SpringWatch Giveaway for today – Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies – details on how to enter at the bottom
Oh yes, it’s here. Project number 3 for the Twist and Close Collection. And this is possibly my favourite. It’s certainly the one that looks the most complicated and has had quite a few of you baffled as to how I made it….
I shared it on my facebook page and my instagram page, and there were a lot of jaw-drop emojis going on!!! But as ever, I really don’t do complicated if I can possibly help it. I want you running to craft, not running away!
And not everything need be complicated…. it just needs to look brilliant. And this ticks those boxes!!!
I have many more variations on this particular Twist and Close mechanism planned, but not during SpringWatch, you’ll have to wait for them in the months to come!!
And like the previous 2 projects, this has it’s own styling of paper too with that fantastic Party Animal print and the cool balloons. This is a suite that was a bit of a slow burner for me, but now I can’t stop using it!!
Have a great Friday everyone, 5 projects down, 9 to go…!

Hi Sam..greetings from a rainy but still beautiful San Farancisco California. I love all your boxes and I have made some to use as gift holders. Everyone who gets a box is amazed, as I am, that I made it. I always give you credit. Wondering how I might make this exact box shorter…do you reply to these comments?
Have a great day

Hello Sam. 3 lovely boxes, I will make them to a easter bazar i´m going to in April. Looking forward for next week. Have a nice weekend.
how do you find time to think up these fab ideas loving them
Another wonderful box. I can’t decide which to use for Valentine’s goodies, so I might just do all 3 of these. Thanks for all the great ideas. You rock!
Love this box. I will be making some for Valentines Day! Thank you so much, you are such an inspiration for me!
Hi Sam,
Whee this one was a bit of a challenge but I finally got it to stay shut. I did the bottom first using a hexagon jar that I have, and then the top fell into place. Great boxes…love them.
I had some jars in my stash and this box will house them beautifully. Thank you for all your wonderful inspiration!
Absolutely gorgeous, love, love, love it.
Another useful box Love the colours These boxes have given me incentive to try some myself Thank you
