ...

I made this card earlier in the year for a good friend. I just discovered I neglected to post it, and I don't seem to have any directions and measurements recorded anywhere here!! I love the Card in a Box format and this post includes directions and measurements - with thanks to others as I have borrowed pictures from on the web!! There is a lot of cutting and prepping but the effort is worth it. This is a cool video with the basics here How to make a pop up card box tutorial FREE Card Template - YouTube You can decorate each of the panels which are highlighted with one or 2 layers. layers: cut 2 each: 2"     ' x 5 7/8" 1 7/8" x 5 3/4" cut 3 each: 2"       x 2 5/8" 1 7/8" x  2 1/2" 2"       x 3" 1 7/8" x 2 7/8" Happy stamping, Liz

Welcome from Monique's blog  as this week we use our favourite Hostess Set - well that's hard!! They are all super cute,  but if I have to pick fave well it has to be the Pun Intended set. I have used this set extensively for birthdays and father's day and just beecause! This week I have made a little set of 3x3 notecards - since that is the theme of my class this weekend. I am using current colours but making a big effort to use up some of the DSP I have in my stash, so this project uses some Cherry on Top papers. And in the tradition of using up bits on my desk ... a few quick notecards. I love the notecards in both white and crumb cake, they make it a snap to pull a quick notecard together, and at around 50c for the card and envelope they are a great item, make sure you add them to your list!
