Hello everyone,
My daughter in law works at my Son's garage, he is the mechanic, and they get all sorts of boxes, and packets, and stuff which they pass to me and say, do something..even car filters, I've and a wee play will share later..
Today, I'm sharing these cute folder things and show what I did with them..
.jpg)
These are the little folders, they held something mechanical, I don't know..
and these arrived from Temu,
I don't like the white edges, but there are loads of them, and they are stickers..
So, I inked them a bit and the inked bit sort of went into the background..
I covered these little folders in old book pages,
and inked up with the right brown!!!!!
added some kraft pockets, some small plant washi tape stickers here and there..
and then just went silly, with washi stickers, all sorts, no theme,
just added them in clusters..
layer over each other..
and just keep going..
See how the man blends a bit better..
I made tags and used my ball chin to link up, that was fun.
The number is the negative of what I call my army numbers??
Clipped everything together and clipped onto the card.
and there we go..Front..
Inside..
Backside..

And standing up, I love them, easy and fun..
sort of like tags
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow with a DT project..
Luv CHRISSYxx

These look fabulous Chrissy, amazing what you can create with a bit of imagination, ink, papers and stickers- you REALLY are having fun!
xx
As always Chrissy I am amazed at these fantastic projects that you create I don't think I could work with such small items I would be all finger and thumbs it takes me ages just to attach some pearls, lol. I love these little tags the covering of old paper is the perfect start the blending and distressing with the 'correct' brown looks fab those little figures the little envelopes and the washi items all go to make something that is normally thrown away into something that can be used as a gift or even decorate something bigger I like the chain that you have attached the even smaller tags and numbers to they look like army dog tags thanks to you I have even started looking at craft items on Temu just to see what I am missing. Well done on this brilliant work of art
hugs
lolo x
Oh how fun! What a cool idea to use for this fun little projects! The images and details for this look amazing and great for popping in a little gift card or something too! Before my hubby retired, he always came home with some of the weirdest package items or left over wanting to know if I would be able to use them. I had a box full of things that I pull from once in a while. Thanks for your great inspiration my friend!
these are looking great Chrissy love the vintage look.......gr karin
We are told over here not to go on temu or tik tok, so I stay on amazon, lol. I like your little booklets very much how they turned out! I have to wonder, what do you do with all that you make like this? Sell them? Gift them? Our house has no more wall or shelf space, I've covered everything with my makes, even changing them out. I'm learning to appreciate being a very slow crafter, hahaha. XOX
Trash to definite treasure! Love these, Chrissy. What great little ephemera pieces.
These are amazing, Chrissy! They are truly trash to treasure. I love the vintage feel.
You are just so clever with these packaging. I do love your idea to tone down the white around the stickers, it sure made a lot of difference and blended in much better with the background. Great layering of all the washi too!
