Mini Tic Tac Box And All My Onstage Swaps!

Mini Tic Tac Boxes And Onstage Swaps!

I was looking for something to package into a swap for our Stampin' Up Onstage demonstrator event and these mini Tic Tac boxes are so sweet. I love anything mini! 

I matched up the card colours with the tic tac boxes. I used Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral and Pumpkin Pie.

Here is my You Tube Tutorial showing how I made them.

You can see all the lovely swaps I received at Onstage too!

I created the little labels using the Tabs For Everything stamp set and the 3/4 inch circle punch. Both of these are on the retiring list to make way for new items. Hop over to my shop to buy now if you'd like these as they are whilst stocks last.

I didn't swap all of my swaps this time, as I was lucky enough to be selected as a volunteer at registration at the event 😀 

 Some of the team getting ready to welcome 600 demonstrators!!

Look at all those gorgeous convention bags waiting to be given out, full of goodies!

I did manage to swap a lot of my boxes and got some gorgeous swaps in return. You can see those in the You Tube video!

The inspiration for my boxes came from the Paper Pixie who posted a You Tube video showing how to make them last year. You can see that here and I have also added the link to the video description box. Do check her out.

We had an amazing time at Onstage! Just one of the perks of being a demonstrator. We got a copy of the new catalogue that is coming out in June too! Do check out all the products that are retiring to make way for new as they are only whilst stocks last. You can see them here under Last Chance Products.

The new Spring Summer catalogue is still in full swing and is full of beautiful, fresh, spring colours and is stuffed full of everything you need for your papercrafting.  Do let me know if you would like a copy wont you!

I am of course, very grateful if you choose me to be your demonstrator and you shop with me. If you shop with me online, don't forget to use the hostess code if your order is between £20 - £150 for a small gift from me.

Botanical Butterfly Fun Mini Album - Saleabration Sunday

 Botanical Butterfly Fun Mini Album

Saleabration Sunday

Thanks for joining me for Saleabration Sunday, bringing you a new project every Sunday throughout Saleabration.

A few years ago I learned how to make these mini accordion albums. They are quick, easy and fun to make and I remember at the time I made loads of them. I wanted to have another go so I pulled out the Botanical Butterfly papers from Saleabration.  

Here is my You Tube Tutorial showing how I made it

I really hope you like the video, please give me a thumbs up and subscribe if you do. I'd love to hear if you liked it or if you had a go so do leave me a comment. Don't forget to click the little bell for notification of future videos. The dimensions of the papers are further down.

Each little page takes just one 6 x 6 piece of paper. You need very little supplies. Just decide how many pages will be in your album. I made 6.

I popped some holiday photo's in this one. These would make great gifts too as a little brag book. Put in some photo's of the children, give it to granny or a family member and they can keep it in a handbag ready to show off the grandchildren. Perfect for Mothers Day.It could be for any occasion though. Baby, wedding, holiday, a trip. Just change up the papers and decorate as you please!

Dimensions

Botanical Butterfly Papers. Six pieces at 6" x 6"

Highland Heather Card for the hinges. Five pieces at 2" x 2"

Highland Heather Card for the apertures. Six pieces at 3" x 3"

Highland Heather Card for the cover. Two pieces at 3 1/4 " x 3 1/4'

Botanical Butterfly Paper for the cover. Two pieces at 3" x 3"

All the products I've used are listed at the bottom of the post and are available in my online shop, including the Botanical Butterfly papers that are free with Saleabration.

You can see exactly how it's made in the video. It really is very simple and is a matter of folding. The only thing is, once you've made one, they can be quite addictive to make.

I decorated mine using the ever so useful Well Written Dies, some card scraps and some of the White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon.

Here are all the products I have used to make the album with clickable links to my online shop

Easter Bunny Treat Holder

Scalloped Tag Topper Punch

How cute is this little treat holder! It holds a small Lindt Easter bunny. Can you see them peeping out?  So easy and simple to make using the Scalloped Tag Topper punch.There are so many uses for this punch apart from the obvious one of making tags.

It's so easy to make and great for giving out treats, as Easter table favours or to give to your friends. I used the pretty Botanical Butterflies Papers and the Paper from the Painted Seasons Bundle. All free from Saleabration! 

Here is my You Tube video showing how I made them.

Country Floral Embossing Folder - Sponging Technique Saleabration Sunday!

Country Floral Embossing Folder

Sponging Technique

Thanks for joining me for Saleabration Sunday, bringing you a new project every Sunday throughout Saleabration.

 You can Shop Saleabration here.

The Country Floral Embossing Folder is gorgeous! It's so detailed. 

I had the effect in mind that I wanted to create as soon as I saw it, the raised impression to have a little white. Just enough to give a soft blue/white effect. A little like Wedgewood Pottery. 

I tried a few different techniques to achieve the look I wanted and what worked best was a simple yet effective sponging technique. 

You can see my You Tube Tutorial here showing how it's done. I hope you enjoy it.
