Butterfly Mini Album

Happy Easter friends and with no further ado here's a mini album i made for my niece.

I started with the album i got a while back from sfragidomania

And here's the result, page by page!

I thought it will be perfect for a few pictures from her first year at school, a keepsake for the years to come!

I put it in a little bag I made, here's the link to my post if you're interested to see how  I made it.

That's it for now,  I hope you are all well and thriving!

Καλή Ανάσταση!

DIY Starbucks Tumbler!

Spring coming I decided I needed a springy Starbucks tumbler fot my coffee, so, a few copics later and a lot of ink stains on my hands, here is the result!

I started by stamping the paper insert. On second thought I should have used Stazon because the paper is quite glossy and the ink smudged s bit, but, what's done is done.

Then, I lightly colored the background with distress inks and then, my copics had a party!

Here's the finished tumbler.

That's it for now, I hope you are all well and thriving!

Cute bag!

While I was making a mini album for a gift I realized that I needed a cute little bag to put it in.

So, after trying this and that, I ended up with...

Isn't it pretty? Here's how I did it (no measurements unfortunately because it was an experiment, I had no idea what I would end up with!).

1. I took a 12 inches paper and used my ruler diagonally to mark the base of the bag. Then I cut about 2-3 inches along the mark lines on each corner. Finally I cut a piece of the flaps on the left and on the right.

2. I glued the flaps.

3. Then I glued the center strip, folded it inwards and glued that piece as well.

4. Here's the result after doing both corners.

5. I also reinforced the top of the bag with two strips of paper because I didn't want it to be torn. Not that the mini album is that heavy but better be safe than sorry!

6. I also reinforced the bottom corners.

7. I embellished the top with a border punch.

8. I punched a hole on the corner, added a gromlet and then added a bow on the inside to hide the back side of the gromlet.

What do you think of it?

That's it for now, I hope you're all well and thriving!

Just a little christmas crafting

Hello hello!

I wanted to wrap a present for a friend's birthday gift but I was too lazy to go and buy some wrapping paper, so I used my craft stash to make something and I came up with a ... gift basket. LOL!

I also made a l little tag/card for my wishes, I don't know what stamp it is, I actually found the stamped image in my stash (maybe from last year's crop?) and colored it.

That's all for now, I don't have any step by step photos because I just did it haphazardly in 10', without a pattern etc, I just did what came into my mind. I will make another one and take detailed photos, I promise!

Hope you're all well and thriving!
