You're So Vintage joy fold card

I had fun making this project, using lots of vintage-y distressing with my new favourite set, Timeless Textures, and finishing off with some shimmer on the stars. 

It’s a joy fold card – I have no idea why they are called that, but the main panel is a small card which opens at the left. The key is to have something at the left on the front left panel which will hold it closed; I’ve used a star and swirl from the That Thing You Did stamp set. I love this set, and do hope it makes the cut when it comes to the retiring list, which will be released very soon on 18th April!

Little thanks, little box with Envelope Punch Board

I don’t have much to show you but I do have this little box, which I CASEd from a German demonstrator called Christina, who also has a handy tutorial on her blog. Yes it’s in German but I’m sure you can work it out from the pictures and the figures: I did! It uses one sheet of 6” x 6” DSP, which makes it perfect for our new paper stacks, which now come in this size. 

I haven’t decided what to put in it just yet, will have to have a wander round the shops. Do you ever do that? Make a little box then take it shopping with you so that you can see which treats fit inside? It does sound a little deranged but I have resorted to this method after learning the hard way. So many times I have bought sweets or chocolates for a certain container (I’m thinking now of the test tube craze and those long thin cello bags) and they’re too big to fit. So then I have to eat them of course…
