Exploding Box

Exploding Boxes have become very popular to give as an alternative for a card. They can contain a small gift or even be used at Christmas instead of Crackers containing a small item.

Exploding Box with a difference

This project is assembled in a similar way to the other exploding box but with a variation to make it look like a basket when opened. Could be ideal for Easter as small chocolate eggs could be placed inside.

Bookatrix Mother's Day Card

Using the Keepsake Bookatrix board, I think this is quite an effective card for Mother's Day

Maze Book

This little book can be useful for so many things. Depending on the embellishments used, it can cover a multitude of occasions or just a keepsake gift. It looks more complicated to do than it actually is.

Fans

Something a little different to a card. A tag can be added at the base of the fan for the sentiment.

Arty Farty Colin the Car

I think this is one of my favorite templates of all.

It is more time consuming to make but I love the results.

There are another couple of examples at the end of the demonstraton.

Mini Frame Album

This is one of my favouite projects at the moment. I first saw this idea in Sept.2007 Scrapbook Inspirations, just about the time the Bigz Frames were released in Britain. Anita Muntz had used the plain frame, but as soon as I saw the Decorative Rectangle, I knew this was the frame for me! It's a great way of using up all those little scraps that we all hoard and makes a great gift for someone special. It doesn't take long to construct once all the pieces are assembled, and is a therapeutic thing to do when watching T.V.

Sympathy Card

Let someone know you're thinking of them in difficult times.

By cutting the cross & the text in the same colour card, makes this design simple but effective.

This card uses the Ellison Cross #2 die. This die is very versatile & can be used for Sympathy, Easter, Weddings & Christenings.

Star Book

This is a Memory Book with a difference, when stood up and folded out it looks just like a Star! A lovely keepsake to make for yourself or give to a loved one.

Bind it all boxes

Here are some more boxes I have made using my Bind It All. I have to say that this is one of my most used pieces of equipment. I did wonder when I had it how much I would actually use it but there isn't a week goes by that it's not used for something. It is so versatile on so many levels.

Also included are a set of desk tidies and a tissue box cover all using the same techniques with the Bind it All.

I hope you like my new creations.
