Summer Garden

I made another folio to use up some stash

and the basic album was made up from

some white envelopes.

The papers were from 

We R Memory Keepers and they came with

little envelopes, words tags etc.

I added lace, metal corners,

washi tape and flowers from

my stash to help dress it up.

I used a stamp set called

Love this Moment (SU),

one from Studio Light grunge stamps

and butterflies from Winged Delights

AALL & Create.

You can watch a flip through here

I will be filling this one with photos

of any craic we have during the summer

in the garden.

Country Christmas

Happy Monday!

I got myself a much needed

Christmas paper pack from Anna Marie

Designs so had to crack it open and make

a Christmas card!

I used a piece of the background and

added some lace, then machine stitched

around the edges.

I die cut a wreath from a Tutti Designs die

then a die cut circle which I stamped

and coloured using a

Studio Light stamp set called Winter Wonderland.

I added lots of glamour dust and stamped

some small snowflakes in the background.

I then stamped the sentiment ticket

from the same set and inked up the edges.

I die cut some snowflakes (Tutti Designs),

added them to the card and finished with

some gems, a bow and some natural fibres.

Faux postage stamps

With the little bit of leftovers I decided to make

some faux postage stamps to help

decorate my Traveller's Notebook.

Not much to work with but perfect sizes for

1 1/4" x 2" and  1" X 1".

I punched the large ones with an SU punch and the square

ones with a square die.

I set about stamping bits and pieces here and there

using stamps from Studiolight grunge and

some IndigoBlu and some SU.

I cut up any birds I could from the papers

and added them to the stamps.

I added some faux stitching around each one.

The rest of the leftovers were made into

two mini books, some punched candi dots

and very small butterflies.

That little pile on the right is what I have

left but I won't be binning them!

Another traveller's notebook

I had this pack of slightly used papers that

I won from Brenda many years ago

and always felt it was too nice to open.

I eventually did make a few cards and a

mini album but still had lots left so

decided to make a Traveller's Notebook.

This is the back view.

I did lots of sewing on this TNB and I

do like the effect as well as the

fact it makes it much sturdier. 

This is a view of the spine.

I was going to use an elastic closure

but changed my mind and filled the

hole with a brad.

You can watch a quick video walkthrough here.

Babysitting duties first thing this morning!

Wish me luck. Aimee is now a little

whirlwind who never sits still!!

More minis!

I have another little mini book for my daughter.

This one used the same papers from K & Co

but the pages inside were printed on copy paper

from My Porch Prints. I just used the pages with the

lines and some blank ones to stamp on.

I filled the blank pages with my stamped images

from two sets from Studio Light called

Floral Gems and Flowers & Butterflies.

I water coloured the images.

The front has been decorated using my stash

and I used a piece of ribbon for the closure.

You can watch a quick flick through here

or make one following this tutorial

I also made a few more but these were all printed

and then put together from

My Porch Prints
