    So adorable. Yes I tell people, you could keep it or throw it away. I don’t care lol. I did it as fun

    @dib3385 2 роки тому +1

    I couldn't agree more with your sentiments about things being thrown in the bin! As you say, we get the joy of making them. but we shouldn't attach any sentimentality to it, on behalf of the other person, otherwise we will always be disappointed or the other person will feel bad and may even ask you not to "take the trouble", then what...you'll probably start to feel even more offended lol!. Take pleasure from the making and giving, then let it go.

    Stop please! Every time I think of something to make you come up with another idea. This is so cute, I love it. I don’t know how I feel about people throwing out my creations. Part of me thinks they should save them & the other part says just throw it out. Thanks for sharing.

  • @angelawilson7206
    @angelawilson7206 2 роки тому

    Wonderful!
    Reminds me…we did a similar thing in oh, about 3rd or 4th grade (7 or 8 or 9 years old). It was a mail box, but for the base we used a Kleenex (facial tissue) box, using our little round-end scissors to open up and square off the top of the box - that was some tough cutting! Then construction paper for the big curved part over the top. I remember we had glued-on flags that stuck way up. We traced to get the end shapes, and the front had a crease at the bottom for a hinge. Ours were for Valentines!
    It was a small school in a tiny little town and art was once a week. The rule was that we each had to bring a Valentine for each person in our class-and everyone did. Some were made out of lined notebook paper and a thousand staples with markers that dried out in the middle of a letter. And then, some were the store-bought kind -2.5 inch x 3.5 inch cards in envelopes. So we gave the ugly ones to the kids we didn’t like! No glittered Disney characters for those stinky farm boys! (That would have been all of them, by the way.)
    Have to say, yours is much better! But I kept mine in my room until it fell apart. The glitter went first, and it went everywhere…of course…Thanks for the kick in the random access memory! You will be relieved to know that I will not be uploading any pictures to go along with the book!
    Thank you so very much for sharing your time, talent and expertise!

    This is fab Sam, I don’t know how you come up with all these ideas. I agree with you re what we make. I make cards etc because I enjoy it. I don’t expect people to save it. My children talk about me selling on Etsy. I don’t need the pressure of that. I make things because I enjoy giving something different and it gives me something to do in my spare time. Great tutorial and thank you for all your inspiration xx

    I agree with you 100% about not worrying if my creations will be kept. Not just the packaging but the actual gifts, as well. We don't all have the same taste and there will inevitably be misses. I'm lucky that there is a "free store" where I live. If people end up with something they don't want, they take it to the free store, where there's a good chance somebody will give it a home, at no cost. Over the years, I've seen a number of things I've gifted in the homes of people they weren't gifted to and I think it's great.

I plan on making 100 of them this year. They think I'm the creative one, but I give all the credit to you Sam. You're the best and I can't wait to see what you'll create next.

    @maryespeland9627 2 роки тому

    Very cute idea! I know what you mean about not worrying about whether you card gets tossed eventually. Sometimes I feel like these projects are such a piece of me, that it's hard to let go. But, when you see surprise and delight on the recipient's face, that's the "reward". Crafting and being creative gives me so much pleasure, and if it makes someone else happy as well, that's a wonderful thing. Keep all the wonderful ideas coming. You are keeping me busy! 🙂

    Love it, such an unusual gift box and so much fun. I agree with you because I do the same thing, I get so much pleasure in making your gorgeous cards and seeing the look on faces of sheer delight but I don't expect anyone to hoard them for ever. Some people don't appreciate handmade items, and are pleased with commercial product, and I am happy to oblige. but I am in my very happy place choosing card style, selecting the papers and putting colours to create something beautiful. Thank you Sam
