Christmascard layout/prototype

Christmascard layout/prototype

I decided that I wanted this years christmascard to be a boxcard, making it more interactive and 3D! I decided this in september already and started making the red outside of the boxes, adding on patternpaper as I went along. I did this one first, It lacks the glitter and christmasy feeling to it, so i think Ill alter the other 12 that I have to make a bit. The front flap is gonna be decorated with gingerbread men and women, and a Merry Christmas stamp and the from bit is gonna be on the back of the box. The box in folded shape is 14x14 cm, which makes it fit in a 15x15 cm envelope perfectly!

Cute little hairclip bows

I made a big hairclip bow that I attach to my ponytail when Im at work and such. But I wanted to make smaller hairclips more suitable for a child, my best friends daughter turned 3 last week and wanted hairasscessories more then anythingelse. So i made these cute little bow and thinking of making a packaging for them as a three, adding on a Blue one aswell. They did turn out semi big so i think you can only fit one on a kids head, original plan was to make 2 greens as hairclips and use the pink one as a necklace. Added an aligator hairpin on the back with some glue gun glue.

Made these small cards for my collegues at work, Pink and cream cardstock paper. Stamps are from lawnfawn, I really really love their stampsets. So far I have 3 of them, the Get well soon, Ready yeti Go! and Love you tons. Im really getting a hang of this stamping things :)

Bought some better ink and better pens for colouring. Also got me a scoringboard finally and its now my best friend!

I made these 2 last night. I really love the distress ink on the light teal cardstock and how it turned out. I didnt want to close the Black one up proper cause the Babyblue one turned out a bit tacky with the bow. The Black one also has 2 small beads I bought at Hobbycraft in Maidstone. The Babyblue one just has 3 punched out stars and a bit of string I had laying around at home. 

1, 2, 3 box

1, 2, 3 box

So I spent most of my Friday folding boxes and trying different things out. The distress ink on the white bits was a tad of a fail, it just made it grey and weird instead of oldish. I also cut one of the flaps a tad short which was a tad of fail aswell. But it turned out like a nice box atleast. I like the size of it, Its 2 inches x 3 inches and 1 inch wide, so kinda like a playingcard box. The Blue cardstock is just dome cheap paper Ive picked up somewhere, its not canvased like the ones I like. I think this is gonna be a useful size for diffrent small things.

I found the tutorial for Box Cards the other day and Ive made 2 diffrent prototypes of just printingpaper so far, this is the first base I made out of real cardstock. Its a Brown basebit with Babyblue bits on. The edges of the Babyblue has been brushed with Distress ink to make it look a tad aged. Im planning on making this a birthdaycard with a bit of an oldish look. 

Will post more as it comes along. My thought is to make my christmascards in this style aswell.
