Here is a collection of items I made this month. In the front is a shopping list portfolio with belly band and pencil, next is a bunch of pencils (getting ready for tax season), in the back is a 3 x 8 card.
And now for the close ups - with details . . .
The paper pack is Veranda using Juniper, Cocoa and White Daisy cardstock. I used the same label to make the ribbon bow, that I used on the card to border the "To a special friend" sentiment, using Juniper ink. I added a paper flower from the new Spring Blossom set that I added Juniper ink to color and popped on a fantastic Filigree charm. Topping off the sentiment is a little paper butterfly colored with a hint of creme brulee and dessert sand for depth. I had the paper punch in my supply cabinet and couldn't resist the lacey effect to add a sense of nostalgia to my card.
Next in line
This is a list portfolio made with Juniper and White Daisy cardstock, the Red B&T from Perfect Day. The Tulip inked label used for the "For my friend" sentiment is the same label I used to make the tulip colored bow (notice those little hearts)! The belly band slides off the portfolio to reveal the list and pencil, which I wrapped in B&T.
I used the corner rounder to make the scallop edge on the flap.
The instructions for making the bows? I will post those this weekend (I have to keep you coming back, don't I? - hee hee). Seriously though, I need to take pictures of the steps so that it is clear how to assemble them. It really is pretty easy and I have two different types, depending on the label shape!
