Hello again! Its time for the mid month inspiration for the Valentine's challenge on The Twisted Challenge Blog! No reds and no pinks!
For me love is in the small things! The small notes, the memories, the love letters! I went for a complete masculine theme and made a small Envelope Flip book. It uses 4 envelopes only, measuring 5x7. And is super super easy! So here are a few pictures of the book, enjoy!
Each envelope holds a postcard note. With some stamping and a cutesy sentiment with it! There is enough room to add a lot more in it.
I have tucked some 3x4 journaling cards too!
Couldn't resist some butterflies!
Some more journaling cards.
These are the postcard notes in each envelope. Aren't they cute? There is enough space to write on the front and back.
Enjoy the quick video of this Flip book! And do join the challenge...just a few days before it ends!
Tutorial - Lorrie Nunemaker
Paper pack used - Papericious Often (Very old pack)
Stamps - Fiskars, MFT, Lawn Fawn, Kaisercraft, Mama Elephant.
Journaling cards - SNAP cards from Simple stories.
Join me for a post for the Craftreat blog! You can find this post on the Craftreat blog as well.
I am showcasing two paper packs and 2 projects made with those paper packs.
And now to the projects.
I have one Quick Photo Folio which can be done in under an hour. This folio can be done straight with Pattern paper and not even using cardstock. But I am a fanatic for black borders, and so I used cardstock as the base and then matted the pattern paper.
4 sheets of cardstock, 4 sheets of Pattern paper, glue and one ribbon and you are done!
A peek inside as to how the pages look. Each page is a pocket page and can hold anywhere from one to 4 photographs and journaling cards.This is a tutorial from Amber..LyricLover810 on youtube (..https://youtu.be/Jo6nX6cG1DY )
Now to the bigger project, Double Waterfall Photo Folio.
This was a labor of love but again a quick project. 2 days max is what you need on this!
I loved that this folio allows for vertical as well as horizontal photos. And then I went and made it complicated by adding more photo inserts....it was fun to do that!!
But the hero of the project is definitely the paper, and the cut-aparts! They are fantastic ..and of course, THE OWLS!!
Here is a peek at the inside of the Double Waterfall photo folio. Did I not tell you the papers are fantastic!
Without any further ado, here's the walk through the next project.
This project is made with a tutorial from Frances Long, well at least when her tutorials were free.
Sorry about the silent walk-through. I havd a bad bad cold and my voice would have scared you all! So silent video it is for today!!
Hello Everyone,
Welcome to the Valentine Edition of The Twisted Challenges! This month we have a fun and as always Twisted Challenge for you!!
This month, we want you to create a Valentine's Project! Easy right?? Wait for the twist!
But ..But.. But you are not to use Reds or Pinks! haha! How's that for a twist.
It sure is challenging to think of Valentine's sans reds or pinks!
So here's my inspiration for you ... I have a set of 3 mini note cards. They measure 4x4 in size.
And have my most favorite valentine puns!
These are small enough to be tucked into a lunchbox or your favorite other's bag. Here's a detail view of each of the card below.
There isn't much about the technique as such. Simple stamping, coloring with Copics and matting with some patterned paper.
All stamps are from Lawn Fawn. Bunny and Pearl and its sentiment from My silly Valentine, and the coffee sets is from Thanks a latte
Pattern paper - literally scraps from other projects.
Hope you guys join us for the challenge this month!
