Covered Mini Notebooks

Here's a fun way to use gel plate printed papers to cover mini composition notebooks.  Of course, patterned papers can be used too! 

  They're great to carry in your purse or car or give as gifts! 

I give more details with step out photos on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog HERE.

Masculine Birthday Card

Hello friends!

A change in style....definitely more grunge!

I created this card for my son's birthday.  It's personalized to his day.

It's posted on Scrapbook Adhesives Blog HERE.  More details and a list of supplies that I used can be found there.  

I started with round gauge by adding 3D Foam Circle around it and embossing it with Distress Prize Ribbon Glaze.  While it was hot from embossing, I pressed a needle tool into the to add ridges. 

The card evolved from that gauge and number "13" both from an Idea-ology Halloween Layers ephemera package.  Sometimes, I just the creative vibes lead me!

I put Prize Ribbon Glaze on photo corners to add to 2 corners and as little "arrows" on the side.  

Lots of layers of stamping and inks on the background.  Something I haven't done in a long time but truly enjoy!

Pumpkin Gnomes

 Hello!  

Today, I'm sharing some Pumpkin Gnomes!  Aren't they cute?

These are all on one stamp perfect for a slim line card.  

I used Distress Oxide ink re-inkers as watercolor to paint them.  I added some Rock Candy Glitter to the white hat brims and pompoms. It didn't photograph well though.

The center gnome is cut out and popped up with 3D Foam Squares.

A Countryside Fall Card

Hello!  Here's a fun Happy Fall card!  

I stepped out of my usual color scheme for this card.  I love how it turned out! 

I used Sizzix by Tim Holtz "Countryside" die set.  Love the little houses! I cut those out of white cardstock and colored them with markers.

Here's scrapbook page for First Day of School for my granddaughter, a new school and new year. She loves it!

 All papers, stickers and embellishments are from Simple Stories Collections Essentials Kit "School Life".   Colors worked so well with Laurens outfit!

It's been awhile....

 Well, it's certainly been awhile since I posted here!  It seems I occasionally post to Instagram or Facebook and forget about my blog.  

I'm always making something....just not always taking photos!

Here's a project I made for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L for September.

It's a folio style card somewhat like a billfold.  It folds to card size and can easily be mailed.

I used papers and stickers from Simple Stories Collections Essential Kit "Happily Ever After".  I added some 3D Foam Hearts from Scrapbook Adhesives and put foil on them.

Step out directions are on Scrapbook Adhesives blog post for September 13, 2021.  Click HERE to go there.

Handmade Fabric Cover Journal

 I love making handmade books so last spring I joined the Handmade Book Club. It's managed by Ali Manning of Vintage Page Designs.  It's been a wonderful place to learn about book making.  So far I've completed 5 books and have one in progress.   

This is my most recent journal.....

I made this for the Fabric Journal Challenge, five days of video instructions with all the how-to to make this style journal with a fabric cover.  I used quilting cotton to make book cloth for the cover.  The pages are Mohawk Superfine Text paper that's ideal for writing.  Beautiful paper for signatures!

It was amazing to see all the variety of journals created for this challenge...hundreds of journals with no two alike!

Happy Crafting!
