Exploding Wedding Box Card

 


Hello you lovely lot
Hope everyone is well and had a super weekend? We were lucky and managed to get away and enjoy the glorious sunshine. Jura was loving it!

Have any of you been crafting? What have you been making/working on? I’m busy working away on something a little ‘fruity’ but can’t sure just yet. Keep watching for a little something sweet coming soon

Now today I’m sharing another wee YouTube Tutorial with you all, an Exploding Box Card. 


Some of you that have followed me for years all know how much I love making these and knew it was about time I shared how I make them. I really hope you will give it a go once you see how easy it is



I used some really old Prima Marketing 12x12 pattern papers but you can find similar in lots of different brands and I teamed it with printed sentiments and lots of die-cuts but you can add anything to decorate and personalise for the lucky person or couple



Remember if you make something following one of my tutorials please let me know, tag me @meljessdesigns on any of your socials

Have a great week lovelies and and here’s to another fun crafty week
Hugs Mel x

Wedding Time xx

 Happy Monday lovelies

Hope this wee post finds you all well? Have you been enjoying the sunshine? It’s been lovely to have some heat and see Mr Sunshine instead of snow showers. We managed to get to away for the first time in 8 months, crazy that it’s been so long since we were at the caravan! Luckily there was no damage for it not being in winter mood and only the bedding needed washed 

Today I’m sharing something a little special


This here was a little labour of love as not only was the first Wedding Box in ages, it was for my brother and his wife!!


I give you Mr and Mrs Shand
Look how absolutely happy they both look, what a day they had eventually!

Here is some more pictures of the box up close



  



  



I used the lush Butterfly Kisses papers from Dovecraft that you can find over at Craft Label. I inked white card for the base to give a distressed look also adding to the other layered to match. The lovely the little butterfly is a die from the same set that I layered up to give a different look. I used some die-cuts and pictures of the couple as well as lots of Mulberry Flowers.

Of course you can see instead of a cake in the middle we have a Cheese Cake Tower lol as this was what they were having on the day instead of a cake I knew I had to add it here! I cut box shapes from white card and coloured them with my Spectrum Noirs to add all the cheese detail


I'm so pleased they eventually got to have their day, even if it wasn't't what they originally wanted it was still one very magically day! Plus their dog Bruce even managed to get involved 

Well I best get some work done, even tho I just want to sit in the sunshine! Theses Christmas makes (yip I said the C word) won't get made themselves!

Until next time take care

Altenew Box Magazine xx

Afternoon you lovely lot
Are you all well, staying safe? I can't believe this craziness is still going on but at least we are trying to make the best of it

I've been taking time to get the last of my work done, make some cards to add to my own stash and also play with my Nintendo Switch Lite! Yes I treated myself to a switch and Animal Crossing with mu Christmas and Birthday vouchers I was hoarding for some strange reason lol. So now I'm happily created my own wee world while the real one is mad!!

Today I wanted to share a littler something I was so so so pleased with and can't believe how they came out! What am I talking about???? 


YES!! 

I was lucky to be asked to create some pieces to go along with the kit that comes with the magazine and the only brief was Wedding!

So as you know that's sooooo me! Not only that, I had my brothers invites on my desk so added their names fro the 'couple'! Sadly my brother and Jamielee to change their Wedding to next year so seeing their wee names in print sorta helps lol 


look at the group photo!! Just makes me so happy to see those makes look so fab



the main Invite, I used the layer stamps but only the first layer and coloured with my pens then added a printed vellum overlay! Makes it look soft but the copper makes it all pop!


I also made a cute little favour box and again used the stamps but this time layered them to create the perfect Altenew floral flower to decorate the box

You'll have to see the magazine for yourself to see all the fab creations the rest of the team came up with! Plus the kit is AMAMZING! that stamp set alone I'd buy it for hehehehe

____________________

Apart from working on some fun pieces I've still been keeping up with our wee Challenge Facebook group, have you checked it out yet??
Its great for getting you to use up your old stash and see what other have been doing. Its bad tho for reminding you what you might have in your stash that you've forgot hehehehe

Here's what I made for the All at Sea Challenge last week


the wool was odds and ends from other projects and the pattern a very old magazine one! So Its not just paper crafts! Why not join in?? This week is Anything Goes and we can't wait to see what you've been making!

Well, until next time

Another lil Wedding xxx

Evening everyone

Sorry my post is later tonight, we have been out visiting family this afternoon then out for a lovely wee meal at my fav place Cornhill House!

A lovely wee day we had but with all this not sleeping from waiting on my friend to give birth I'm exhausted lol! She did phone last night think she might need me and would be going to go soon! But then she text a few hours later saying nothing else had happened and she was off to bed! Her due date has been but I didn't know they can leave you for up too two weeks before doing anything! At this rate I'll be a walking zombie with lack a sleep and panic any time the phone goes lol!

Challenge Day - 10

OMG! I can't believe I'm already at day 10!! Its actually been really fun making my self do this and really enjoyable! Plus easier than I thought lol!

So tonight I want to share another wee box I just finished this morning! The couple are getting hitched in some lush beach so I knew my gorjuss wee Magnolia couple was perfect!







I had made a very similar bx just before Christmas (well same papers and image so almost exact lol) and the person that ordered this just loved it and wanted the same for their friends! I do so love that wee couple hee

I would like to enter this into the following Challenges
Delightful Challenges - Patterned Paper
Crafty Calendar - Love and Marriage

Thanks again for everyone that is encouraging me with my 15 Day Challenge and with even more kind comments with my win and Charisma Dt position! 

I'll be back tomorrow after visiting my wee Mummy and granny!
