PROJECT # 2

 Hello everyone,

Hope you had a good weekend and another great week ahead..

I've been in my craftroom every day and still playing with new stuff [ to me] and I was also given something to play with....business cards, about 500 of them and also gift cards no longer need and about the size of a large tag, so been getting them ready to play with..


Here they are...


I rounded all the corners on each one then glued two together..


Inked around the edges..



and popped on these cute clear washi stickers..punched a hole
ready for an eyelet or maybe just twine, ribbon or string, maybe even ball chain with danglers on it.....okay that's another project coming up, so we will see..




so simple and yet really pretty..


There were a few choice words with some as they didn't peel quite so easy.


anyway I made a bunch of them.


and was very happy..




and the fit perfectly inside the envelopes I shared..




Moving on to the big gift vouchers cards..

The splotchy part is the back of these cards and really nice..


I didn't need to touch the backs but added brown kraft paper on the fronts..
after rounding the corners..


Really happy how they came out and it gave me plenty to play with..


The kraft I mentioned is actually paper not card stock..


It was really annoying as I didn't read the label, loved how it was so cheap for a pack, bought it, and it was paper, BUT it all worked out for these and have whittled my way through the packs by doing this, gluing it onto card stock..




Nice..


started making the black tabs for the tops and Holly dropped in, I mean DROPPED in, 
and lay there for quite awhile..


so, I cut these tabs, rounded the four corners..


folded over the top of the tags and punched a hole..


all ready to go, how neat is that..
I added eyelets to some and finally working that new crop-a-dile
to death..I think it needed to warm up a bit, but got it now..

So, there we go, getting so much prep done and
 steadily working on something else now..
I've gone all vintage now......................I suppose if the age fits.
Thank you so much for stopping by, I have heaps to share coming up and 
really having a great time..

See you tomorrow..

CAS CARD...DT

 Hello everyone,

I'm running a tad later with this post, I forgot what day it was, just too busy and neglected my duties [sorry girlfriends] because today is LITTLE RED WAGON  day and Imke is our fabulous hostess and her theme is something very much out of my comfort zone..CAS...she called it Easy Peasy CAS cards!!..

Slap my hand on my forehead, but I did it..


Made my base and found this clear "Thinking of you " stamp,
that little yellow blob front and center..


and my very well used red rubber stamp set..in a DVD case
not named ..


and I stamped...flowers and sentiment..


pretty straight too..


a hint of colour..


yellow as it is my favourite colour..


and done!!..from four to three.......I don't want to talk about that..lol..


So come on over with your CAS if you can


Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow..

PROJECT NUMBER ONE..

 Hello everyone,

This project is my number one project that is new to me, no dies, stamps, or anything but one sheet of 12 x12 paper and some scoring and folding and a l little edge inking..and what a fun time I had, in fact, I couldn't stop and even went smaller..

Here they are..


I told you I got carried away, 
I haven't used any yet, but I'm going to 
and I'm going to decorate them too...


you get four envelope or pockets with one sheet of paper..


First cut from corner to corner..


Put them back together and cut from corner to corner on other side..


Now you have four..


Score 4 and 8


fold on score lines..


Then a smy paper was not double sided and the paper changed if you noticed...lol..
I added old book pages inside..


Made sure it fit and not squashed..


Flipped it and trimmed it..


then inked the edge before you glue, makes life so much easier..


Then I made sure something fitter inside and used some left over
 from an Easter project and it fitted fine..


That led me to other papers and colours..


and then I had a lot...


When I was at the shops I found this gift wrapping paper..


and thought it had a floral strip,
 which is something I like, and now do, to a lot of my papers..


But when I got home and opened her up, she was double sided..
Well, call me a happy camper, so set to buy cutting it up..


I made my triangles and it was at this point
 when I thought I could cut them again and make them smaller.....so I did..


Are they not cute or what..


some had the checks inside..


Score, ink , fold and glue..


Some had the check inside...


some had the floral inside...


and I still had this much left over,
 enough to make two or maybe more cards..


I love how tiny these are and will look lovely tucked into flowers on cards..


and then another thought I had..


I have a die that makes these tiny tags ...so......


I cut a bunch of them up..


they fit perfect...


I inked them and then stamped them with a script stamp
here and there...


So chuffed...


Added some string through the holes and I was done..

So. there you go..
Thank you so much for stopping by
I'll be back with another project which was a very knew to me project, so see you soon..
