Latest crafty endeavours!

Well the creative juices have been flowing in our house today and being that it is the school holidays I have had a very willing assistant.  Today's task was to create as few different samples for upcoming workshops!  I think I have unleashed a demon in the process however.... paper creations everywhere!

Exploding Photo box

Inside the box are a selection of pages to flip forward and back, each containing photos or journalling.

6"x 6" variety boxes

Each of these three boxes are created using the same 6" x 6" card stock!  Just to show you the variety of sizes that can be created when you start with the same size card.

Small accordion photo box

Take off the lid ...

Open the sides to reveal two tabs ...

Pull them out to reveal an accordion photo album in each half!

There will be more coming soon I expect so keep checking back for more!!

Exploding Boxes!

Well I have been slowly preparing another workshop!  It isn't quite ready to test on willing crafters but here is a preview of some of the exploding boxes I have made!

Here is an unexploded, exploding box!  You lift the lid off and ....

The inside pings open to reveal a bunch of flowers.

This exploded box contains a 3D Christmas tree.

I do have a few more ideas for a few other designs so  watch this space and don't forget if you are Dorset  based and wish to book a workshop please don't hesitate to contact me.

Gorgous paper bags!

I love these little bags! the time is coming to make some gifts for my daughters teachers to say thank you! These bags make fantastic presents, especially when filled full of yummy chocolates!!!

These little handbags are slightly different from many tutorials purly as they don't open out to a flat piece of paper, instead these remain a container, perfect for storing all sorts of wonderful treats!

These bags can be made in all sorts of sizes, although beware bigger ones will need strengthening.

Will post pics as soon as I have made the thank you ones! may even post a tutorial if anyone is interested!
