This weeks free Design Space file is based on an awesome project by Sam from Pootles Papercraft. I've been trawling the internet looking for ideas for our Free File Friday and came across Sam's blog. Can I just say I want to make every... single... thing... she has shared!!! I contacted Sam and asked if it was okay for me to create a Cricut Design Space cut file from one of her projects to share with all of you... and she said yes! So, without further ado... let me introduce you to the Pootles Papercraft Tea Bag Holder Folder! They will make the cutest gifts to give to friends or family. Each one holds 4 of the Twinings size tea bag envelopes. (Well, they used to be envelopes. Seems Twinings has cut costs and don't pack their teabags in those cute little envelopes anymore...) Here's a side view of the holder... Inside you'll find four of the cutest little envelopes each one containing a tea bag! And here's Sams versions... I found they also fit coffee sachets. And imagine one filled with Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares! Drool.... These are the pieces you'll find in the cut file. It might look complicated, but it really is a simple project to make! You'll notice in Sams video she uses flowers as the envelope closures. I create my files using the free Cricut Craft Room Basics cartridge so that anyone with an Explore can cut it but unfortunately there's no flower on that cart so I used a circle instead. But you can hide or delete those circles and add whatever shape you like in their place. Here's the link to the Design Space file: https://design.cricut.com/landing/project-detail/5ee4f667dc202d052cd3a46f And make sure you watch Sams video! She shows you exactly how to put this beautiful project together! Here's the link to the project: http://pootles.co.uk/2014/03/24/stampin-up-uk-tea-bag-holder-folder-tutorial/ Please leave Sam some blog love while you're there. And if you happen to live in Wales, UK and need a Stampin' Up consultant... then look no further! A Public Service Announcement.... you will most likely lose hours at Sams blog.... I watched video after video after video!! You have been warned! :) I hope you enjoy this weeks file. 'Til next week.... Happy crafting! ♥

I just felt that I've got the needle punch machine, I've tried it out and now I need to make something! This quick box is made in just two main pieces; 1 the top and sides and 2, the base. (click on photo for bigger image) You make a pattern like a row of equal sized 'beach huts' for the main part, and a pentagon with equal sides that measure the same as the bottom of a single 'beach hut'. The box is made from a 'sandwich of top fabric, craft or pelmet vilene and felt. I used a piece of hand dyed muslin for the top fabric and stitched all over it in a grid pattern to hold the layers together. The decorative 'tiles' were made on the embellisher and are patches of silk fabric overlayed onto dark green flannel. I bonded all the layers together to make it easier and that was a mistake on two counts: first, it makes it very stiff and quite difficult to work and secondly you lose the quilted look that you get when you machine onto felt. I managed to needle punch the tiles onto the thick fabric sandwich, (that machine has certainly got some punch!) but I wouldn't try to do it again because the machine did get a bit hot. (click on photo for bigger image) I straight stitched over the tiles in a spiral pattern to harmonise them a bit more with the main fabric and edged them with a machine wrapped cord. Then I edged the whole piece by machine zigzaging on some of the same cord around the edges and attached the base with ladder stitch. I wasn't really happy with what I had done, so I buttonholed all around the edges - much better! Then I added cords with beads and a buttonholed curtain ring for the closure and stitched some pearly buttons onto the top tiles and Hey Presto! This is quite a quick method. It took me longer than it should have done because there was a lot of experimenting with the needle felted tiles and the buttonhole stitching took a while because the fabric was so stiff. If I used this method again I would put a piece of thin card in the base, because the vilene isn't firm enough. I still prefer the 'old fashioned, traditional' method of covering and lining individual pieces of thick card and then ladder stitching them together but this is a quick, simple method with a minimum of hand stitching and no thick card to cut. There are very clear, easy to follow instructions and lots of good ideas for using this method in this book:

Yep, still playing with the new thinlits die that will be in the upcoming Stampin'Up! Holiday Catalog, going live on August 28th! One witch I used the new Tree Punch for the triangular hat and the other witch uses the Circles Collection framelits for the hat base and then I made my own triangles for the top. As in my snowman, the hat just slips over the box handles making it easy to reach the treats inside. The "hair" is pulling threads from the Burlap Ribbon. My witch color is Old Olive.

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends! Today I'm going to share the SUPER FUN Halloween Treats that I made for my two daughters to take into their fellow co-workers for Halloween. My daughters work with some amazing PEEPS and like it when I include treats for their peeps along with the holiday treats to the grandkids. Here is what I made for my daughters............ I made these fun mummy treats! They come together SUPER FAST with the help of a fun (now retired) Stampin' UP! punch. This punch was retired last year.....but it happens to currently be in the Stampin' UP! clearance rack and can be picked up for around $7.00. (http://KadieLabadie.StampinUp.net) To create these fun little mummies.....You just need to punch out two of the above punched images with Whisper White cardstock. I then assembled the bottom and sides together......Leaving the top open. Next I distressed the edges of the mummy holder and also of the 1/8" stripes of Whisper White cardstock (that I used to wrap several layers across the front panel to look like mummy wrapping). Here's a close-up of what the bottom of the mummy looks like! The mummy holds a Hershey nugget........ That I wrapped with a piece of Whisper White cardstock. The only other thing that needed to be done was to add a pair of goggly eyes to my mummy and he was DONE! So here's what the batch of mummies for my daughters looks like. SO STINKIN CUTE and SO STINKIN FUN to make! Thanks for joining me today! I'll be back tomorrow to share with you the Halloween Treats that I made for my five California grandkids. Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share. Keep Living Your Dream!

Wrapped in Plaid 6" x 6" patterned paper is gorgeous tartan and gold lined and makes lovely 3D projects as is really sturdy. These pyramid treat boxes are just folded, no glue, no cutting just one sheet of 6" x 6" dsp. They are fairly easy to make and once you have had a few goes they will become easier. I suggest the first one you make with some copy paper or scrap paper and then when you have the folds perfected then make them in any patterned paper you choose. I love these for Christmas and would have them scattered around the bottom of the tree or in a basket filled with little gifts or sweet treats to give out at Christmas. They would also work as party favours or wedding favours . The shape is what makes these little boxes so cute. Here is the step by step video tutorial which will show you how to make these pyramid treat boxes. * Video Goes live Tuesday 17th September at 7 am MY NEW SHOP FRONT IS NOW LIVE - CHECK IT OUT HERE
