Sliceform Snowflake Happy New Year Card

Time to get crafting with this time-sensitive Twixtmas project - a sliceform snowflake Happy New Year greeting. Make it today, post it a.s.a.p. - and surprise its recipient in the New Year. This flat-pack Snowflake card conveniently fits into a C6 envelope.

If you have never assembled a sliceform, then this card makes for a friendly intro to a nifty papercraft phenomenon - where craft meets mathematics. 

Here is your free Happy New Year greeting:

To assemble:

1 Print and cut sliceform components.

2 Glue like pieces back-to-back, aligning edges. You can use a glue stick or thinly-applied PVA glue.

3 Join the centre slots of the the two base pieces.

4 Insert pieces to either side (slots at bottom of piece). Turn the structure over.

5 Insert the remaining pieces to either side. (You will have to gently clear the way and coax the pieces into place - that's why it's called paper manipulation!) 

6 Flatten the hinges to fold the sliceform flat. Fits into a C6 envie. Gift tag included.  

Have a happy and creative 2019! Have fun learning new craft techniques - this is my first sliceform (been meaning the crack them for ages). :D

Mitten Milk Carton '18

Here's a cute gift packaging idea that can be used beyond Christmas and into the new year - a mini milk carton with a mitten motif. 

Here is your free gift box:

To assemble: print, cut, score the fold lines. Crease the fold lines. Seal the side tabs with d/s tape, tuck in the base closure. Fold the top of the milk carton, folding in the "eaves" and securing the top closure with d/s tape.

Season's Greetings - have a happy and creative '19!

Mitten Pillow Box

Need some last-minute gift packaging? Here's a super-cute pillow box with a pair of mittens motif, plus gift tag. There's a bit of playful dimensional interest - the mittens extend beyond the box edge. : ) It's snowing in the background!

Here's your freebie gift box:

As you can see from the pic above, the colours are much more cheerful than my low-light photography would have you believe!

Have a great holiday season!
