Snowflake Gift Box

Today I made this pretty gift box. It is made using one of the inbuilt patterns on the Scan and cut machine. I made it bigger using the % feature on the SDX1200. I made it 122% which made it fill my 12x12 mat.

The snowflakes are also cut from a design on the scan and cut. I had to resize these as well. I shrunk them to 90mm and cut four. I cut mine in a thin silver embossed card, but adhesive sheets would also be a good option.

Once the snowflakes were stuck in place I simply folded the box up. No glue needed.

Until next time

Happy Crafting.

Celticmoon Crafts

I started Celticmoon Crafts quite a few years ago now. As a passionate crafter I wanted to share my ideas with others, so I started to design my own craft sheets. This is one of my favorite design sheets. I love anything Oriental. I produced 20 card making CDroms, covering a range of subjects. This was one of my first CDroms. I love digital crafting. Its much more economical than buying ready printed sheets. If you run put just print another sheets. Of course I have been known to run put of ink before which isn't always good. I made this card using one of my own designs. Anubis is my favorite Egyptian God. He gets a lot of undeserved bad publicity in my opinion. I've done a lot of craft fairs in the past. Sometimes they are very very good and sometimes very very bad. I have been to craft fairs where I have sold loads, and I have been to ...

The Great Pumpkin is on The Way

Like many people I am a great fan of the Peanuts Cartoon Strip, and in particular the ever lovable dog Snoopy. What would the Pesnuts Gang be without him?. Anyone who follows the adventures of the Peanuts Gang will know its almost time for The Great Pumpkin. According to Linus he comes every year delivering toys and gifts to the good boys and girls who sit in the pumpkin patch on Halloween waiting for him to arrive. Of course he eaits every year usually with Snoopy and The Great Pumpkin never arrives, but he never looses faith and every year he is back thete waiting. Halloween is still two months away, but of course we crafters have to get ready for it on lots of time. I am working on things for a craft fair but I am also trying to get things made to go into my etsy shop. You can check out my shop here Celticmoon Crafts Shop These cute little treat bags are going in thos week. They will be £1.50 each and come ...

Health Scare

I have been notably absent over the past couple of weeks. The reason is I have had a health Scare. I returned from the MPC Gala in Edinburgh at the begining of May and developed a niggly pain in my right foot. I thought I had overdone it a bit at the Gala so didn't take much notice. However the pain got worse and eventually I had to go and see my Doctor. She thought I may have a stress fracture and sent me for an X Ray to check. My X Ray showed a lesion on my toe joint that could not be identified. I was immediately referred to an Orthopaedic Oncologist. Then followed the worst two weeks of my life. As a nurse all of the worst case scenario's went through my head. Sometimes a little bit of k owledge is a bad thing. If I slept for 3 hours a night I was lucky. It was just hell. On Friday I finally went for my appointment. I am hugely relieved to say the specialist is certain the lesion is benign. I have to go for an MRI scan but he has no concerns. I do have a fracture which is ...
