Origami box

Hi everyone, welcome!

Today's project is an origami box.  Well, it could be a dish if you didn't bother to make a lid for it. The lid's not compulsory.

You can make these pretty much any size you like just by changing the size of the square of paper you start with.  If you want to make a few of these that nest, the squares need to be 2 inches larger or smaller (so paper that's 8 inches, 10 inches and 12 inches square will make boxes that nest.)  Want to see how it's made?  Here you go -

Thank you for joining us for another Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge! 

We’re so excited to be sharing this hop with you.  The products used are all available in the current Annual, or seasonal, Stampin’ Up!® Catalogues*. 

Simply use the buttons at the bottom of the post to keep hopping.

This time we've been set a colour challenge by Hannah - here are the colours -

I made a card base out of Smoky Slate, picked out re-inkers in the remaining colours and some Glossy White card.  I sprayed the glossy card with water and dropped blogs of ink onto the surface while it was still wet and then - blew on the ink to move it around.  In my days as an Early Years teacher, we used to get the pupils to use drinking straws.  I used the air duster spray you get for cleaning computer components, which was much less like hard work.

Here's the result (embellished with a bit of ribbon and some heat embossing)

There's a YouTube video showing how I did it if you want to see it, visit my channel in a couple of days and it'll be there.  Don't do it now, though, because you really need to see what Hannah has made- click here to go to the 

Or if you're the independent kind and and working your way through the hop from the other end, then visit Jillian at the

Do come back and join me again another day, won't you?  

See you again soon,

Hello and welcome to my blog.

Sometime you need a quick and easy card. This has just a bit of stamping, some layering and a bow - and it's done.

What do you think of this stamp?  It's from the new catalogue (coming soon...)   It's one of the special host sets that you can only get if you either place an order for £150 or you host a workshop where combined orders reach that sum, because then you qualify for Stampin' Rewards, which you can use for anything in the catalogue - including the special sets.

Stampin' Up! demonstrators get to see the catalogues ahead of launch and to order some items too...I can't fault it!

Anyway, if you hop on over to my Youtube channel - there's a link over there on the right - you can see how I made it.

Before I go, I just want to let you know that I'm cutting back slightly on blogging/YouTubing for a while (not much, twice a week - Wednesday and Saturday instead of three times).  It's been a bit hectic lately and I'm feeling the strain.  Once I've had a bit of a breather I'll be step up the rate again, no doubt.  

So - I'll see you again soon!

Crafty Hugs,

Keren
