Tealights for Two

Hello, and welcome!


OK, so I may just have become a tiny bit obsessed with Lemon Lime Twist!
It’s going to be retiring as an In-Colour at the end of May, so the time that I have left to play with it is limited and I’m making the most of it!
Today I’ve made a little box with a fold-over lid, pizza box style.  I made it to fit two tea lights, and to help me get the size right I made myself a calculator. 

(If you want a copy you can download it from here).

Here's how I put the box together - 


Even with the spreadsheet to help me, I managed to make a mistake.  When I measured my tea lights, I measured one, added a bit on for “ease” and then doubled the length measurement to fit two.  That made my box a bit too long – not the end of the world, I grant you.  I SHOULD have doubled the length and THEN added on the ease for a perfect fit.  You live and learn!

Did you notice that I'm using up the left-overs from the card I marbled with shaving foam?    Couldn't waste it, could I?

That's it for today - thanks for visiting and hope to see you soon!

It's impossible!

Hello and welcome!  

Today I am sharing this rather clever box.  It looks as if it's in two parts - a base and a lid - but in fact it's all in one.

It's a new style to me, but it seems to have been around for some time - and I just HAD to find out how to make one!  I did some research, and found that, with a bit of careful measurement and burnishing of creases, it was quite straightforward to make


Here's the video-



I used the full width of a piece of 12 x 12 card, using a  separate joining strip to pull it all together.  Here's the folding/cutting diagram  -


And here's what I used!

Mini Milk Carton

Hello, and welcome!

As I'm writing this, summer seems a long way away. It's pretty cold here - well, by our standards of cold.  Even though this morning's sunrise was glorious (this was the view from my window today) it's still chilly!

So today I thought I'd make something using this gorgeous paper.

It makes me think of days in the summer sun.

Here's the tutorial -


Hope you enjoyed.

Keep crafting,
