TISSUE BOX COVER TUTORIAL

         Hello, 


    I said I would share to how to make your own Tissue Box Cover on my Facebook this week so here is the tutorial on how :) This Wonderful idea came from a team event I participated in recently , and the talented Diane Inkster - "The Creative Inkster" (thecreativeinkster.blogspot.com) shared this as her project, and I love how it jazzes up my desk, and features my fur kids. You could certainly add a mini calandar to the front, I choose a qoute as I already have a mini desk calandar which I have shared in a previous post :)  

FRONT 

ONE SIDE 

OTHER SIDE 

TOP

BACK SIDE 

Here's what I used for mine but you can change out colors & DSP to your liking. This cover will fit the Square Tissue boxes measuring 4 3/8' wide x 4 3/8' deep x 5 1/8' tall.(Kleenex or No Name Brand) 

 Three 8 1/2' x 11' sheets of Mint Macaron Cardstock. 

 Piece A) Cut 4 measuring: 5” x 5 ½” each.

  Piece B) Cut 1 measuring: 5 ½” x 5 ½”.

  Piece C) Cut 1 about 4 ½” x 4 ½” .

 Scoring: Piece A) With the 5” edge horizontal in your Simply Scored or Paper Trimmer , make a score line at 4 ½” Repeat for all 4 pieces of this size.  

Piece B) Score at ½” on all 4 sides. 

Piece C) No scoring. 

Die cut for the Lid frame. I used a smaller scallop from Scallop Contours Dies. An oval or circle , or any fun design you want will work. 

 Designer Series Paper Piece A) Cut 4 measuring: 4 ¼” x 5 ¼”.

  Piece B) Cut 1 measuring: 4 ¼” x 4 ¼”.


Once you have everything picked out and cut to size we can start to build it. I have made a video to make it much easier to see exactly how to , click on the link https://youtu.be/aGKo1JjlPDk and you will be taken to a YouTube Video and I will walk you thru step by step. I hope you love this project as much as I do, and If you make one please Share and Tag me in a photo I would love to see :)

SALE A BRATION GOODIES CONTINUE

 

        Hello, 


                Are you collecting some of these great items offered during Sale a Bration ? Maybe you are winning some from me for commenting and posting in my #shareitsunday challenge, don't forget to do that, just Tag me, Hashtag #shareitsunday, or send me your photo and I will post for you :) What better way to Share & Connect in the Carrot Bunch Community. I love to give away Prizes, and I might have drawers full just for such an occasion. 


    But let's jump into the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper, Wow!!! loving the Bold Black and Very Vanilla colorings. And the flower patterns are outstanding :) 



take a look

        I feel like spring is in the air everytime i pull out this paper pack to create... if only! As you know Edmonton winters can last well up to 6 months or more, but lets get to some cards created with this paper as the main focus, and see if I can convince you to add it to your DSP hoard, if you haven't already. LOL 


Start off with Catalogue CASES 


this was inspired by a Catty card and I added my twist :)

I love softening up bold patterns with vellum, here just a simple die cut layer creates a focal point but softens it just right. 

This card I loved by Emma Goddard ( coastalcrafter.com) same use of vellum to tone down the pattern just slightly.  


        This week January 22.2022 on my Bailey's & Tea Saturday Live Series on my Facebook Page @ 10:30 am MT we will have a play with how to step up three very different cards to use up this amazing DSP. Hope you'll join me, Chat, Connect and Create along with me. Or watch the replay to make your own cards with the supplies you have. Don't wait to pick up the Daffodil Afternoon DSP today it is only around while supplies last and will be gone Feb.28.2022. If you want to shop my store link is below, every $60 order can choose this DSP for FREE!
