Lighting of the candle

I here today with another chirstmas card using both 

Alota Rubber Stamp and Make the cut

Cut on the Zing

Round boxes (as seen on Webinar 28th August 2012)

Here is a quick and easy way to put together a Round

box.

Make the Cut pattern HERE

LETS BEGIN

When designing it I put the base to the right and the lid to the 

left . To make the base I take the top side pannel on the 

right of the mat and the very right circle

Fold the tabs in at the score line and with your fingers 

give the side some shape

Now glue and the end tab (when making lesson I did not 

allow mine to dry before letting go )

Now put glue aroung the Edge of the circle piece

And place it face down in your side of the box 

(protect your work surface with some

 backing paper of something (I didn't) )

now push around the edge with your finger 

all way round

Turn it upside down

Now add the second circle to the right of the mat to the 

bottom of that

And you have your base of your box made

You are left with these on your mat

take the side strip and right circle

and fold the tabs and shape the side with your fingers

join side into a circle

drop the circle with glue all around edge in face down

push down well

turn over and get the last circle of mat

And add to the bottom of base

Finished your BOX

Lid fits well

Adding a bigger base to box you now have a 

hat shaped box

add ribbon and bow

Oh and this idea can be not only for round boxes 

but can be oval boxes as well

You can make the wall of the lid  shorter if you like too 

My own SLICEFORMS from over the years

Sorry I am not ready to share these patterns  but thanks for 

coming to look

Kit robot Clock (now not a clock

A while a go I brought this Kit Robot 

and I have just recently put it together 

BUT THEN  As I am already being driven crazy

by the sounds of ticking clocks 

I turned it into a photo frame and 

put of picture of neal in it 

No longer a clock  better 

as a picture frame

Paper balloon

I really like Hot Air Balloons and have been to a few festivals

around Australia. Back in March I found a wonderful site 

called Paper Matrix which makes wonderful paper balloons 

so I gave it a try making one (without watching video on how to 

put together ) Here is what i made LOTS of loose areas in it 

but i am happy with it BUT now I have watched how it is made

I am going to sit down and make another and hope for

better outcome.

Plus now i know what make the cut can do i can edit pattern

a lot easier 

HOW to makeup the POP UP Display card with MTC Pattern and SVG pattern for others

Here it is the pattern from the webinar of 

the 14th Ausgust 2012. and I added the putting together 

instructions as well (images are all ALOTA rubber stamps) 

But watching the webinar and seeing how easy it is you

will be able to put lots of diferent edges on it and make it 

special give it a try it is not that hard at all 

Lets BEGIN

HERE IS THE PATTERN For MAKE THE CUT
HERE IS THE SVG PATTERN (right click and save as )

These two are cut this way so as they cut using a 12"

x12" card stock

Overlap and join together

Fold the outer two inwards

And the middle the other way so as you now have a 

W

Now is when you add your top layer as after the next step it will

never lay flat again  I used ALOTA rubber stamps for mine

Used some of the waste off cut to bring the colour of the 

card into the image

Glued all in place

Then you start folding the first one goes this way

Next one folds the other way so they are back to back

So they are all now like this

fold your strips in half length ways

Add tape two to the outside of the v and one to the

inside of the  v

Take one of the outside V's and add to the side 

of the first image

Then conect the other side picture

So it is looking like this both sides

now with the inside v  like this behind

Finsished your card

And even folds for posting
