Exploding gift boxes don’t sound like a thing of joy – especially the ones in those adverts that chuck things all over you – however, on this occasion, thankfully, it’s smiles all round!
With a little playtime late one evening I decided to crack out a new set of dies that I recently collected from the guys at Craft Stash.
Thanks to the snowy weather we have been having up here I have managed to record a decent length video on how I made a cool clamshell memory box and wanted to share it with you.
Welcome to episode 2 of Gentleman Crafter TV!
In this episode, I will be sharing with you a technique for using the Hunkydory Adorable Scoreboard to make box frames of varying sizes and shapes. There is also a spreadsheet download that will help you calculate the right size of cardstock to cut, to begin with, and then where to score your lines.
I’ve been keeping a secret all week – the lovely ladies that I met at Jodie Johnson’s house had a sneak peek at the dies that are being launched today at midday on Create and Craft TV – and so did I!!
We even got to play with them! Want to see what I made…?
Hey ho campers!
Been having a little play with some free papers that were in issue 156 of Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine and thought I’d share a tip on using them for something other than cardmaking.
Hello all. I was recently asked how to go about creating word book panels in Scan N Cut Canvas.
Happy to say that I’ve had a few mins to record and edit a quick overview of one (and a bit) way of doing this.
Been tinkering with a little something over the last few days.
Bit by bit it has come together and became something quite lovely.
I treated myself to a Tim Holtz Paper Mosaic set recently, having seen a bit about it online, and managed to have a little play this weekend.
Some time ago (over a year ago in fact) I created a blog post about how to create half cut cards in Scan N Cut Canvas. As part of my little series of Scan N Cut tutorials I though that it would be great if I could make a little video to accompany that.
So here it is!
I have been having a go at making gifts bags this week. Something I’ve not really tried before but with the big ‘C’ coming up I thought that I’d like to have a go this year.
This project started out with the Poinsettia Gift Tag Stamp from Designs by Georgina. I stamped this out onto Kraft card using an Archival Inkpad; this was then cut out around the outer edge.
Well hello there! I’ve been creating and editing videos again – this time around I thought that I would give you something a little more ‘meaty’ and decided to create a walkthrough on how to create a pillow box in Scan N Cut Canvas.
I was deliberating whether to hand make Christmas this year (bit late to still be procrastinating I know) when along came Georgina Ford.
Georgina is setting up a new creative business called Designs By Georgina and she asked me if I would have a go with some of her product range and see what I thought.
Never one to turn down a creative request I said yes please!
Hello to you once more, *doffs cap*.
Well, who would have thought that I would have managed to get two blog posts out per day for three days in a row?! Well, I have, *puffs out chest and looks proud*.
For this one I went back to designing box frame card fronts, but this time I thought that I would add a twist and a bonus.

Well hello there cheeky face – it’s lovely to see you again.
Now, I had such a lovely time making the box frame card yesterday that I thought that I would try my hand at another one …

Morning all. I’ve been having a little play in between designing 3D bits and bobs to create a nice versatile card blank for the Digital Craft Emporium.
