Here is one more Father's Day Card for the Troops-I had bought the green ribbon at Michael's last year in a bin that was one dollar a role. I think it still had 23 yards on it, needless to say I made lots of these.
These are file folders from CTMH (Fancy Cut File Folders) the medium size.
Click the picture to make it larger. ( please note that the inside score marks are just for a guide when sewing. If you use ribbon or sassy strands you may not need these lines)
I attached all the folders one at a time on the lines
Here is what it looks like when all the folders are attached
Now you see the reason I created a spine cover for the book. My sewing skills lack!!!
Corner round all 4 book corners (optional)
I used a circle punch to make the indent area.
The spine is 2 x4 and then I scored on 1/2" and 1.5"
I made the pockets by using assorted size pattern paper and attaching them with liquid glass
Decorate your pages and make inserts ( I used mini tags)
Here it is some what flattened out so you can see all the tabs.
I don't have any new art to show you, but I am working on some, so stay tuned!! In the meantime I thought I would show you the flooding in front of my office. We had 4"of rain over the last 2 1/2 days. My office is right inside that door!! Thank goodness Charlie put some old pieces of sidewalk on the the side a few years ago, or I would need a boat to get to work!! Maybe it's time to pull out my pink rain boots!!
This is a simple card that I created to send to the troops that I made about 15 of. I really like the edges of the colonial white cardstock in the chocolate ink, I like it so much because of the ink pad. I have a very old one that I have never re-inked, and it gives this soft edge for distressing. I am just wondering how long it will go before it has to be re-inked?
Here is what you will need. (plus scissors) That's a plate in the corner, but you could use anything round.
Cardstock is 12x7. Click the picture to enlarge.
Use the plate or something round to trace the side opposite the 2 close together score marks.
Trim away with knife or scissors
Use super sticky tape to attach flap.
Add magnets for a closure.
Here's what you get when you decorate it. Make some matching cards to go inside.
I visit Sparkle's blog often, and I always comment on how cute I think here moose cards are, so she was so sweet and sent me some images of my very own. After I started working on this project I decided I was going to need a few more images, and before I begged Sparkle to send more, I had an idea to run cardstock through my printer and see if I could copy them. Well it worked!!
I am working on the step by step directions for this card holder, and promise to have it posted later this afternoon.
This card was inspired by an add I saw in a magazine for a dishwasher. The colors are a little more bright in person. I think this card idea would work with circle stamps too.
Give this a try with chipboard or stamps and post a link to your card!
