Coffin Box

Hello There!

Brrrrrrr, it’s cold here! We had a very weird heat wave last week but now we’ve been well and truly thrown into an Autumnal chill so it feels right that I’m in the middle of Halloween projects now and starting my Christmas ones too. I took my first tentative steps on my sparkly new sewing machine today, I tried out straight and zig-zag stitches. It went really well but I think I need some practice with feeding the paper through straight and to be less heavy footed on the peddle so the paper stops running away from me, the sewing machine is completely awesome I just need to fine tune the person using it, lol.

I have a little coffin treat box for you today, I made one a couple of Halloweens ago but I’ve given this one more depth so it will hold bigger sweets. I have a cut file for those of you with digital cutters and a template version for those of you without as I think it’s a simple enough shape to attack with scissors or a craft knife. The top and bottom parts are included, I cut both parts from one piece of A4 but for a larger one you can cut each part on a separate piece of card. I hope the little trick or treaters in your life will like it :)

Halloween Digis & Treat Bag

Good Evening!

The news here in the bird-house is that I finally got myself a sewing machine! I’ve never really learnt how to use one properly and apart from doing my own alterations on clothes and making things for the home, I can not wait to start adding some neat and even stitching on my cards. It has 24 built in stitches so I’m sure you’ll see some of those making an appearance here soon, I’m so excited!

I have 2 Halloween digis for you today with the treat bag template and cut file too. I coloured the borders of the digis with Copics to match the little bags and stuffed them full of Halloween treats, I’m sure my nieces and nephews will love them :)

Dungarees

I’m meltiiiiiiiiing………..I mean Hiyah!

It’s so hot here at the moment, we aren’t used to it. We get so little warm weather here normally, I’ve even broken out the home made ice lolly maker, strawberry pop ices yumm!

I have some cute little kids dungarees cut files for you today but as the lines are quite simple and I figure could easily be cut out with scissors I have included a copy in the template section too for those of you without a digital cutter :) There is a base card and a top layer in each of the boys and girls versions. I know that the girls version is called a pinafore dress but I’m calling them both dungarees to make it simpler.

I wanted a denim look for my dungarees so I cut my top layers in some navy blue textured cardstock then roughly sanded them to expose some of the white core, I added some stitching on the straps, hems and pockets then popped in some silver brads where the metal buttons would be. The base cards are cut in some of my gingham and subtle stripes paper from my paper packs, I added some more of the paper to trim the boys sleeves and neck area and added some lace trim to make the girls top more girl-y. I also added some lace to the hem of the dress and a tiny fabric butterfly to the pocket.

I had great fun making these and could think of lots of different ways to change them up just changing the paper designs and the trimmings, I hope you will have fun with them too :)
