for my final guest design spot
for the month of April,
here on the the artistic stamper creative team blog
Thank you to Hel's & Jennie for inviting me
I have had a blast.
here's my project,
As you can see I have made a whole brief case of stationery,
which started out as a man's card & grew,
inspired by the man off Man's plate 001
For the Stationary,
I have pretty much used the same things throughout,
Man stamp Men's plate 001
Tim Holtz enjoy the journey stamp
Distress inks antique linen, brushed corduroy & vintage photo
background stamps smudge, ink blot & speckle,
archival ink coffee,
I used 6 card blanks, 6, A5 sheets of paper, 12 envelopes
& 6 tags, from my stash,
along with brown ribbon, Fleur De lease brads,
& old map papers, some clear embossing powder,
post it notes, scrap of card & a paint brush
instead of listing all that over & over
I took pictures of the items & what I used,
other wise we would be here all day
reading a very long post,LOL
The cards,
The notelets,
The envelope fronts,
& backs
(silly me forgot to clean the craft mat each time so I had to
decorate the back LOL)
& last but not not least the tags,
as you can see from the photos,
is all pretty much self explanatory.
Now on to the case,
I had some large card given to which came in very handy,
so I made the case in the style of one of those cardboard folders,
before I stuck it together I painted it with
raw umber acrylic paint & some cut & dry foam,
& I also made a little shelf inside for the stationary to sit on,
so when you open it it's all in view & not just laying in the bottom.
I then added strips of grey board painted with black acrylic paint for the straps,
& the handle was made in the same way,
I added a couple of brads & clasps
& some faux stitching with a gold pen,
& there you have it!
I added some bands of brown pearlised paper
around each pack,
then popped them in.
well that's about it I think,
Hope you like it!
Thanks for having me,
It's been so much fun,
& you never know I may just pop up here
again from time to time,
(If Hel's or Jennie ask me)LOL
Have a great day,
Kat x.
