Winter Tree Box Card

Recently, I was given a huge pile of used greeting cards, many of which cannot be recycled as they have glitter on them. So, this got me thinking ... Could I create some upcycled box cards out of them?

Quite a few of the cards were Christmas cards, so the first one that I created was this winter tree box card.

24oz Paper Teacup

Recently, I was asked if it was possible to create a large, 24oz teacup using my Teacup and Saucer favour box template. Not a problem, I replied, and to prove it, here's one that I made!

Ok, so I admit it doesn't look very interesting here, having been made entirely out of plain white cardstock, but it provided me with an enticing blank canvas to build upon ... 

And just look at it now!

Cornfield Box Card

Blue cornflowers are my absolute favourite wildflower, and together with poppies and ox-eye daisies, they create a magnificent display from late spring, all the way through until early autumn.

My latest pop-up box card takes these vibrant colours and mixes them with pieces of yellow corn to create this beautiful little cornfield design.


Perfect for birthdays, Mother's Day, get well soon or just as a thank you, the inspiration to create it came from this lovely card that I received from a friend of mine last year.
