Hi everyone,

This month at Print Candee the Creative Team are whipping up some fun projects with the theme of Holidays. I thought I would try a non-traditional coloured Christmas card.

I used the swirl tree image from Christmas Design Elements Clipart (Pink Pueblo) and the background paper is from the Jump Digital paper pack (Digital Potpourri). I layered the digital images up in Adobe Illustrator, but it could be done just as easily in Word. I generated my own sentiment. To finish, I added some pearls, ribbon and paper pierced a border with a swoosh of ink around the edge. Too easy!

 

Supplies:

Digital Images/Stamps: Christmas Design Elements Clipart (Pink Pueblo), Jump Digital paper pack (Digital Potpourri),
Ink: Canon colour printer, Distress ink – Broken China
Card: White card stock, Regal Craft Card – white extured
Other Supplies: Kaisercraft pearls – snow, pearl, pewter, pink,  Tim Holtz ruler, paper piercer, Kaisercraft grosgrain ribbon – pink

Thanks for dropping by. Digital images are fun to play with – why not give them a go? Check out all the goodies that Print Candee has to offer.

Until next time,

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing with you a tutorial on how to make this cute little gift box – all the papers are digital papers from Print Candee. If you haven’t checked out the store yet, you should do so as they have hundreds of digital images and papers to choose from.

Firstly, here is the finished box. I am entering this into the current Wee Memories Challenge #75 – to make Home-made gifts, tags and boxes.

My inspiration for the top of the box came from this beautiful heart that I came across on Pinterest which lead me to the original post here. The template for the box came from here – but I modified the dimensions for the top of the box to make a more snuggy fit.

Let’s begin.

1. To make the box, I printed off the pink star digital paper from the Owlicious (Happy Colors) Paper Pack onto some pink bazzill cardstock and cut it into a 9 and 1/8 inch square. The lid of the box was white card stock cut to a 5 and 5/8 inch square (this is slightly different from the template –  this is the bit I modified).

2. I then scored lines onto the box base at 2 and 1/2 inches on all 4 sides. To form tabs on the box to be glued, I cut along one of the score lines in each corner. Refer to the cross on the template.

3. Using adhesive I glued to tabs to form a box.

4. I did exactly the same as the above to form the box lid but I scored at 5/8 of an inch on all 4 sides before cutting along a score line in each corner to form a tab.

5. And what you should end up with is a box that has a lid that fits nice and snug.

6. I then printed off 3 more patterned papers from the same Owlicious (Happy Colors) Paper Pack onto white card stock, but made sure that I printed the pattern on both sides. Make sure the ink on the card stock has dried before printing on the other side.

7. Using my Craft heart punches, I cut various hearts from the 3 double sided patterned papers that I had printed off.

8. Using a scoring bone, I folded each heart in half (yes, the small hearts were fiddly!)

9. Using a piece of scrap paper (which was cut to the size of the lid of the box), I drew a heart shape and cut it out. (I folded the paper in half to make sure that the heart shape was symmetrical).

10. This template became my guide for placing the folded heart punched out shapes onto the box lid. I temporarily adhered it and removed it when I was done. I glued down the flowers as I went.

11. And kept going till I was happy with the results. I added some pearls as a finishing touch.

And there you have it.

Supplies:

Digital Images/Stamps: Owlicious (Happy Colors) Paper Pack
Ink: Canon colour printer
Card: White card stock, Pink Bazzill
Other Supplies: Kaisercraft pearls – snow, Karl Craft punch – Hearts – 3 sizes, Martha Stewart score board

Thanks for sticking with me. Be sure to head on over to the Print Candee store and have a browse around. The amount of projects that can be created from these products are endless!

Today the Creative Team are creating projects with either a Fall or Spring theme (Fall for the Northern Hemisphere, Spring for the Southern Hemisphere). As it is Spring here in Australia, that is what my projects are based on.

When I think of spring I think of flowers and butterflies – and so that is what I have included on this birthday card.

I have used loads of Print Candee goodies on this one. I created the sky background using the Cloud SVG Set, the trees are from the Whimscal Owls and Birds Clipart set, the butterflies are from the Colorful Patterned Butterflies Clipart set and the hills and flowers on the tree were created using digital papers from the Owlicious (Happy Colors) Paper Pack.

And because I love spring so much, I decided to make another project, this time a cute little bird house.

I recently discovered this bird house template from Nichole Heady – however I modified it. I enlarged the template by 160% before printing it off onto a digital paper from the Owlicious (Happy Colors) Paper Pack. I came up with my own version of the roof and added the scalloped edges with my Fiskars scallop punch. The digital paper for the roof is from the Chocolate and Pink Paper Pack. The bird is from the Cute Birds Clipart set. To add some dimension to the bird I propped up his wing with some foam dimensionals and added a black eye.

Hi everyone,

Today I have a couple of gift bags/boxes to share with you using Print Candee products. This month the Creative Team are working on projects with the theme of a ‘gift for you’ and since I love to give little boxed gifts – it was right up my alley.

All the papers I used are digital papers from the Nature Shapes – paper pack from Pixel Paper Prints. Aren’t they just beautiful? They printed perfectly onto my white card stock. I used the Ribbon Bag – blank template to make the bags. The butterflies are the Colorful Patterned Butterflies by Print Candee and the labels are from the Assorted Labels set by Print Candee. They were so easy to make, and I know that I will be making a lot more for parties in the future. Print Candee have many box templates to choose from. Check them out here.

And because I love making boxes, I kept going. This is a box template I have been meaning to try out for a while thanks to Kerry. Once again all the papers are digital papers from the Nature Shapes – paper pack from Pixel Paper Prints. Same Butterfly and Assorted Labels sets as above. These two boxes are filled with chocolates to give to two girls who are about to sit their HSC exams (final exams in Year 12 in NSW, Australia) who I taught when they were in Year 2 and Year 6! Both girls are close to my heart and I wish them all the best!

Today the creative team are creating projects with the theme of kids/babies. When I saw this, I was over the moon as I have two little ones and I love creating kid’s cards! I have made a birthday card for my daughter who turns two in December (I know I am early…but it is good to be organised!) I am into owls at the moment, so when I saw these cute owl clipart images from the store – I was in!

I used a cloud from the Cloud SVG Set to create the background by sponging around it several times with a sponge dauber and Broken China Distress ink. The branch was printed onto my base and to add some dimension I added extra leaves. The owls were printed and then cut out and sponged around – and I added Glossy Accents to the eyes to make them shine! Some flowers and Thickers from my stash and I was done!

Supplies:

Digital Stamps: Print Candee Clipart “Pink and Blue Love owls”, Print Candee “Cloud SVG Set”
Ink: Canon colour printer, Versacolor cubes – Opera Pink, Bamboo, Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Broken China
Card: Regal Craft Card (White textured single fold card), X-Press It Blending card
Other Supplies: Glossy Accents, American Crafts Fabric Letter Thickers – Delight Watermelon, Ribtex Pink ribbon blossoms, Zots adhesive dots – small, sponge dauber, WRMK Corner Chomper, foam dimensionals
