Lillybet's Papers

As part of my post renovation TIDY UP, I am finally finishing some old blog posts and sharing them with you -  I am calling it my "Going Backwards to Go Forwards" process. I hope you get a little bit of motivation and inspiration from these recent samples which I created and then forgot! I am keen to share them with you so I can start afresh.

I used one of the tags to create the sliding lock mechanism, and another to decorate the inside.  The card closed with the tag slider in place to keep it closed.

This side view shows you the middle and front frames. This is the original video.  It is in German, but you can see the process and create along with Ingrid Hafner and this is Ingrid's link to the cutting diagram. I hope you give this a try, it's a very versatile card. Ingrid also ha...
