Inkadinkacollage

Hello.

While I had my Inkadinkado sets out I though I would use two of my favourites to make a collage. This was created using images from the Rock Star and the In The Groove set. I filed the edges of the paper and slightly scrunched parts of it then inked the edges to add a grungey look. The finished collage is mounted on a pearlescent card.

Last post before Ireland.

Hello.
I only just posted an update, but I am doing this last one before I am off to Ireland tomorrow. I've got all the last minute stressing about everything being packed to do. I will be back next Tuesday/Wednesday (not sure what time we get back) and will be looking forward to catching up with everything I have missed on the blogs of the lovely ladies in 'Eyelets, Ribbon, Paper - Oh My!'.

On to the card. This was inspired by the special edition of Paolo Nutini's album These Streets. The second picture shows the card with the album, so you can see where the idea came from. I have been meaning to do a card like this for a while.

- Image stamps and 'Rock Star' stamp are by Inkadinkado, from the sets 'In The Groove' and 'Rockstar'.

- 'Birthday fun' is from the Sheep set in the 'Honey and Hugs' range by Papermania.

Star Book Tutorial

, Hello.
Here is a tutorial for the star book that I posted on here the other day. These instructions make a 4" square book, and a six point star.

Step 1: Cut your cardstock into six pieces at 4" x 8", six pieces at 4" x 6 1/2" and 2 pieces at 3 3/4" square.


Step 2: Fold all the pieces, except the 3 3/4" ones, in half.

Step 3: Decorate the smaller pieces and the the square pieces. If you are using embellishments keep them flat so it will close properly.

Step 4: Stick the edges of the smaller pieces to the edges of the larger pieces so they create this shape.

Step 5: Stick the backs of each piece together making sure to leave a back and front cover.

Step 6: Stick ribbon along the front and the back of the card. I have used sellotape, but you can use anything as it will be getting covered.

Step 7: Stick the square pieces on the front and back cover. The ribbon can now be used to tie the book open and closed.

Cupcakes and Bookmarks

Hello.
I've been at work most of the weekend so I've just got a couple of quick projects to share with you. The first is this gift set of a 2,4,6,8 box and a 3" square card. When I have put something in the box I will be stapling it closed at the top.

- The cupcake stamp is from a set which I can't seem to find online and I have only seen it in The Range. The company do a few different sets, each of which has four stamps and a mini ink pad.
- The Happy Birthday stamp is from Worth Repeating by Stampology and is availabe here (about halfway down the page).
- The image is coloured using Papermania Pastel Brush Markers which are available here.


The second thing I have to share is this bookmark. I think I might have made too many bookmarks for myself so I'm gonna have to start getting rid of some.
- The stamp is from Inkadinkado's In The Groove set which is available here.
- The paper is from the Rockstar mat stack which is viewable here.
- The eyelet came with the Provo Craft Silent Setter which is available here.
- The thread is just cross stitching thread, in three different colours.
