Allo chums. Listen, if you’ve got a Brother Scan N Cut, whether its a CM or DX series model, then you might be interested to know that my online course, hosted at Udemy.com, is on sale for the next 5 days. Yup, you heard right – a sale! Woohoo!
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.
Need a gift box in a hurry but don’t know how to design one or can’t find one in your style? Worry no more because with this set you will always have access to the perfect gift box for your handmade gift!
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.
