No glue, no measure box

Hello everyone!

Welcome to my little bit of the Pootlers Blog Hop – Sale-A-Bration edition!

I am really in love with the Botanical Butterfly papers.  I used one whole sheet for this origami box, which is made with no glue, no measuring and hardly any tools (I just used a bone folder to get a nice sharp fold, but it wasn’t strictly necessary.)  The butterfly is punched from another sheet in the pack.

Fancy trying this yourself?  Here’s the folding diagram –

There will be a tutorial on my YouTube channel in the near future, which I hope will make things a bit clearer! 

Meanwhile, how about continuing around the hop?  There are lots of lovely projects for you, all using stuff you can get for free (such a bargain!) from the Sale-A-Bration promotion so I know you'll find lots of inspiration!

Keep crafting!

Butterfly Tuxedo

Hello and welcome to day's blog post!

It's been a while since I made a Tuxedo card.  I got the inspiration from watching shopping telly, where the pre-made blanks were being sold.  I realised that the cards were basically a variation of the pop-up box card - so I had a go at making my own, and I was very pleased with the result!  (You can see the original here)

Today's version is a little smaller and is slightly different.  It's probably best if I show you the video!

If you'd like the folding/cutting diagram, here it is.

Wouldn't this be a beautiful card for Mothers' Day or a springtime birthday?

And that's it for today!  Thanks for visiting, I do appreciate it!

Keep crafting,

Keren

Butterfly Box

Hello and welcome!

Have you seen the new SU catalogue and Sale-A-Bration brochure yet?  (You can see a digital version by clicking the links at the bottom of this page).  
Today I’ve been playing with some of the beautiful paper that’s you can get for free with a qualifying order.

It’s called Botanical Butterfly and it is so, so pretty.   I used one of the kraft pillow boxes as a template The template is quite sturdy, so I can use it to make boxes this size in any colour I like.  This time I chose Gorgeous Grape, which is - well, gorgeous!  -  and then fussy-cut one of the big butterflies from the DSP. 


Here’s how I made it –

Thanks for visiting my blog.  I'd love it if you came back again, but meanwhile,

Keep crafting!
