MATCHBOOK BOX

     This is the Deep Square Matchbook Box by Graphic 45.  I chose to decorate it with 'Moments In Time' paper collection from Photo Play.  The paper collection and box are available at Scrap N Create.

I began by burnishing all the edges.  I covered the open square with cardstock as I needed a solid top.

Then I measured the sides, top and bottom inside and out and covered them with the 'Moments In Time' papers.  I used the paper scrapes to punch out the flowers with a floral punch by EK.  All the edges on the box and the flowers are burnished with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink by Tim Holtz.

This is the front of the box.  All the hardware came from my stash.

Here's a close up of the cluster of flowers and tag.  The tag is a cutout from the collection.  The pearls are from Michaels and attached with Art Glitter glue.  Ribbon and yarn are from my stash.  I made the large rose with 'Tattered Florals' die by Tim Holtz.

Both sides and the back panels are decorated with 'Fancy Flourish' die by Cherry Lynn Designs and the smaller flowers with their pearls.

Here's the top of the box.

                                         Here's a close up of the tag with attached key.

Photo of box opened to reveal small storage box I made inside.  Decorated with the same flowers and flourish die.

The box is a perfect place to store more flowers.

CARD FOLIO

Today I created this 'Card Folio' measuring  5 1/2 " x  7 1/2 " with a 1/4" spine.  I chose 'Penny's Paper Doll Family Collection' by Graphic 45.  The whole collection is available at 'Scrap N Create'. 

The large pink flowers are from The Penny Lane Garden Collection by Petaloo.  The small roses are handmade using 'Tiny Tattered Florals' by Sizzix.

I began by cutting all the paper layers and attaching with Art Glitter glue.  Don't forget to cut a navy and green for the cover back.  Kathy Clement has a wonderful tutorial on the basic construction of this folio.  

I burnished all the edges with 'Vintage Photo' Distress Ink by Tim Holtz.

While the glue was setting, I did all the fancy cutting of Penny, her clothes and hats.  

Here's the folio opened up.  The top page holds a small  4" x  6" folio full of Penny's clothes.  The bottom page holds Penny along with Ephemera Cards for photo mats.  There is also a chipboard packet to hold her hats.

This is the  4" x 6" folio opened up.  You'll notice there are no tabs on the clothes.  That's because they all attach with magnets.

                                                           And here's the back cover.

BOX ENVELOPE for DIMENSIONAL CARDS

Envelope is for dimensional cards that measure 6" x  6" and  3/4" thick.  I used paper  and ephemera from 'Paprika' collection to match the 'Easel Card' I just posted.  Paper collection is available at 'Scrap N Create'.

Christina Betts has a tutorial on how to make this envelope.

                     The card just slides inside.  I used magnets to hold the flap in place.

EASEL CARD

     This is a Dimensional 'Free Standing Easel Card'.  It measures  6" x  6".  To create this I used 'Paprika' papers by Photo Play.  These papers are available at Scrap N Create.  

     I began by cutting the paper layers and folio with tag.  All the edges are burnished with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink by Tim Holtz.

     Here's the front of the card without the 'Sentiment Tag'.  Flower clusters are made by using  unknown leaf die, five pedaled flower die by EK,  tiny silk flowers from my stash and paper butterfly also from my stash.

  

                      This is the easel on the back made by using 'Easel' die by Tim Holtz.

     Close up of folio card with tag.  Sentiment reads 'Quick recovery wishes just for you'.

ACCORDION FILE FOLDER

I created this 'Accordion File Folder' with a regular sized manila file folder.  It measures 4 1/2" X  7 1/2".  The instructions are from Splitcoast  Stampers and can be found HERE.  All the papers I used are from the 'Paprika' collection by Photo Play and those are available at Scrap N Create.  You can find them HERE. 

                                                             This is the back cover.
     

     This is a photo of the album opened up before backsides are glued in place.  All the edges are burnished with 'Wild Honey' Distress ink.  Smaller embellishments are stickers from the kit mounted on cardstock so they can be mounted with pop-up dots.  Circular mats are cut from 'Nesting Scallops' by Quickutz.

     These are pieces cut to be used for grass and roses on the cover.  The dies used are 'Grass' by Impression Obsession, 'Tiny Tattered Florals' by Tim Holtz and 'Five pedaled' flower by EK.

                               These are pages 1 and 2 after being glued to form folder.

                                                                Pages 3 and 4.

     These are the removable photo tags with a square for journaling.   Ribbons and pieces of colored yarns are from my stash.

WALL HANGING

     I bought this kit at the 'Spring Fling' Retreat in San Clemente, Ca., March 2, 2018. Retreat was sponsored by Scrap N Create.  Art work is mounted on medium weight chipboard and measures 12" X 12".

     Designer is Tina Ollett at  '49 and Market'.  The papers are from 'Laws of Nature'.  More kits are available at Scrap N Create.

     Papers, ephemera cut out sheet, butterflies and flowers were all included in kit.  To color the lock and key I used gold Metallic Lustre by Deco Art as well as Wink of Stella for glitter.  I added a few extra embellishments from my stash:  Pearls, additional brown flowers by Recollections and green foliage made with 'Tiny Tattered Florals' die by Tim Holtz. All edges were burnished with 'Vintage Photo' Distress Ink.
