For this project Dawn has used the 6×6 paper pad, a packet of the mini file folders, 1 sheet of the 12×12 paper, on sheet of white cardstock, 2 acco file fasteners, large paper clips, bakers twine, a black promarker and adhesive.

This great little mini album is made you an ordinary office file folder and a free paper pack from a craft magazine.

I got my file folders from staples they come in a various colours however, I have chosen buff as they go well with most paper collections.
Also by using buff you can then add Kraft card stock to make extra tags and photo mats.

It is the perfect size to hold your 6×4 photos and great as a gift or just to hold photos from a day out or an event.

Craft along with me using this video tutorial and you to can make your own File Folder Mini Album.

 

 

This is a quick easel card I have made for a friend. I used all the things I had in my crafty stash. The things I have used are, square white card and envelope, patterned paper collection and die cuts from Crafwork Cards, distress ink pad, small butterfly stamp and ribbon.

Easel cards are quick and easy to do but look like you have spent hours on them but “Mums the Word!” I won’t tell…… I good tip is to use things that all match together and with that co ordinated look your cards will look more professional. Take the time also to decorate your envelope, this attention to detail just finishes off your projects.

So go on have a go a making some cards even if you have not done this before,they are quick to do and are much more personal that shop brought ones.

This is a wall plaque I have made for a very good friend.

It is a quick easy project that can be done in an afternoon with a few crafty materials.

Things I have used are; An Indigo Blu large folk heart made from MDF, Indigo Blu “Live Laugh Love” stamp set, Acrylic paints/match pot paints, white card, brown stazon ink pad and ribbon.

Start by given you MDF heart a couple of coats of acrylic paint, this will be your background colour.

While ths is drying you can stamp out your saying on to white card using your stazon ink pad.

Then cut out the words an ink around the edges of each one using an ink pad or a promarker.

Then using acrylic paint (I mix mine with a bit of white paint to get the colour I was happy with) stamp your images on to your heart. I stamped some images on the back too. After you are happy with your plaque you can then wash your stamps in soapy water and leave the to dry.

Using foam pads mount your words on to your plaque to give it a little bit more interest.

Finish off your plaque by threading the ribbon through the hole and making a bow. This then also gives it a hanging handle.

Now you plaque is ready to be given away as a special gift of just keep it for yourself.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this project, I do hope you have ago as it is very simple but stunning and makes a beautiful gift.
