ENVELOPE FOLIO

 Hello everyone,

I've done the grandson bit and was quite tired after he left, he is so easy to watch as he is old enough,BUT, it still makes you tired and good to put your house back how you like it..

Onto todays project..I made another folio....from envelopes.

These are the papers I pick out to use up A5

Two black envelopes with flaps facing toward each other..

Connect with a trimmed piece of the pattern paper..

Then add two more, one on each side the flaps glued to bottom of envelope..

and line the insides..

When outer envelopes clos decorate the glued bit..

covered the front

gave it a notebook

then decorated it with Mintay Ephemera

Made my own screw..die cut a small circle in grey

 and made a black line down the middle..

and sewed in the signature

and glued some book pages inside the cover

A belly band was added to the front of the folio 

and a perfect place to slide the journal in..

All opened up and time to decorate inside..

with loads of stickers and stamps and used quite a bit ephemera

that I had made in the past like pouches with tags inside..

and done..

Thank you so much for stopping by

I'll be back with a DT project tomorrow..

EPHEMERA DAY TWO..

 Hello everyone,

So day two was a very successful day too making ephemeras and I'm going to share with you and hoping I don't repeat a few things as I mixed up the photos so I'll do my best..

These packaging panels are the easiest ever to use up.

Fold the top down, glue,  flip and trim and throw sticker numbers on them and 

done..

I make this design with these panels a lot because I buy too much stuff..

but I make sure I use it all up..

side packaging, cover and serve.

decorate with papers and stickers.

left over circles from the specimen files I made

and going to use everyone of those, no waste.

these were ATC's that were too small and I added another card

and made a fold and have used them quite often..

these ones were leftovers and decoded to use up my circles on them..

So I did.

and made them into half circle pockets and added tiny tags.

I had some tiny tags already stamped so only had on to do and messed it up, 

one job Chrissy !!!

these papers needed to be used up and was quite happy to find some sheets were pictures, vintage pictures to be cut out so that was fun and useful..

The brown tags were left overs too and added papers on, inked them up, 

and popped on some of those pictures and stamped.

theses sheets turned out to be stickers.

So I chopped them up for extra things..

I also reached out for my stencils and put paste through those

 for extra dimension and interest..

Even though I messed up here too they looked interesting

and in the end I had all these to play with and add to journals.

Remember these frames, the negatives from the labels I cut..

I made use of those too..

All these papers need to be used up

so glued a few onto black card stock and made panels

and already to make....what?

Identification labels, for journal or anything you want, or just keep

 making them until you have a box full and a happy heart.

Lots of stamping and inking for the aged loo..

and my days were done..

I have plenty to go on with but you know as well as I do, I wont stop there or maybe not use them all, but as long as I have them,I'm happy..

so there you go..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx
