BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE 57.......Y IS FOR YEARS AND OR YELLOW

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.

Today is the start of another

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE

and the theme this time around is Y for years and or yellow.

So as I had something made up in yellow I thought I would enter it, but I don't have any of the years part on it.

It's another one of my tissue boxes which I have been making for the stall I am doing at my daughter's works fund raising event.  

 These are so easy to make.

For the base it takes 3 A4 sheets of card.

I buy my tissue boxes from the supermarket starting with T, and they measure just under 5" tall, and 4" one side, and 4 and half inches the other side.

I cut down 2 A4 sheets of card to 5" and then I score at half an inch, 4 " and 9 and half inches on my Hougie board.

You cut off the rest that is left over, and glue together.

The lid is slightly over 6" by slightly over 6 and half  inches, and you score one inch around all sides, and this makes the lid.

Don't forget to make your aperture before you glue the sides of the lid as I have done that a few times. LOL.

Then it's ready to decorate how you like.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time as I do know time is very precious to all of us.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BUUTERFLY CHALLENGE AND SNIPPETS CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Sorry I have been missing for a few days, but it's half term, and Nanny to the rescue for child minding, and we did our usual baking too.
I must admit they are getting so good at it, and they take after someone. LOL.

Well last night I made a card for the Butterfly Challenge.

This is a 6"x6" size card.
Now recently I was very tempted, and bought the Aqua Spectrum Pens, which I have been wanting for ages.
So all this blue is done with those, but beware use gloves or you get blue hands for a few days.
I made the background paper with them, and then stamped all over it with them and my stamp.
I cut out a few flowers, and decoupaged them.
The butterfly die I won on the Butterfly Challenge isn't it pretty.
Coloured my ribbon also with the ink left over from making the paper.
The lace and the die cuts are my snippets.
So I'm off to the playground with this to see what antics everyone is up to while our lovely Miss Di, and Parsnip have a rest for this week.

Thank you so much for your visit.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
