Pop of pink handmade note books

Hi everyone

I'd like to share with you these little handmade note books. I drew inspiration from a YouTube video by another company. I  changed some things up a bit and put my own spin on them. I hope you like how they turned out.

Here are the items I used

Pop of pink speciality DSP measuring 7 3/8" × 4 1/4" score on the long side at 2 7/8" & 6". On the 1 3/8" end flap...round corners with punch 

5 sheets of copier paper- cut 10 pieces at 6" × 4" and fold in half...burnish well with bone folder. Then while all folded in half together take a craft knife and metal ruler and trim to beaten. ( I took of around a cm)

1/8" hole punch to make holes in paper and DSP cover

Then I used melon mambo stitched ribbon or the 1/8" gold ribbon to thread through the paper and cover and tie in a double knot to secure.

Velcro dots for the closure

I used strips of the DSP to decorate the front flap

If you would like to purchase any of the items I've used today you can click on my online shop.

Watercolour wishes meets Beautiful You

Evening everyone

I hope you have all had a good day...I've been celebrating with my Auntie for her 60th birthday!

I just wanted to share this last minute card I've made for a work colleague tomorrow.

Hopefully you will agree it has turned out rather well.

I was lucky to receive the Watercolour Wishes card kit for Christmas and the materials ive used are predominantly from there. It comes with an inspiration guide showing how you can create 20 beautiful cards from your kit.

I decided to try it with my own spin on it.

Here is what I used to create this project:

Watercolour Wishes card kit- I used one of the card blanks, wooden hearts, sentiment stamp and envelope

Beautiful you stamp set

Silver embossing powder

Versamark 

Dazzling details- silver sparkle

Ribbon and rhinestone are both from some of my retired products although you could substitute for items from your own stash.

I hope you like what you see

Thanks for looking and happy crafting
