Shoestring Scrapbooking

Easter 2009 - My page

I eventually did my Easter page. I must say we look scary so early in the morning, but we had no chance to get dressed! The kids dragged us out of bead so we could help them find all the eggs that Easter bunny had left them! :)

Scrapped Stimrol Box

From this -

To This -

 

I chew gum all day and have quite a few STIMOROL boxes. So I decided to play around and this is what I came up with. It makes a great pocket for a card. Also another great project for all your scraps. I also think this would make a great birthday invitation that's inexpensive - still need to play around with that idea.

After making the cards in paper cigar boxes, I don't get rid of any boxes! Good way of recycling - WHAT DO YOU THINK? :)

Fathers Day Card - In Paper Cigar Box (Step by Step)

I know its early to start with Fathers day projects, but you might need some time to find the perfect paper box & this project is great for all those scraps.

What you will need:

- Paper Cigar Box
- Scraps of paper
- Double sided tape
- Craft Knife
- Scraps of denim, buttons, brads etc. to decorate

Step 1 - Start by covering each section of the paper cigar box. I recommend using double sided tape.

Step 2 - Once you have covered the entire box, decorate the front of the box using embellishments of your choice.

Step 3 - Now you are going to make your card for the inside of the box. Measure the width & length of your box. Use card-stock to make the card - the length stays the same, but you need to double the width. Cut & fold in half.

Step 4 - Now you are going to decorate the front of your card using embellishments of your choice.

Slip your card into the box - that's that YOU ARE DONE!

Well I hope this inspires you. :)

Enjoy!
