Design Team Projects :-)

Hi Everyone!!
Thank you for popping over to my Blog today :-) I am back with some of my Design Team projects. I really wanted to come on and share them with you. I hope you enjoy them and also gain some inspiration from them. Sometimes we all need inspiration as at times your mind just seems to go blank! I hate it when that happens.

I love this card i created!! How beautiful is it??? I also created a gorgeous box for it as i did not want to risk squashing it in an envelope. I created this for a special Friend and i am sure she will love it :-)
The dies i used are all from Alinacraft, i will put all the links below in case you would like to pop over to Alinas shop and purchase them.
The flowers, sentiment and ephemera are all from my crafty stash. The background paper is from a Maggie Holmes paper pad i had in my stash. I have never really used it and its so pretty. I am trying to make a point of using my crafty stash!

I also made a really sweet Pizza Box using another of Alinacutles dies. I really love this pizza box as its quite large and its so cool that you get 2 Alphabets with it! You get a large set, a smaller set and also numbers with it. I cut out 'For You' and glued that onto the top of my box. Inside i cut out some adorable new Bag Topper dies and i decorated them. The person i am sending this parcel to can use them for her future projects. The layering squares on the top of the Pizza Box are also from Alinacutle. I Love these dies as they have a heart border.

The last project i made was a gorgeous Swan Topper. Again the recipient can use this for one of her future projects. I used another new Bag Topper die and also some beautiful new oval dies that also come with the word 'Gift' I honestly have to say that these are my favourite dies at the minute. They are so beautiful.

I hope you like my Design Team projects and please feel free to pop over to Alina's store on Aliexpress. Here are the links for all the products i used.

Easy Memory Dex Box Tutorial

Hi Crafters!
I am back with another tutorial! You may remember last week i told you that i wanted to start making memory dex cards. I have been meaning to start them but just never seen to get time. When i got my latest DT package from Alinacutle that give me the push to start them as there was a really cool Memory Dex Die set in it. I shared it with you all in my last you tube video.

I began looking online for a memory dex storage system but i found they were so expensive! Then i had the idea to make my own. I am so pleased with it & because i have made it from chipboard its super strong! The 2 runners are made from paper straws! How cool is that?? I just coloured mine in with a permanent metallic marker. Its a fantastic box and i am sure you will agree with me if you make one :-)

These are also my first ever memory dex cards! I created them using 2 new dies from Alinacutle. The gorgeous Black Swan Die & also the adorable little Asian Girl Die As i said before the memory dex card is also created from Alinacutles Memory Dex die set. I love it as you can also create different edges with it.

If you want to have a go at making one of these boxes all you will need is some chipboard. If you don't have that you could also use an old cereal box. You will also need some scrapbook paper, 2 paper straws & i recommend a hot glue gun. I also glued some gorgeous trim around the outside of the boxes, you could also use Ribbon or whatever you have in your crafty stash.
