Cantilever Box Revisited–and Tutorial For Sale

 
This is one of the projects we have been busy making during my July Workshops… I think I am now onto my fourth (as the easiest way to demonstrate is to remake another!)…so there are a few more versions to share with you at a later point…

But here is the story behind it….

A long long time ago. I saw a gorgeous and very clever box created by a fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator & fellow Jems’ team member – Sarah Bonsell. Sarah’s tutorial had to be bought, the box had to be made – I added the handles - and the box was shared here on my blog.

Since then it has usually shown in the Top 4 of my most popular blog posts. And my blog has linked up to Sarah’s for anyone to be able to purchase the tutorial. Although little did I know that Sarah now does not sell her tutorial…. but panic not… we have a plan!!

So move on 4 years… I just had to remake the project. And so here it is. This time in the new Lullaby papers and the wonderful new Kraft Cardstock…. perfect for making boxes of all shapes & descriptions.

So thanks again to Sarah for the original creation… and also for allowing me to now re-write and sell the tutorial to share this great project with you. Just £4 (GBP). 

Or - if you live in the UK - the Tutorial can be yours for free with a £20+ Stampin’ Up! order (before P&P). Click here to place a Stampin' Up! order via my Online Store. And then email me after placing your SU! order so that I know to send you a Tutorial rather than my standard gift and card...

So how to order & pay for the Tutorial?
Just select your required option using the Paypal button below and click on Add to Cart. You will then be taken to a new screen showing the amount to pay and to enter your details. Payment can be via Paypal or credit/debit card. And any currency conversion will be dealt with through that process - I will just receive less in a nutshell... 

Cantilever Box Tutorial. Please select your required option.

IMPERIAL (inches) £4.00 GBP METRIC (centimetres) £4.00 GBP

The pdf format Tutorial(s) are being emailed out daily ... but normally allow 48 hours after your payment... then check your Spam folder (or add my email address thecraftspa@gmail.com to ensure it doesn't go to spam!) and then please feel free to email me ... there is sometimes an occasional email that goes astray...

Or if you are local to my York/Harrogate/Wetherby/Thirsk/Easingwold area and would prefer to arrange a workshop with friends to make one – then again please just email me….

And as a final note on this clever box format….. I also have a few more ideas that I am determined to create one day…so I am just waiting for the day!! And then I will have more to share…

Something For Baby Diorama Card

Gosh it seems like a long time since I posted …. 

This was the favourite card in my July classes…. a simple but very effective Diorama card… just making great use of the Something For Baby stamp set with matching Framelits – and the Lullaby papers too – along with a bit of the new Thick Bakers Twine for the washing line…

Though I have to laugh at my photos… the sun was so bright 2 days ago that I couldn’t really see what I was photographing!! Check out those shadows. You don’t see those often in the UK! Maybe I should go back to photographing inside… these photos may shortly be updated!

Project Life & Stampin Up!

I was so happy to be able to order all of the kits this morning… as I know that this way of scrapbooking will be my way!! So I am looking forward to spending the summer finding photos and filling pockets to tell the stories …. and I might even add some stamping too!! Photo organising and creative scrapbooking all at the same time – and in one place…heaven! And hard pack version and digi versions too!

Do remember to contact me on thecraftspa@gmail.com to book or find out about the Project Life workshop series I am running over the next few months..starting in August…. Just £25 for the first session and £10 for follow on sessions – or even for free with SU! product orders….

Go to my earlier blog post here for a run down on the ideology and background to Project Life & Stampin’ Up!

Blendabilities

These exclusive, alcohol-based marker sets come in a 3-pack of light, medium and dark shades (of the same colour), and provide your projects a more saturated look with blended colours. And because traditional alcohol markers require a bit of training, Stampin’ Up! have developed a few videos to ensure that Blendabilities are easy-to-use for everyone! Here is a video of them in action . You can also visit here here to view more videos.

What Sets Them Apart:

• The Stampin' Up! rectangular barrel keeps your markers from rolling away!
• Flat storage helps to maintain the life of each marker.
• Each marker comes with a tip on each end: brush and fine.
• Marker tips are made of nylon, which is superior to polyester which can fray.
• Colour coded caps.
• Stampin' Up! markers coordinate wonderfully with our cardstock, and can be used with transparent sheets … and a whole host of materials!!!

But for me…the biggest advantage over my previous dabbles with alcohol markers are that the colour matching/marker selection for the shades is already done for you… you just buy a pack with the 3 shades of the one colour…simples!…. so much easier… and going to be a whole lot cheaper too…! Love them…. but more on that another day….

Now a word of warning… not all of the colour sets will be available until 1st August…so here is what is! There are another 6 sets to come…
