WOYWW – Just a little bit of and cutting and pasting, the usual

I am having one of those loose week where I am thinking of a project to use up some of my “too long held in the back of the closet” stash..

I am currently in love with the envelope mini books projects, as it’s birthday time and little parties here and there happening. Envelope mini’s are cute, fun to make and a really simply project to use up small pieces of scraps.

My one draw back is the paper quality of our envelopes here in the UK– they are so thin and this is where my stacks and stacks of A4 papers comes in. They are thicker than the average envelope and with a scoring board and a little creativity the sky is the limit.. 

Using some orange (more tangerine colour) A4 paper as my base, I started the magic. I am also using up one of those 6x6 Dovecraft paper pack that I picked up a craft fair, a couple of years ago, I have had this particular pack for a while.

I think this pic  probably sums up my week the best – A project waiting in the wings (on the left), a new idea that I just had to try there and then( paper in the middle), my plotting and attempt  at writing my cutting and scoring points down ( orange paper  on the desk) and at the back a book just finished for my friend.

Front cover for the envelope mini – a work in progress.Loving it so far though.

I wanted to share one of my ATC guns that my kids insist on altering every chance they get. They are currently going through a fascination phase with my big shot.

The other side has those Tim hold gears die – these were made with a Caprisan juice book cardboard. A little blue paint going on there as well..

I look forward to what they do with it next month.

For those who saw my ongoing Tri-Fold card project last week – HERE IS THE FINISHED project
