Another Tim's Tag From Me Today

Good morning everyone, just a quick post with a few card, Tim's May tag and two cards I have made for Jellypark Post Pals.  

Papermilldirect are having a June Challenge and they are also offering 10% off all Special Offer card until 2nd June or until stocks run out.   To enter the competition, which is to win a box of Papermill card, you have to design a card with the theme "June" and post it to the Papermill blog.   To enter click HERE to check out more details.

Tim's Tag using Wild Honey and scattered straw distress inks, stains and paints, edged with old paper and vintage photo distress ink.  I had papers but decided to leave the background tiles plain I just liked the look of the tag with the Papermill buff card and the wild honey background.   May do another using the patterned papers if I find the time.  

Here are two cards to send to children through the Jellypark Post Pal scheme, you can check it out Here.  

Got to take Peter to the hospital today so that is all from me until this evening, have a lovely day everyone and don't forget to check out the Papermill offer and Competition.

How to make a pop up box card

Good evening everyone, hope you are enjoying the long weekend.  I have been catching up with some DT work and playing with all some inkiness, all of which I will show you over the next few weeks.  Just wanted to show you this pop up box card made with Papermill coloured card in various flowery colours.  

Pop up box cards are very popular at the moment, wherever you look there are so many in different sizes and subjects.  For all of you who want to have a go but don't known where to begin I have put together a tutorial showing you the basics for making one of these very addictive shaped cards, you can find it HERE on the Papermill blog.

I used Papermill coloured card in pastel colours, baby pink, daffodil yellow, new lilac and spring green for the base and the flowers.  The sides were covered with digital papers from Pink Petticoat printed onto Papermill white linen paper, Memory Box dies and a computer generated sentiment.

Off again to finish what I started this morning, I have the grandchildren for a few days and I'm sure they will help me.  Sophie has already asked for some card to make a guitar, goodness knows what she will come up with!!  Hope to get some commenting done this evening and check out what you have all been up to this weekend too.
