I'm In Brussels!


Yay!  I'm in Brussels for Stampin' Up!'s Annual Convention.  Several hundred demonstators from across Europe meet to swap ideas and tips plus we get loads of amazing training.  I'm here with a fab group of girls too!
We make swaps - a card or 3D project to exchange with other demos and this gives us some great ideas to copy and adapt.  This year, I've copied a cute little bag I saw from Pootles in our Trim The Tree Paper Stack.  I've punched out some stars to make it into a little lantern.  Here's how I punched the stars in order to line the up.

I'll be back soon! x


No need to cut the paper - just use one whole sheet of the paper stack (6 1/2" x 4 1/2")  With the long side at the top, score at 1, 2, 3 & 4".  Turn and score at 1".  Fold along the score lines and cut out the little skinny rectangle in the corner.  Cut up the other scorelines up to the 1" score line then punch out your stars as shown in the pictures. Put adhesive along the long skinny edge (on the right side), fold over and stick to the other edge.  Finally fold up the bottom of the box and secure with adhesive.  x
