Judikins Dragonfly Card and Necklace Gift Box...

Hello,

Today's project - Necklace Gift Box and matching card feature a beautiful silver embossed dragonfly image stamped using Judikins Dragonfly stamp.  Also featured on this card is Circle Trio from Kaszazz.

The backgrounds for both the Card and the cover of the Gift Box were created using Ranger's Distress Inks. These backgrounds were then multi layered with silver, white and blue cardstock to the box and the card base.

"Happy Birthday" is stamped from Kaszazz Mini Messages Happy Birthday set and the "50" is from Age Birthday set also by Kaszazz.

The cardstock insert of the Gift Box is angled so the Necklace hangs nicely for presentation. White ribbon with a silver stiched edging and rhinestones complete this set.

When Gift giving, it's all in the presentation...

See you soon,

Covered Notebooks...

Hello,

Sharing some more of our covered notebooks - soft covered, hard covered and spiral versions. I used a selection of card, patterned papers, stickers, embellishments, ribbons, rhinestones and pearls to decorate the covers of the notebooks.

First the soft covered - these notebooks have an elastic band closure...

Next the hard covered...

Finally, a spiral bound notebook...

Usually, when I decorate the covers of notebooks, I try to keep the embellishments fairly flat (not too many dimensional layers) in case you need to carry your notebook in your bag.

I am hoping for a crafty day today and I hope you have one planned too!

Thanks for visiting

Card Folders...

Hello,

I have had these kraft and white folders in my stash for quite awhile - they are precut and scored with a pocket type flap inside, so I decided to create a set of 4 cards with envelopes for each folder...

Choosing from my stash of patterned papers, I created 4 cards, co-ordinated the cover and the inside pocket flaps.

Before adhering the covers to the front of the folders, I attached a ribbon to be used to tie the folders closed.  I decided to create the cards as blanks so they can be used for any purpose.

Great to see you,

Back again soon,

Cherish Mini Album, Baby

Hi

These Baby mini albums are proving very popular, so here is the latest one created, this time for a girl.

I used a variety of papers, and added lots of pockets, tags, and fold out pages. Plenty of space for photos, mementos and other details. An embroidered badge was added to the front cover, and an assortment of die cuts added to the pages. Ribbons, twine, washi tape and rhinestones were added, and glossy accents used to highlight some items. The album is bound with rings.
Where stamps are used, they are from Kaszazz.

Enjoy this little book
until next time
