A5 Flower Box - 2 Styles

 Hi Everybody,

I have been asked to do a video using the A5 Flower Box set. I have done quite a few now with the smaller 6x6 set and added them here on the blog.

They are of course available on YouTube should you wish to re visit them. I now have hundreds of videos on my YT Channel and they cover all different ideas.

In the smaller box videos I have shown how I have stamped, coloured and cut the flowers from the matching die and stamp set.

But in this one I have simply shown the making of the box in 2 different ways. 

You can decorate yours with any flower dies or other items that you may have and some ideas would be to add toys to the box for a child's card. sporting goods or tools for the men in your life. Gardening items for the keen green fingered people you may know. Books for the book worms or sewing times for the dress makers. The idea are endless.

The video for the Smaller box is here.     6x6 Flower Box and to colour the flowers and die cut them the video is here ...  Perfect Flowers Die & Stamp Set

Hope you enjoy

More tomorrow ...

Hexagonal Box - Another Style

 Hi Everybody,

Over the last few videos I have shared different ways to create this shaped box, and today is no exception.

 Here is yet another way to create a beautiful box but this one is shorter than the others styles and would suit the addition of chocolates maybe as a gift for your recipient.

I am sure there are other ways that you can come up with to create your own style once you start to play with this new die set.

You can also use any of the other dies in the set to create the edges other than the lace one I have used and you can also add this the other way round to sit up the panels instead of down them. 

Get your imagination working and see what you can come up with and you will be really pleased with the boxes that you make.

Ruby Update

Hello Everyone,

It's me Ruby and it's ages since I was here for a chat.  This is me sat in my favourite spot on the back of the sofa looking through the window.

I do, of course, bark at any body that dares to walk past my house. Just to let them know how fierce I am and dangerous to strangers.  Don't I look it ???

I have been enjoying walks with my mum but just recently I have developed a lump on my shoulder. 

My mum has had me to the vet and she said she doesn't think it is serious but as a precautionary measure it would be best to have it removed and checked.

So I will need an operation and then it will be sent to a laboratory for testing. We will have to wait for the results.

 I feel fine and it doesn't stop me going out and running around or barking but I will let you know how I go on and the results. Wish me luck for the end of the month and my op.

Lots of love 

Ruby xx
