Card Holde or Box II

Hi Everyone!!!

Yep you guessed it, I had to try another one of these cute little Card Holder's/Box's... This one is a little more Girly, and I added a handle too.

The size is the same as the one I did on the 22nd so if you need info on how to make go to June 22nd.

This is the front view.....

This is the open view.......

and this is the side open view showing the dividers.....

I'm still working on how to make these work smoothly and have given a few to family and friends to try out and give me suggestions.  So if you see anything PLEASE let me know what you think.

Hope you Enjoyed!

Card Holder or Box

Hi Everyone!!

Today I did a new Card Holder or Box.  This is from the Splitcoast stamper #219 by Jane Matsumoto. Here's the link for the tutorial; http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/accordionstylecardholder/

Here are a few of the changes I made to Jane's version;

• 
  
  Mine is a little bigger to fit cards with envelops too
• 
  
  I used a decorative File Folder from Michaels rather than Pattern Paper
• 
  
  and to close it instead of a magnet which I did not have I used Velcro.

But all the rest is about the same.  I like the look, the only thing I'm not sure about is the sides seam to push out, but maybe when its full that will not happen... I'll have to see.

Here's a view of the holder front closed.

and this is the side view closed.

This is an open view showing the dividers I made with tabs.

Also you can see the Velcro tab at the top of the open flap.

And last is a view of the holder open from the side. 

I really enjoyed making this it was fast and easy.

This can be using to finish off a nice gift sets.

Hope you Enjoyed!

Don's Birthday!!!

Hi Everyone!!

It's been a few weeks since I've posted, but I'm back.... This weekend was Don's BD so hens the Manly BD card....

I've been wanting to use this beautiful CTMH stamp set (Beautiful Things D1298) I got Oh.... maybe 3 months ago.  Where does the time go?

Anyway here we are, I used Bamboo ink for the tree, and Desert Sand ink for everything else, even the sponging on the edges and all. I saw this idea in a book over a year ago and been wanting to try it.  Just mating the words section and do a second mate over the whole thing and Ripping around the tree only.  It just makes the tree look rugged.  The buttons are from my flee market buys and the ribbon was tied around washcloths, I know I would find a use for it.

Here's a shot of the card and the gift tag.

Here's the inside, yes its a gift card.  I just made a slit big enough for the gift card.  The back ground is also from the same stamp set as the tree on the front.

and here's the Gift tag. 

Cleo is the neighbors dog, and the gift was a Craftsmen tool called a Dog Bone wrench. 

That's way I put Cleo on the tag... to cute.

Will that's it for Today!!!

I'll be selling this card for $3.00/each with matching envelope.

Hope you enjoyed.

Card Book for Cora

Guess What???

I've finished Cora's Card Book.... YEA!

I hope she likes it... I changed the way you close this one, I like this too because it lays out of the way when open and allows for the book to expand too, check it out.

Back Cover.

Many of the envelops are very similar to the first Card Book I did but like anything handmade there are some changes or differences... I try to make everything I do a little different for you. Like on this one I changed the way the book is closed, I used ribbon and elastic to pull over a large button on the front cover.  It's different but very cute with the ribbon over the elastic. 

Book with 6-Compartments (cards not included) 20.00.

Most cards I make are 3.00 or 3.50 each depending on detail work.

Like anything hand made no two will be alike, maybe very close but can't promise.

Hope you enjoyed!
