Candy Cane Lane cracker top box

Hi everyone
I hope you are all well. I've had a hectic week at work...yesterday was my 1st chance to craft in a week!!
I don't know about you all but I get withdrawal symptoms hahaha.

This project I'm sharing with you all today is something I've seen a few people on facebook and youtube do, I loved it and so thought I'd give it a try.
I'm so pleased with how it turned out, I hope you guys like it too.

For this project I used:

Real Red cardstock measuring 12 x 12" and another piece at 2 x 4"

Candy Cane Lane DSP 4 pieces measuring 6 1/8 x 2 5/8" and 4 pieces measuring 1 1/2 x 2 5/8"

Scrap of Whisper White cardstock measuring 3 x 1 3/4"

Natural trim ribbon

Cookie cutter christmas stamp set

Cookie cutter punch

Tin of tags stamp set

Scalloped tag punch

Envelope punch board

Metallic enamel shapes

Real red ink pad

Crumb cake ink pad

Early espresso ink pad

1. On one side of the 12 x 12 cardstock...score at 2 7/8, 5 3/4, 8 5/8, 11 1/2" then rotate the card 90 degrees and score at 2 7/8". Rotate the card 180 degrees and score at 1 3/4, 2 1/4 and 2 3/4"

2. cut away thin rectangle and punch on the score lines (as pic below) line your card in the envelope punch board at 2 1/4" with every punch you need to do.

3. Attach your panels of DSP and then when burnishing the 3 little score lines at the top where you have punched. Remember that they need to be folded as follows...starting with the top one..towards you, 2nd away from you and 3rd towards you.

4. Apply adhesive of choice on the thin skinny strip and construct as you would any other box.

5. Make your tag using the little pieces of card and scalloped tag punch then thread the ribbon through and tie around the box as desired.

Hope you all like this project and I look forward to seeing some of you rcreations.

If anyone would like a FREE catalogue...drop me a message and I'll happily post one out to you.

Happy crafting and I'll catch ya later.

Warmth and cheer Advent Tree Calendar

Hi everyone 

I hope you are all well. It's been a bit miserable today so instead of going out shopping I decided to get my craft stuff out instead.

This is my project today and let me tell you it's been a labour of love...been on for at least 3 - 4 hrs haha.

The individual boxes measure 1 3/4" square when constructed. I've decorated it using the Warmth and Cheer DSP that is available from the Autumn/ Winter catalogue.

I must admit it's not my favorite project, I wish it had turned out better! I guess though for my 1st attempt it's not too bad.

This is not my original idea...I followed  the tutorial from Melissa's Kre8tions on youtube.

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your day.

Catch ya later

The biggest box measures 7" long, 5" wide and 2" deep. The second box measures 6 1/4" long, 3 1/4" wide and 1 5/8" deep.

My Stampin Up journey

Good morning everyone
Hope you are all well. It's been a while since I've posted on here now...I've just been away for2 weeks in the lovely sunshine. It was amazing.
Today's post isn't a project but I wanted to share with you all my Stampin Up journey so far...so here goes.


Hi everyone my name is Steph (or Steffi to friends) and i'm an independant Stampin Up demonstrator.
I've been papercrafting now for just over 4 years...it's thanks to my mam how obsessed I am now haha
Over the years I found a great deal of amazing products from a varied range of companies but never once did I stick to one companies products to producea card.
Earlier this year I saw that an old friend (whom I'd lost contact with after moving to Sunderland) set upa facebook page all about papercrafting. I was instantly intrigued and wanted to know more!
I placed a couple of orders with her beforedeciding to join myself with her as my 'upline'. Everyone who knows me will tell you that if I can find a bargain then I'm happy haha
It was in June that I decided to join...£130 worth of product for only £99!! even better that I could choose exactly what I wanted and not a prearranged bundle. Also at the time there was a great offer of picking ANY 2 FREE STAMP SETS!! WOWZERS!!
Initially I was worried whether I had it in me to only use product from one company....honestly though Stampoin Up make it so easy as everything coordinates perfectly and are fantastic quality. Now I can't remember the last timei used anything non Stamoin Up.
Everyone on our group pages on facebook and the whole crafting cliche in general are so supportive and always there to give advice when needed.
If anyone would like to know more about hoe to order or  to request a FREE CATALOGUE please don't hesitate to contact me.
Happy crafting everyone
