Junk journal envelopes for Craft Box UK

 Hi thanks for stopping by.

Today I'm here with my last project as a design team member for Craft Box UK.

I've been a member of the Craft Box UK design team since April 2020 and it was

 a great team to be in.

For this projects I've decided to use up some of my scrap pieces of paper and 

made these 3 pocket envelopes for future junk journals.

The paper and ephemera I used are from the Steampunk collection by Craft Box UK.

This envelope has a pocket on the front for putting in tags, journal cards or in my case, stickers.

I sewed the paper pieces together to create the pocket envelopes.

On this envelope I did some paper collaging and added a steampunk bug cut out.

These envelopes can also be used for snailmailing.

I would like to thank Anna and Claire from Craft Box UK for the opportunity and 

the awesome Craft Box UK  products.

It's been a different kind of year with the Corona virus going on in the world but I 

loved being part of the Craft Box UK team.

I wish you the best for 2021!

Hugs, Henriëtte

Fancy Fold card for Craft Box UK

 Hi and welcome to my blog.

I've made a cute fancy fold card. It is called a Crossover fun fold card and it's easy to make.

You can find a tutorial by Wendy Cranford here.

For my card I used the Come Home papers from Craft Box UK.

Isn't it a fun fold card? There are more variations as you can see in the video tutorial.

I used cut outs on the front panel and three resin flowers.

On the inside panels there's enough room to write a message or 

maybe make a pocket for a gift card.

Thank for visting my blog.

Hugs, Henriette.

 Hello crafty friends, so nice of you to visit my blog!

Today I'm sharing a card made with the beautiful "Come Home"collection by Anna Hersom.

This collection consists of paper pads, ephemera and stickers designed by Craft Box UK owner Anna Hersom and it's only available at Craft Box UK

I love the gorgeous colors of teal and mint green. 

Here's my card.

I made a slim line card this time.

It measures 10,5 x 21,5 cm (4 x 8,5 inches).

I've added lace, a paper doily, fussy cut elements, resin flowers and 

handmade foamiran flowers and leaves.

The blue foamiran flowers are made using white foamiran which I colored with 

oil pastels until it matched the papers. 

I used flowers dies from Crealies.

I also made white foamiran flowers, tiny blue flowers and green leaves.

The sentiment is made in word with a beautiful font.

Shaker cards for Craft Box UK

 Hello friends, I'm back to share two shakers cards I made with the "My Grandma's home" 

papers and ephemera by Craft Box UK.

I followed a tutorial on how to make this kind of shaker on Angela Kerr's YouTube channel.

You can find it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7KF76FaXqo&t

These shaker cards are made with the lovely papers from Craft Box UK called 

"My Grandma's home".

This paperpad is still available but only in seconds.

 Please read the description on the Craft Box UK website. 

My Grandma's house paper pad seonds

I believe I also worked with a seconds paper pad because the colors are somewhat washed and 

paler then the original, but I don't mind that a bit. 

I love the paler look of the paper in contrast to the shaker parts.

For the shaker bits I used sequins, beads and micro beads from my own stash.

Well that's it for today, thanks for stopping by and until soon.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Coin Envelope accordion booklet for Craft Box UK

 Hello everyone, welcome to my blog.

Today I'm sharing a project I've made using the Autumn Coffee collection by Craft Box UK.

I've made this kind of tag holder/booklet before.

It's fun and easy to make. You can use it as a ATC holder, a tag holder, for snail mailing

or as a present with a giftcard inside. 

There's a tutorial on YouTube by Christina Betts, you can watch it here.

I used 5 coin envelopes. I did not have more envelopes of the same size 

otherwise I would have glued on more.

For the booklet I used thick cardboard which I decorated with the Autumn Coffee papers.

.

Inside are 5 tags made with the Autumn Coffee papers and ephemera, 

a small card and some tickets.

I hope I have inspired you with this project.

Altered lunch bag for Craft Box Uk

 Hi crafty friends. I'm here with another project as a design team member for Craft Box UK.

It's an altered lunch bag and I used a pad from the pretty paper collection called "Her Garden".

This paper pad has 10 beautiful floral designs.

Altering a lunch bag is very easy, you just fold the lower part up and glue the sides to 

create a pocket. The top flap is then folded over the pocket to create a envelope.

You decorate all sides with the patterned papers.

I torned all paper edges with a tearing ruler and distress them with brown distress ink.

I also covered the back of the pocket with the pretty papers.

I made small 3 tags to go inside the pocket.

The front is embellished with paper flowers, resin flowers and leave die cuts.

I also added some lace trim on the bottom of the envelope and on the flap.

To keep the envelope closed I attached a piece of lace and a long ribbon on the flap

 with a brad. You can wrap the ribbon around the envelope to keep it closed.

The flowers and pretty papers are available at the

Craft Box UK webshop

Thanks so much for visiting my blog.

Take care and until next time.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

I covered the tag with paper from the steampunk paperpad.

On top of the base I added a collaged panel using dimensional tape.

The panel is decorated with cut outs, metal gears, metallic tape,

Finally I've added a big eyelet and a piece of wrinkled ribbon.
