New Beach Tote Ensemble Tutorial available today!
Posted by: | Comments
While previewing the new Summer Mini Catalogue last month, I was inspired by the new Designer Series Paper pack, Beyond the Garden, to create some beach themed items. Beach bags immediately came to mind!
I always seem to be collecting a new beach bag every year (mostly cause I can’t find the previous year’s one!) and I love the fun bright colors they all have and of course, their capacity to hold lots of items for a day outdoors. So, to stay true to the purpose of a real beach tote bag, I created these three replicas keeping space in mind.
All three totes are large and strong enough to be used as gift bags for that special summer or Hawaiian themed party:
*** Flower Rimmed Wild Wasabi tote measures 8 1/2″ wide at the top, 7″tall excluding handle (11″with handle) and is 2″ deep
*** Daffodil Delight Nautical Striped tote measures 6 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ and is 2″ deep
*** Round Clutch Handle tote measures 7 1/2″ long, is 6″high and 1 1/2″ deep
Beach Tote Ensemble Tutorial includes:
15 pages of written instructions and measurements to complete all three projects
40 step by step photos to assist you in recreating the projects
$3.99 CAD
The tutorial will be emailed to you as a PDF file following your purchase through PayPal.

Christmas Packaging Idea
Posted by: | Comments
Here is a cute idea for you to package some really cute little items in.
It’s a purse shaped like a trapezoid – just like my real current one! Once you fill it, it’s not gonna tip over, that’s for sure!
This is an open view .
When closed, the front flap and cover/lid are secured together with velcro or magnets – they both work well. I left the front tabs unattached to the sides for ease of loading and unloading goodies and treats.
Same purse – different look
My tutorial for this trapezoid purse for gift giving is available today!
It includes 9 pages of instruction along with 26 photos to assist you in creating your own purses.
The tutorial is available starting today for $1.99 CAD.
I’m going to go make a dozen more and then figure out what fun and festive things to put inside. Not that it matters because it’s all about the packaging, isn’t that what they say?
TTFN!

Cookie Box Tutorial
Posted by: | Comments
How many of you give out a plate of cookies at Christmas?
HaHa!! I knew it – lots of you!!! Me too!
This year, let’s throw away those paper plates and plastic wrap and give cookies away in this!
I was able to fit a dozen cookies in this box – the dimensions are 2 3/4″ x 6 1/2″ x 2 3/4″ .
Here’s the step-by step instructions for you:
Step 1:
Stamp a 12″x 12″piece of cardstock as desired. I used Bravo Burgundy, Bells & Boughs stamp set and shimmer paint.
Score one side at 2 3/4″ and 9 1/4″; turn cardstock 90 degrees and score at 2 3/4″, 5 1/2″, 8 1/4″, and 11″.
Step 2:
Cut off the two un-neccessary thin ends.
Step 3:
Cut on all horizontal score lines up to intersecting score lines – this creates your side ends.
Step 4:
Cut off 1 3/4″ off set of 1st tab ends. This creates the box lid…
Step 5:
Round all 4 lid corners.
Step 6:
Create a 2 1/2″x 4 3/8″ rectrangular template; lay template on box top and trace; cut out with paper cutter.
Cut a piece of acetate sheet to 3 1/2″x 5 1/2″ and adhere to inside of box covering the window.
Step 7:
Fold on all score lines folding the acetate sheet as you go.
Step 8:
Apply double-sided tape to the last two tabs on each end as shown in photo above. Fold up box starting at far end and finished at box lid. Fold lid into box with tabs on the inside.
Decorate as desired…then send me a link or photo of your creation- I want to see!!!
