Booklet

Made this yesterday for Donalda . She is really nice and her creations are great. She asked me for some Magnolia images so she has some to work with till her stamps arrive.

If you would like to make one yourself, i added a tutorial here: Booklet Instructions or at the bottom of this post. Call me crazy cause it's my 3. project this week using flowers but i am also going to add this to Papertake Weekly Challenge blog.

I hope you like this one. I think it is really cute and a nice gift idea. Enjoy!

Dekoration,Doppelseitiges Designer Papier,Klebstoff und duennes starkes Klebeband,scoring Werkzeug oder vergleichbares Werkzeug, starker Karton den man zurechtschneiden kann

for my cardboard i used the backing that comes with my Stampin up Designer Paper to hold the paper in place. You may also use a cerial box. cut a piece to size 5x5 inches. (you can make any size you want) for me it just worked better for the scraps i had on hand.

Ich habe fuer meinen Karton einen staerkeren Karton benutzt der von Stampin up im mit geschickt wird um die Designer Papiere abzustuetzen. Sie koennen aber auch von einer Kellogsbox den Karton verwenden. Schneiden diesen Karton auf 5x5 inces zu.

than cut the DP you want to use to cover your front and back to 7 x 7 inches and score each side at 1 inches. I brushed Mod Podge onto the front of my cardboard and glued the DP on it. Than i wrapped the 1" pieces to the inside. You may want to look at these pictures: http://rosaswelt.blogspot.com/2008/02/chipboard-post-it-tutorial.html

Schneiden Sie 2 Stuecke aus gemusterten Papier auf 7 x 7 inches zu, mit dem Sie Ihre Vorder- und Rueckseite bekleben moechten. Dann jede Seite bei 1" vorfalten, die Vorderseite des Kartons mit Klebstoff einstreichen und das gemusterte Papier auflegen, dann die 1" Enden nach innen einschlagen. Hilfreich sind evtl. auch die Bilder hier: http://rosaswelt.blogspot.com/2008/02/chipboard-post-it-tutorial.html

cut 2 pieces of coordinating DP to cover the inside to 4.75 x 4.75 inches and glue them to the back.
Schneiden Sie 2 Stuecke aus koordinierendem gemusterten Papier auf 4.75 x 4.75 inches zu und kleben Sie diese auf die Rueckseite mit Klebstoff auf.

Cut a stripe of 12 x 4.75 inches of DP and score it every 1"

Aus einem weiteren Stueck gemustertem Papier einen Streifen 12x4.75 zuschneiden und alle 1" inches vorfalten.

Fold it in accordeon style.

Flaten Sie dieses im Ziehharmonika-Stil.

To create the pockets you will need 3 pieces of DP in size 4.75 x 7.75 score this on from the bottom at 2". Add Sticky tape to it and close the flap to make pockets.

Um die Taeschen fuer die Abdruecke zu gestalten, schneiden Sie 3 Stuecke gemustertes Papier auf Groesse 4.75 x 7.75 zu. Falten Sie dieses von unten bei der 2" Marke und bringen Sie dann duennes Klebeband an beiden Seiten an und klappen das 2" Stueck nach oben zu.

Here is a pic of mine - you will need only 3 of them.

Hier ist ein Bild von meinen. Sie benoetigen aber nur 3 Stueck

Adhere the 12 x 4.75 accordeon folded piece of DP to your front cover and your back cover.

Kleben Sie das 12 x 4.75 Ziehharmonika-Style gefaltete Stueck Papier auf das Vorderteil und das Rueckenteil.

You have created your booklet. All what you will have to do now is to add your pockets between the folds use double sided tape on the back and the front to hold it close. Hint: use every other fold to put a pocket inside. Use a ribbon to hold the book shut. I used double sided tape on the back of the ribbon to hold it tight arround the spine of the book.

Herzlichen Glueckwunsch Sie haben ihr Abdruckbuechlein fast fertig gestellt. Alles was Sie jetzt noch machen muessen ist ihre vorgefertigten Papiertaschen in die Ziehharmonikafalten einzukleben. Hinweis: jede zweite Faltung. Am besten auf die Papiertaschen hinten und vorne doppelseitiges Klebeband anbringen und festkleben. Um das Buch geschlossen zu halten und mehr Halt zugeben ein Band benutzen. Das Band mit doppelseitigem Klebeband auf der Rueckseite vom Buch befestigen, etwas ueber die Vorderseite ueber den Buechruecken spannen und dort auch leicht festkleben. Das gibt dem Buchruecken halt auch wenn es geoeffent ist.

Daisy Tilda

Here is my second card for this week that fits into Papertake Weekly Challenge . I just had to use this ribbon today.. i found this ribbon from Making Memories last week in a store and i was only waiting for my new Tilda to arrive. The center of the daisy is actually pink but i was able to color the center of to flower of back side with my marker in yellow. It is hard to tell but on the Soft Sky rectangular panel i stamped a daisy flower from "Think Happy Thoughts" in craft white ink.
Supplies: Craft white ink, Black ink, 7-Gypsies Jumbo Eylets, Crop-A-Dile, Making Memories Daisy Ribbon, Chocolate Satin Ribbon, Stampin up Square punch, Soft Sky, So Saffron and Close to Cocoa CS, Imaginice DP, Tilda and Think Happy Thoughts stamp sets, Marker

Life Is Better When It Sparkles..

Not much to say about this card. It all came togehter by using this cute paper from "Serenic Route". I love how many possibilities you will get with just one sheet of 12 x12 paper ... sometimes they have a strip of sayings in it too. The colors of this DP paper is a very close match to Stampin up's Soft Sky and So Saffron and thats what i have used for cardbase and the layering. The ribbon is SU's Close to Cocoa and a Barely Banana color i got through a ribbon swap. The star Tilda is holding in her hands is covered generously with Stickles :-), the buttons have silver cording and for extra sparkle i added Swarovski chrystals to each corner.

Coaster Source

I noticed that Step was so nice to make some Post-it-Holders with my tutorial. She asked for some other sources to get to the coasters.
I got mine trough a share on SCS.
An other source is:
American Coaster they should be the cheapest.
http://www.americancoaster.com/ You have to call them though for the blank orders. For the medium weight 4x4 coasters you get 1080 for $15 and change. Then if you want a heavier coaster, they are like $16 or $17 for 980.
Your contact there is tracyk@americancoaster.com She is really nice, helped me with all my questions. Be aware that the ones I got worked perfectly with the new SU 3/16" corner rounder. I was over joyed about this - you just cut your paper 4" x 4" and punch the corners and you're ready to rock!
or you can try ebay
(http://www.starlitstudios.com/). She is a well know girl from SCS. Her prices are good, her service is amazing, and she has the 4x4 coasters, 4x6 coasters and circle shaped coasters.

Hope this helps
Claudia

Loads of Flowers

I made this card for the Arty Girlz Challenge blog. I know i am late but i thought i give it a try. This also fits into this weeks Papertake Challenge to use flowers on your project. The sentiment is hard to translate. It's a card for somebody who just passed the drivers licence test. In the pocket i put my drivers licence to take the pic but when i sent this card to my mom (she is giving it away) she will add in the pocket a gift card from a gas station
