Welcome


Hello, my name is Dionne and I have been crafting for a very long time. As a very young child my mother tried to teach me to knit, it was a disaster. However, it must have sparked an interest in making things and, partly to prove that I was not totally useless and partly because I really wanted to make things, I taught myself to crochet. Over the years I have developed a love of cross stitch and all types of paper craft ..... I eventually even taught myself to knit.


I am married to a very understanding man, thank goodness, because I spend all my time either crafting, thinking about crafting or talking about crafting. I am hopeless at housework and dinner is often late!


Thank you for visiting my blog.

Christmas Box Pops

Box pops are a type of pop-up card from Hunkydory  You get two characters in each kit and, apart for the glue, you get everything to make a 3-D card.

I had a lot of fun making these but getting them to stay stuck in place can be a little tricky.  I gave up on the red double-sided tape and used Glossy Accents in the end.  Have you ever tried Glossy Accents as a glue?  It is very strong and it does not warp the card but it can get a bit messy, be careful.


This is Angelica the Angel.


Who comes paired with Sage the Wiseman.


This is Noel the Nutcracker.


And he comes in the same pack as Evergreen the Elf.


I almost forgot to tell you that they have nodding heads ... just like the dogs!

    Aren't these fun? I imagine they look great when they nod their heads. I think my favourite is the elf, he looks as if butter wouldn't melt! X

      I find it too hard to pick a favourite, they are all fabulous and they make all sorts of other Box Pops. My only complaint was that, once they were made, they did not fit in the envelopes provided.

      It's a great glue, isn't it? I have even stuck a little foot back onto my cooker lid with it and it is still holding fast. The advantage is that the lid is made of glass and Glossy Accents is clear, so you cannot see it.

      PS Box Pops aren't very high, only about 5 or 6 inches.
