Box with a loop


Hi, it's Majo on the DT here to share instructions to create a fun little box, which has the advantage that you can use it over and over again, since it's not glued together, just held by the loop.


I started out with two strips of cardstock measuring 2 x 9". I scored them at 1½ and 3½" and applied distress ink in various colours (Bundled Sage, Stormy Sky and Spun Sugar).





I used my Tag punch from Stampin' Up on both sides, this is what it looks like now:


For a bit more texture I stamped the fishing net with "Bundled Sage" Distress Ink on all sides.

I stamped with Ranger Perfect Medium and used the Stampendous "Detailed White" Embossing powder. The images are from the Rubber Dance Stamps sets "Something Fishy" and "New Retro Beach"



I added some Rub Ons.
 

After adhering one strip to the other I made the loop from a piece of Chiffon.



Starting from the inside I pulled the loop through one of the openings and went to the opposite side to do the same followed by the other two.

 

As you can see, this is very easy and you can open and close the smart little box again and again.






You find all the stamps I used right here: Rubber Dance Stamps!

Happy crafting!

Majo

Lovely background, the colours are soft and blended, a great base for the white embossed images.

Altered Chipboard Butterfly + Giveaway

Image
Message in Norwegian : Hvis du foretrekker å lese dette innlegget på norsk, kan du gjøre det og samtidig bli med på giveawayen på den andre bloggen vår ved å klikke her. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with a fun project, using the Totem Monarch Poppet chipboard from EyeConnect Crafts . I had such a blast with this and I hope what I've made will inspire you to make something similar. The difference between the chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and others ones I've seen out there, is that they are made to connect (hence the name). There are two categories, one called Lace-Ups which you bind together using ribbons, string, lace, etcetera and another category of chipboards with smaller holes so you can connect the pieces using tiny eyelets or brads. This is what it looks like. The pieces are laser cut, and you easily remove them from the base - save that part and use it as a stencil for another project. Notice there is also a chipboard of the butterfly's...

CASology Week #202: Masculine (card by Bibi)

Image
Hello everyone! Bibi here today to show you a card I've made for the challenge at CASology, where the theme this week is to make a masculine card. "Heeeelp!", was my first reaction when I saw what their theme was, as I think it's really difficult to make cards for men! In addition, it must of course be CAS (= Clean And Simple), so I really had to step outside of my comfort zone....., but that's the point of a good challenge, isn't it? :-) Anyway, it was a post by  DT Kristiina  (on our Scandinavian blog ) that came to my rescue! If you haven't seen her post , you really should! The text is in Swedish, but there are lots of awesome project photos that speak for themselves. Kristiina had used stamped letters as the only "images" on her cards and I was very impressed by what she made, so I took out my Alphabet Uno stamps  (same as Kristiina had used), and what do you know - they spoke to me right away! Thank you, Kristiina! :-D And here...
