Cara Craft Supplies Monthly Projects!!
October 2006 - Sarah's Projects!
Project 1 - Christmas trees on green.
Materials:
Craft Box Basics (scissors, 3d foam pads and sticky tape!)
C6 Green Card Blank
Mulberry Xmas Trees – 3 colours
Red satin ribbon
Silver A4 card
Large circle punch
Green Bazzill card stock
Merry Christmas peel off
Directions: Take the card blank and cut 2cm from the top of the card. Punch out a circle from the green bazzill and the silver card – cut the bazzill circle in half and glue the two halves to the back of the silver circle, so that the edges of the green circle overlap the silver. Glue centrally to the card blank. Using the dark green trees as a base, cut the other two trees into parts of one third and two thirds (see picture). Layer the tree pieces using sticky foam pads. Decorate with small peel off stars or circles from any peel off waste you might have. Glue onto the silver circle.
Take the 2cm green piece of card and cut a small rectangle big enough to take the “Merry Christmas” peel off. Place a 2cm rectangle unto a slightly larger silver rectangle. Next, glue down a strip of 3mm red ribbon on top of the green rectangle. On top of this, attach a 2nd green rectangle with the " Merry Christmas" peel off on top. Attach the ribbon to the inside of the card blank using double sided sticky tape.
To finish, add a blank or printed insert of your choice inside the card (These might be a bit time consuming but give your card a really professional finish).
Project 2 - Funky Red Christmas Party Dress.

Materials:
Craft Box Basics (scissors, 3d foam pads and sticky tape!)
Silver A4 card
Papers of the World - Red or Embossed Red Paper with Hearts
White marabou Feather
Mini Snowflake Punch
Directions: Right click on the template below and click " Save as" to save onto your computer. Next, print it off onto a piece of scrap paper or card and cut the dress shape out. Place the dress template on a sheet of folded A4 card. Using the fold line as the top of the card, trace around the template and cut out to give a dress shaped card. Cover with some of the handmade paper pack. Use silver peel off waste (this a great way to save money!) to embellish the neckline and hem of the dress. Cut a small rectangle from silver card and decorate with more peel off waste and 2 punched snowflakes (I used a sheet of glossy card from some biscuits!). Attach a piece of marabou feather to the back of the silver rectangle and using foam spacers, stick to the front of the dress card. Add a silver Xmas greeting if desired.

Materials:
Craft Box Basics (scissors, 3d foam pads and sticky tape!)
White textured square card blank
Gold A4 Card
Papers of the World - Red
White marabou Feather
Round Metallic Brads
Bazzill " Raisin" Cardstock or similar
Gold Button - from Grab Bag or similar
Small Tag Punch, White Mulberry Trees, Metallic Brads, Button, Black Card, White A4 textured Card, Black Card.
Directions: Cut a strip of textured handmade red paper to make a border down the left hand side of the square card blank. Glue 3 white Mulberry trees to the border strip and decorate with 2 metallic brads. Using the same handmade paper, glue the boot template to the paper and cut around. Cover the heel part of the boot with a strip of Bazzill “Raisin” cardstock and trim to shape. Cut a Marabou feather in half and stick to the top of the boot on the reverse to make a fluffy edge. Embellish with a button from the gold grab bag. Cut a 10 by 5 cm rectangle from the bazzill card and layer a white triangle across the bottom left hand corner. Layer whole rectangle onto handmade paper rectangle, slightly larger than black/grey card (see picture). Cut 2 small tag shapes from gold card and write Xmas message onto them. Attach with gold brad to top right hand corner. Embellish card with peel offs as liked.
