Hi
This is
something I made up when I had my lovely peaceful day in the craft
room on Sunday
The design
was from a blog but I am so sorry I just cannot remember the name of
it so cant give credit to the clever designer
It would
make a fab pressie for someone with a new baby – pop a pair of
socks, or mittens, a bib or dummy in each of the milk cartons...
Or maybe
decorate with red roses and use for Valentines day with sweeties in
the cartons and maybe a little note for your loved one
Then again
why not use as a birthday gift – or christmas – in fact any event
could be catered for just by the papers used!
So
materials for this card I used ….
Heat mat
to work on and protect your surface – I always use it...
7 sheets
White A4 card
An A5
sheet of backing will cover 2 cartons
Some
ribbon to match
Houghie
Board & Score tool
Crop-a-dile
Sticky
pads
Eazi Score
Board & tool
Tonic 8”
guillotine
Scissors
Tweezers
Shaping
tool from www.dimensionstamps.com
Foam
shaping mat – stamping mat or even a mouse mat
To
make the card …
Following
the instructions you made up each carton – they are so easy to make
...the A4 card is cut down and scored in several places and then
folded and glued..once I find the instructions I can tell you more..
Once the 4
cartons were finished I used my crop-a-dile to evenly punch holes for
the ribbons to be slotted through
The high
back was measured and cut out then I used a nestability to cut the
aperture which is the carry handle.
The base
was 2 sections the same – but had I read further on from the
finished design – the designer gave details on how to do a single
box layer to stand the four cartons in...
I used
some lilac and some aqua coloured paper to cover parts of the carton
fronts – I did intend on adding embellishments but gave up!
So there
you have it – I will make some more but do the full base next time
– plus I know where I made silly mistakes so will be sure to avoid
those too.
It will be
a card to share tomorrow – no more templates...
Right
that's all for today – same place tomorrow!

Great ideas, Angie. Would be lovely to give little baby gifts in or use for Valentine's Day. You're so clever. xx
