Cara Craft Supplies Monthly Projects!!   

 

March 2006 - Sarah's Projects!

Hi – My name is Sarah and I live in the west of Ireland between Galway and Ennis - I have lived in Connemara, the Highlands of Scotland and North Wales over the years, although I was born in the North West of England. I love dabbling with all kinds of crafts, although recently cardmaking has taken over most of my free time (and house). I have started scrapping as well.

I’m a mum to baby Aoife, born in August 2006 – the cutest little pickle imaginable. So I’m enjoying the early days with her for now. For the future I hope to find some way of using my crafty pursuits to help me find a niche for some venture that allows me to work from home.

Instructions

  1. Cut your white card stock into the following dimensions:
    6 x 7.5cm squares
    3 x 5cm squares
    2 x 13cm squares

  2. Cut the following from the patterned paper:

    3 x 7.5 cm squares

    3 x 5.4 cm squares

    1 x 8cm square

  3. Stamp and layer the squares as follows:

    • Take 3 of the 7.5cm white squares and cover with the 3 squares of patterned paper.

    • Mount one of the white 5cm squares onto a square of 5.4cm patterned paper with the pink solid side face up and mount onto larger patterned square. Use  a black pen to write “I Love You So Much” onto centre square – embellish with flower sequins.

    • Stamp the Emma stamp with black ink onto 2 of the 5cm white squares. Colour flowers on dress with pink Sakura pen and doodle a freehand border around the edge with a pencil. Mount onto the 5.4 cm patterned squares using the solid pink side face up. Mount stamped layered images onto the patterned squares.

  4. Attach squares to twill ribbon

    • Fold length of twill ribbon in half with the loop at the top.

    • Attach first stamped square 5cm down the length of twill ribbon from the loop – position ribbon centrally on the back of the square and secure with double sided tape.  Mount a square of 7.5 cm white linen card over the back to cover the ribbon.

    • Secure the ends of the ribbon (approx 2.5cm of ribbon) behind the bottom stamped square. Cover ribbon with another square of white linen card.

    • Place the central square with the flower midway along the ribbon between the two others – cover ribbon with linen square.

  5. Make the box

    • Mark and fold 2.5cm in from each edge of one of the 13cm squares of white card. Fold and glue to create the box lid. Glue square of 8cm patterned paper to centre of box lid.

    • Trim 2-3mm off two sides of the second 13cm square and repeat as above to make box base (cutting the mm off allows them to sit snugly inside each other, without warping).

    • Pierce 2 holes in centre of box lid. Thread the piece of 3mm pink satin ribbon through the top loop of the twill ribbon above the first stamped image, then thread through the holes in box lid and tie in a bow.

    • Fold the squares over and sit into box base.
