ABC Spiral Notebooks - Die-namics Apple Die...

Hello,

As soon as I saw the Apple Die from Die-namics mftstamps, I knew I had to buy it! An apple for the teacher was all I could think of! I have used this die many times including on the covers of the following notebooks...

Using a selection of patterned papers various brands, cardstock, washi tape, brads and rhinestones, I have created these fabulous covers for the A5 sized spiral notebooks.

I have also outlined the apples using glitter stardust pens for some added detail.

According to google search...

While the true origin of this small red gift is somewhat of a mystery, the apple is a powerful symbol of knowledge and education. ... According to Gourmet, in the 1700s, poor families in Denmark and Sweden gave teachers baskets of apples as payment for their children's educations.

Interesting fact...

I wonder if your teacher would like an apple today?

Covered Notebooks - Kaszazz Gentlemen's Business, Kaisercraft Decorative Bird, Stampin' Up Greenhouse Garden...

Hello,

Sharing with you some more covered notebooks - these are so user friendly - cover embellishments are created with minimal layers so notebooks can travel quite easily in your handbag/workbag.

From back left: notebook covers 1 and 2 were created with patterned paper, Glasses/moustaches cover was created using Kaszazz stamp set Gentlemen's Business, Cherries is a patterned paper and Kaisercraft's Decorative Die - Bird was used with washi tape to create the next cover.

Front from left: Stampin' Up's Fabulous Florets stamp set was used for the first cover and Stampin' Up's Greenhouse Garden stamp set for the next cover.

Inside the cover of each notebook, I have created a pocket which holds two tags.

I must admit I think I have an addiction to notebooks! Do you?

Hope to see you again soon.

Covered sticky notes

Hi

For today I am sharing with you the latest batch of covered sticky notes created for our market stall.

The larger notes have been embellished with papers, stamped and fussy cut images and stickers of various types, and finished off with brads and bling.

The smaller notes, as well as all the above, have bling flourishes, die cuts, ribbon and paper flowers.
These make a great small gift, and are much more attractive near the phone than the plain notes.

Enjoy

Post-it note covers

Hello

I am sharing today some covers made for the small post-it sticky note pads.

 

These covers have all been created using stamps by Kaszazz.

 

Heartfelt Creations stamps and dies were used here.

 

The final three have used Dees flower dies and the cat is an IO die.








Though I have created in small size here, these ideas could easily be upscaled and with the addition of a sentiment would make great card fronts.
