A busy day today. I made this tag and pocket to show how the envelope punch can be used. Both the pocket and the bow were made with the envelope punch. I will be teaching this technique at a class at Charlottes Web Papercraft but with a different theme as it will be after Easter.

The ATC is from the Graphic 45 Collection  Mother Goose. With the photo image of the 2 children I was trying to create a sense of the wonder of childhood. Surrounded by the stories of childhood.
ATC with a stamped image. The stamp is from Darkroom Door- Love Letters. Stamped with black Memento ink on cream cardstock. The flowers are German scrap. I find these difficult to source in Australia.

A simple make and take Post it Note holder made from 61/2 inch paper pad. Kaisercraft- Telegraph Road Collection.
They are made on the WRMK scoreboard and trimmer which is my favourite new tool.

I cut a piece from a 6 1/2 inch pad at 3 inches. I scored the strip at 3 1/8th. Flipped the strip around and scored at 3 1/8th. I then folded the strip and had my cover. The squares on the front covers are 2 3/4 inch squares. I used other coordinating pieces from the Telegraph Road to decorate. A quick and easy gift.

this ATC was made with metal flashing tape.Available from hardware stores or in my case "borrowed"from my husbands shed. It is sticky backed so I stuck it to cardstock and then in an embossing folder through the Bigshot. I covered it with black distress paint which I rubbed over with paper towels. The same process for making the diecut flowers, tape on card. The flowers are coloured with alcohol markers.

Binder trading cards. A little different from ATCs . They measure 1.75 inches X 3.5inches. Decorated front and back with an eyelet that enables the cards to be threaded on ribbon or a ring to make an album. These are both digital prints .
