Any occasion double compartment boxes imperial and metric measurements

How to make double compartment boxes

I had such fun making these integral double compartment boxes. They are suitable for any occasion, but for this post, it’s all about Valentines! You can size them up, or size them down! The one in Blushing Bride and Sahara Sand are in Imperial measurments, and the Bermuda Bay and Real Red ones are in […]

New Treat Box with A Touch of Ink

Who doesn’t love a treat gift wrapped in the most fetching way? I’m a sucker for mini boxes and I simply adore the new one Stampin’ Up! has in its Love You Always Suite on pages 10-13 of the new January-June 2021 mini. No glue required – that HAS to be a bonus, right? I […]

Bespoke Box Snow Wonder

It’s crazy isn’t it? After the year we’ve had most of it spent incarcerated at home, how does it seem possible that when the whole year seemed to drag, here we are with Christmas just a couple of days away and the end of the year is nigh! I’ll be sad to see this year’s […]

Christmas Cracker Poinsettia Petals

Christmas Cracker – Poinsettia Petals

Advent Calendar – Coming Home

I always make an Advent Calendar for my Countdown to Christmas Series each year. This year, I made it with the Home Together Dies. These dies can be purchased together with the Coming Home stamp set as a bundle at a 10% discount. I also used the Playful Alphabet dies with which to die cut […]
