Happy Sunday Everyone!

Hope you are enjoying a warm

and cosy, relaxing weekend.

It is wet, cold and........yes, you've

got it..........blowing a hooley!

Anyone got just two of the three?

Aren't you the lucky ones?!

Take a look at Craftyfield's mini

tutorial using those lovely little

boxes from Tando

"Since the Craft Barn was having a sale

 in January, I grabbed a few bits and 

pieces... I wanted to explore the possibilities 

offered by the Cubbeys with aperture and 

this is what I made  

The cubbeys need to be slotted 

and glued together but, 

depending on your chosen finish,
you will need to decorate first. 

I decided to go for paper rather than 

paint as I love the look of the

 Kaisercraft Basecoat papers and thought

 they would be perfect for my "inside walls".

The photo shows the pieces already

 papered on one side 

(what will be the inside") 

and the outside papers ready 

to be glued on the made-up cubbeys.

 I wanted to exploit the apertures 

and decided to use acetate as windows. 

One is inspired by churches stained 

glass windows, another is looking out on 

a landscape, both stamped and

 coloured with glass paints. 

The third one is a piece of printed acetate.

 Of course the point of it all is to

 see the sun streaming through and

 projecting coloured shadows... 

I am planning to showcase my cubbeys

 on a window sill for free and eco-friendly

 lighting, but you could always place

 it anywhere with a small candle behind

 (electric preferably).

I placed a few embellishments I made 

with paper clay, some Kaisercraft flourishes 

and other crafty treasures from my stash

 on the larger side of the cubbeys."

Love the sun streaming through 

the windows Craftyfield.  Thank you

for this inspiring tutorial.

I'm sure you all know that the SALE 

continues throughout February.  I'm

off to see if anything more has been

added and of course I shall need to

check out the Tando section..........!

'Till tomorrow
