Hello Oddies,

I have a large blog post for you this time because I made you a tutorial on how to make this kind of gift box.

First, I have used a mermaid digi stamp for this one, Mermaid Bath. I did some practicing coloring her tail with my Distress inks, it’s rainbow-colored and it turned out exactly how I wanted it to be!

I chose a matching paper, it’s so colorful. I don’t know how it is with you guys, but with sea-themed cards, I always put on an anchor.

As it’s a gift box, I found this text stamp that fit perfectly! You can put candy treats in it or treats for a perfect spa-day, like mini-shampoo or bubbles bath.

On her tail, I put some water drops using Dimensional Magic from Mod Podge.

Now the tutorial……

I have used a piece of designer paper cut to 25 cm x 16.5 cm.

Taped the short ends together…

Then tape one open end together so you get this….

Put whatever gifts you want inside then tape it closed. I used these clips to close it temporarily as I don’t know who this gift bag will be for.

But then you can embellish your box!

So, I hope you like it and of course… I hope to see more gift boxes on Facebook!!

Have a great day and lots of love from me,

Martine Bruinings

Hello everyone, Martine here again with a good looking card…as I say myself..lol.

I was in my bed, waking up, and thought: o yeah, I have to make a card today… I colored Fist Pump Tobie ages ago, on summer holidays I color many images, when it’s too rainy or too hot to do anything. I thought it was a great idea to let him jump out of the photo-frame, cool isn’t it?

So here you can see how I folded the card, do you want to know how? Scroll on!

Here’s how I made this step card…

  • Cut a piece of cardstock to 20x 14 cm
  • lengthwise, score your cardstock at 5.8, 10, and 14.2 cm.
  • measure 4 cm from the top and bottom and cut a perpendicular line between your scores at 5.8 and 14.2cm
  • Then fold the 4cm sections on the top and bottom inward, leaving the center section as normal as seen in the photo.

Hope you understand..lol.

So , this was my project. I hope you like him and I hope to see more of these in our community…

Have a great day.

hugs
Martine

Hey Mae is a fun digi stamp so I wanted to give it an equally fun background.

For the alcohol ink background, I used Wild Plum, Dandelion, Coral, Aquamarine and meadow on Yupo paper.

Want to see how I did it? Enjoy this tutorial and try an inky background for your next Odd masterpiece!
