OLD ENVELOPES ALL FIXED UP..

Hello everyone,

Sunday afternoon while writing this post and the wind is howling outside..we are having a Summer storm and not too warm either..but, I'm in my room all cosy and just finished a project using up some envelopes using double sided papers that I made last year or even the year before and just never got round to doing anything, well, maybe once in a while I did, but still had plenty to play with..

These little card stock panels were in my stash, I think I was under the illusion

that they were going to at least A5, but they are only half that,

so they got put away and never used...until now.

these are the envelope I made using My Minds Eye 12x12 papers

The card ( only the brown ) with trimmed corners

popped inside the envelopes and NOT trimmed down, I wanted them sticking up.

This shows the back and front and how much

they are sticking up over the top..

and now ephemera time with these gorgeous Mintay ephemra flowers

and light bulbs, some dragon flies and number panels..

these were from my Son at Christmas, clever boy.

so after inking the brown panels with black ink and crazy stamps

I popped the flowers and whatnot where I thought I wanted them..

I finished one completely first and just love it..

Out of the envelope....then went for it..

almost half way through and still loving every minute.

getting through these too..

Before I knew I had nineteen done..NINETEEN!!

that is unacceptable so whipped up a spare..

which use up nearly everything left..

And done..20 envelopes with tags and florals..

Love them..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

See you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx

SEEING RED ..DT

Hello everyone,

It's LITTLE RED WAGON time, yep, Wednesday has rolled around again and our lovely Brenda is hostess and her theme is " I'm seeing red " - primarily red project.

My project started with these beautiful papers that Janette sent me for my birthday last year..

and I glued them down, inside and outside the card, and never changed a hair in their head.

and because I didn't want to cover anything I added a simple and not too big

white heart to write on..

On the outside a big red bold die cut LOVE and a heart.

Do come and bring your red projects, be it valentine or anything you want,

HERE

Well, that makes a change in my design and believe it or not nearly took me longer to than the fancy stuff, I kept over thinking..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon..

ATC's AND NUMBERS

Hello everyone,

Time for another set of ATC's and numbers, I love numbers, I can't add or multiply so much anymore, but I love using them in my projects and ATC's, as tiny as they are, are no exception for loads of numbers..

ATC card from my stash cut to size this time..

( notice the suspected stencil on the side )

Book pages

Gluing said pages onto to cards..and filing the edges.

Then the spraying began with vintage photo,

speckled egg, and cracked pistachio..by TH

Once dry and pulled out the labels and tags of similar colour from my stash..

Tiny little stickers from Judycraft..they have numbers too..

This I think was Stampmeria papers, 12x12 of vintage office drawers

and every ATC got one..that was my starting point, as at this stage

I realised I forgot to stencil!!

so stickers, stickers and more stickers..

About five labels on each ATC layered up and all had numbers..

Out came my drawer with my own design numbers and discs with

numbers, and die cuts with numbers..

and when I thought I had 12 I actually had 14 ATC's

and this is what I'm entering into Tag- Along ( and ATC's ) ( Numbers )

then I had these package flaps I suppose and my ATC's needed a home..soooo...

I picked some papers..

cut little panels for the flap, glue it done

and poked my ATC's inside..

They were perfect for them..

Even the odd two out found a home with the ruler sticker packaging

just cut to size, covered it and glued it.

DONE!!

Another lot of ephemera for journals or whatever without even thinking about..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you Wednesday..

WHAT TO DO..

Hello everyone,

What to do on a rainy day, when there is no mojo and

orders are all done..

I MAKE EPHEMERA..

and decorate sticker pouches..

These pocket pouches had stickers in them nd

just too good to toss and didn't want to spend hours covering them.

so I used number stickers to cover the barcode

so quick and easy and then added little people stickers

that came inside the pouches

and done..

patterned paper is next and I made envelopes..

then these little things, I think I've used on already

but they make a fabulous pouch for the front of a journal, or inside,

I added a closure that I learned to make, but didn't,

these are shop bought and had them in my stash forever..

another envelope and this time I lined it and

dealt with the flap.

using a big brush marker from Faber Castel

I went around the edges to look like a black envelope.

made a punched circle closure and used a small velcro dot

and before the sun came out, I had all these to play with..

So there you go..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon..
