Markets and Gift Packs

This weekend saw me at two markets - the Luna Markets on the riverbank in Rockhampton and the annual Rotray Club Biloela Art and Craft Fair. It was a busy weekend but I had lots of fun. Thankyou to all the new people who stopped by and checked out my stall.

At Biloela
"Don't post online- put some real paper in the post" "Snail mail is so nice to receive"

Since it is leading up to Christmas I had lots of gift packs -for 3x3 cards, notecards and larger cards as well as plenty of art journals.




Paper pouches for a set of 4 3x3 notecards and envelopes 
cut at 6 x 10,
score at (portrait) 1 1/4 and 4 3/4 , Score at (landscape) 4 1/2 and 5 1/2
contrast binding strips 1 1/2" (or whatever scarps you have) score in half



Paper pouches for Notecard size
cut at 7 1/2 x 12,
score at (portrait) 1 3/4 and 5 3/4 , Score at (landscape) 5 1/2 and 6 1/2
Kraft flap cut 6 x 4, score at (landscape) 3 and 3 3/4 or 3 1/2 depending on how bulky the cards are.
secure with velcro dot.

On Rachel's photo tutorial she scores it at 1 7/8" and then folds this in, and then brings the other side in to meet the fold in the middle, and landscape she scores at 5/5/8" from each end.

I have made this design before  which you may remember from the CASEing the Catty Gift wrap and packaging entry #CTC40 

There is a link to a video tutorial on that page (click on the picture above) or there is a much older instruction at Stampyourartout 

thanks for looking,

Rolled paper roses Frames

Two new Frames for the Handmade Expo Markets this weekend. These are hand rolled vanilla paper roses, with newsprint DSP in the red version. Sentiment is from Painted Petals, making the paper roses is made easier using the Spiral Flower Die thanks for looking. Of course these can be mDe to order, liz

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
