 I chose a Whimsy Stamps red rubber stamp called "The Mailbox".  So appropriate for me having worked so many years for the post office!  

I stamped the image on watercolor paper and used watercolors to color it.  By using Thin 3D 

Foam Squares to fasten the matted image, it adds a bit of dimension to the card. 

The verse is from Whimsy Clear Stamp Set "Enjoy The Journey".  It's popped up with Thin 3D 

Foam Squares at top and 3D Foam Squares stacked with Thin 3D Foam Squares at the 

bottom.  

That allows it to lay flat as it laps over the image which is already raised and also fastens to the card front which isn't raised. It's easy to create the amount of dimension by layering different 3D Foam Squares.  

There are lots more details about making this card on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog today.

A Sewn Tapes Handmade Book

 I imagine most of you have seen pictures of this handmade book on FB or IG but just in case a few have missed it, I'm posting it here. 

With all the online art classes available since the pandemic, I discovered  a class by Ali Manning of Vintage Page Designs.  It was a week long class for making a Coptic sewn book.  I loved it!  I've always enjoyed making books of some sort. (I'll share the books I made for that class later)

Since the class, I joined the Ali's Handmade Book Club.  Every month she shares directions for making a different book.  I'm enjoying learning different book binding techniques.

This is the first book I made since joining the club.  The bookbinding technique is sewn tapes as the stitches cross over the tapes.  The tapes fasten to the cover through slits on the front and are glued to it on the back. End papers cover the tapes on the inside.

I used pieces from a wall paper border to cover the front and back covers. The tapes are twill tape.

It's sewn with linen thread.

The pages are inexpensive mixed media paper.  

I didn't quite expect it to turn out so well so I started with low cost supplies.

The wallpaper border is from the thrift store.  It blended well with the twill tape that I had on hand just waiting to be used!

Inside the front and back covers are pale green papers. These cover the inside of the covers and fasten near the spine to the first page of the book.  I cut pieces of paper to fit around the tape ends and behind the end papers so that tapes barely show through the end paper.

Thanks for stopping!
