New Cutting Craftorium Magazine 7

Just to let you know the Cutting Craftorium 7 is now available alongside the Pretty and Purposeful 3 USB. I am one of the designers featured we each have 3 Projects featured in this issue, they are Pretty and Purposeful 3 projects which I have altered using canvas, in the magazine it talks you through (with photos) how you can achieve this using canvas.

Coming tomorrow morning on @Createand CraftTV the wonderful Carley Duff is releasing her first signiture collection 'Vintage Folk Art'.

                                              
 The samples I have made are from the USB, I have printed onto acetate as well as onto super smooth cardstock.

Got my copy of the latest Cutting Craftorium (6) magazine today, just a bit proud to be a guest designer having 2 projects included in this month's edition 😊

An Alice inspired box.

This is a gift box I made using  Grey board 750 microns and my craft studio cdrom A Very Important Date. I printed the papers off using a background and figures from the cdrom adding a shadow. After printing I sprayed with inkjet sealant spray and left them to dry thoroughly. The box is from a kit n kaboodle USB it is a tissue box with the insert removed from the lid and then I enlarged the pieces (all done in canvas). I used 4 layers of the 750 micron greyboard using pinflair bookbinding glue, a thin layer is all you need then once glued store under a weight (I used my e-bosser) so it dries nice and flat. after all pieces glued sand the edges ink them then add the printed papers. I did this by gluing a larger piece in place then once dry sand the edges away. once completed and dry I then commenced gluing the pieces together. once the box was complete I mod podged using matt mod podge.

Coming tomorrow at 8am on @Create&CraftTV the launch of the Jungle Book E-Dies

Alice inspired box

A gift box totally handmade using grey board multi layered. The box is from a Cutting Craftorium USB (apologies as I cannot remember which one), it is a tissue box with the slot in the lid removed and the file enlarged. The patterned papers are from a My Craft Studio cdrom - A very important date. once the papers were printed I covered them in a printer ink sealant spray allowed it to dry and them glued it onto the finished box once the glue was dry I used my sanding block to remove the excess edges. I them covered the whole box in mod podge matt finish.

Coming Tuesday 8th January at 4pm on @Create&CraftTV the new Cutting Craftorium USB 'Just be mine'
