Day 294 of my 366 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 So today's project for my 366 day challenge (day 294) is something different insomuch that it is a "To Do" Sticky note holder using a design I created using my Brother ScanNCut.
To do sticky note holder

How I made this holder:-

  • I had had a "To do" Post it note pad and thought I would design a wallet (not sure what else I can call it) to hold it in...
  • I first of all designed the whole thing in CANVAS (Brother ScanNCut's web app) - the dimensions are as follows:-
  • The main panel is 4.3" x 8.00" (approximately) - i then added score lines to 3.25" and 3.50" and then two more at 7" and 7.25"so it gives you a small "flap" too.
  • I then added 2 separate panels measuring 4.3" x .0.25" to reinforce the sides and another larger strip (4.5" x 0.65") to use as the opener.I also drew another rectangle approx 9" x 1.5" along with a back panel of 3.25" x 4.3".
  • Once I was happy with the dimensions, I saved it and sent it to my Brother ScanNCut out and cut it out using a double sided Centura Pearl cardstock ( diamond checks on one side and a Damask style one on the other.
  • Using a bone folder and scoring board, I scored the sides again to give them a perfect crease and then glued the two smaller panels to the sides using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue. I then took the longer strip and placed it in the middle and glued it to the back of the holder.

  • The Post it note pad has a sheet of paper at the back which is glued at the side, so I attached the wider strip to the inside of the wallet and around to the back and glued it in place using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue.
  • I then covered the whole of the back using the larger of the panels I had cut out so it protected the strip.
  • I then added a hook and loop circle to the front of the wallet and the strip so that I could open and close it easily.
  • To finish off the wallet - i added a border strip from the "Walk in the Wild" collection to add some decorative elements and finally some "Copper Penny" Nuvo crystal drops to parts of the front panel.

And there you are - a To Do post it note holder wallet that I designed and cut out using my Brother ScanNCut.

Mother's Day flowers card

Mother's Day flowers card Hi Craft addicts! I really love using Tim Holtz's Distress Crayons and so I made this card with one of the designs I created. How I made this card:- I used Tim Holtz Ranger Yupo paper as the base for the flower design - I used his Orange, Yellow, Red and Brown Distress Crayons - just added a few flicks of colour to the paper and then quickly used my finger to spread it a bit...  I repeated the process several times, changing the size of the flowers slightly. Once I was happy with them, I then used a damp waterbrush to fade the colours out a bit. I also used some of the Ranger Blue and Green Distress Crayons to add a faded background to it. I trimmed the panel so it measured 3" x 4.5" and edged it with a Black alcohol marker. I then glued it to some Kraft card (American Crafts as it has a linen effect to it) and cut it so there was a slightly wider border around it. I attached the whole panel to the front of a 5"...

With Love Abstract flower in pink, black and white on hand coloured flowery background square card

With Love Abstract flower in pink, black and white on hand coloured flowery background square card Hi Craft Addicts! Today's card is a result of using a background I have created myself using Tim Holtz Distress Crayons along with dies from Toni Darroch's Stamps by Me. How I made this card:- I had been playing with some Tim Holtz Distress Crayons to make the flowery background (it measures approx 5" square as the card itself is a 6" one - to do it, I used Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry, experimenting with the "strokes"  I used - it took a bit of time to get the effect right - I used normal stamping paper this time rather than Yupo as it gives a totally different effect. I also used a paintbrush and some water to blend them in even more. Once I was happy with what I had done, I then added some green alcohol marker to create the stalks and some faded blue and yellow spots dotted around the pattern. I then edged it with a black alcohol marker. ...

Happy Birthday - Meerkat on desert background 7x5in card - Day 110 of my 365 day challenge

Happy Birthday - Meerkat on desert background 7x5in card -  Day 110 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I really enjoyed making this Birthday card - especially colouring in the background which I am pleased with how it turned out. How I made this card:- I had previously cut out a few of the Meerkats (a Tattered Lace die) using various cardstocks and thought that this Kraft card one would work well on a desert background. I therefore cut a piece of smooth white card to 110x145mm approximately and started to colour it in. I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to do this-  Tea Dye, Dried Marigold and Rusty Hinge are the main ones used - making it darker at both the top and the bottom. I also added a hint of green to the centre of the panel. I then cut out the oval label panel in the middle of it (I think it was either a Tonic Studios or Tattered Lace die) - I also cut a similar panel using a darker Kraft cardstock. I stuck the large layer on to the fro...
