Aunty Vera Scrap and Craft Creative Project

Hello Everyone,

Today I was still in the mood to play with the wonderful paper from Photo Play and wanted to do a project that was fun, easy and quick. I searched Pinterest for a free downloadable  heart box  template and was quite surprised to find one straight off the bat.

What you will need for this cute heart treat box:
*a free printable from pinterest
*a cropodile
*Blazing Red Stazon ink
*Photo Play Crazy for you paper
*Elements sticker sheet called Wild Love
*double sided tape
*some thread or twine for decoration
*small brads to attach handles
*small piece of cheese cloth or fabric
 Then I used the template to cut the shape from The Photo Play 'Crazy for you' paper and folded the paper on the marked fold lines and that gave the shape of the heart box. I inked the edges of the heart box shape with the Stazon Blazing Red Ink and was now ready to decorate the front and back of the heart. I decorated the heart shapes before I folded and adhered the box together, it just makes it a little easier.



 I used the cute little bunnies and the heart banner stickers to decorate the hearts. For a little bit more texture I also used a small piece of cheese cloth under the bunny images.


Then added double-sided tape to the bottom small flap as well as the side flap (picture below) and put the heart shaped box together. It is a very easy process when you have previously folded the edges.



When the box was put together, I cut two 1 inch wide strips of the paper folded them in half and I used  these strips for the handles on the heart box. I punched the holes using my cropodile on each side front and back and used some small brads from my supplies to fix the handles onto the box.


With the first little heart box being so simple to make, I decided to make another one using the same paper and process but using some of the other stickers from the Photo Play Elements Sticker sheet for decoration. Instead of making the handles, I tried something different and used some red fiber thread from my supplies to tie the heart box together at the top (below).


 This is such a super fun and easy project and when finished you can add your favourite sweets in it and give it to that someone special.

FLOW-ISH JOURNALS are addictive!!

Recently I joined a swap at our Australian Art Swap Group on facebook where we had to put together a flow-ish Journal. I absolutely love putting these together as it gives me a chance to use up a lot of papers and items I have been hoarding. A flow-ish journal is based on the Flow magazines and books with the intent that everything inside can be pulled out and used by another person in their own art works or projects. Below are a few pictures and videos of me showing you through the ones I have put together. Once I start one, I seem to want to keep making them. Todate, I think I have put together at leadt five of these types of journals and sent them to friends and swap partners. This Flow-ish journal is the one I made for the swap. The cover was a real estate guide booklet and I decided to decorate it, to make it look a little prettier. It is full of patterned papers, die cuts, tissue paper, handmade envelopes and pockets filled with odds and ends, that I thought the recipient w

 ATC HOLDERS This is a very fast and easy project. I used my the leftover image pieces from the Sweeping Plains Papers to decorate a few Artist Trading Card Holders. Each made holder can store eight ATC's.The base of the holder is made from cardstock I had in my own supplies and the pockets that hold the ATCs, I made from a manilla folder. The Base Cut your cardstock to 11" x 3". Then score at 2 1/2", 3 1/4", 7" and 7 3/4"/ Fold on score lines. The Pockets Cut your manilla folder to 6" x 4". You will need to cut and make eight pockets. Score with long side up at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2". Then turn once with short side up and score at 1/2". Fold along score lines. Cut the small square off the bottom corner and then cut from 2 3/4 score line to edge, taking off  the long 1/2" panel. Use your double sided Ranger LetterIT tape and place on the botton flap and the side flap. Fold over score lines to make your pocket. I used a 1"
