Good Morning,
Kim here today, I have a written a little tutorial on...
creating a pencil and notepad gift set, so easy to customise and give as a special gift.
I tried without success to upload this tutorial yeserday but Blogger was not playing along, hope it's better late then never as they say... enjoy and hope you have a go!!!
To begin take the cover off a mini notepad or jotter,
remove it on the back too Cut some
kraft cardstock to recover the pad remembering to continue the cover to the back.
Use a corner rounder to shape the corners, simply hold a few pages at a time instead of struggling with too many.
Create a box envelope the depth of your pencils, I've used scallop circle die to give decorative flap.
Attach a large metal snap or (circle card and eyelet), then ink edges.
Secure some
twine to the back before constructing the envelope.
For the cover cut three pieces of chipboard, two just a bit bigger then the box envelope and a spine the depth of pad and envelope.
I've cut a strip of sticky back canvas for the spine, lay the covers and spine directly onto the sticky side allowing a gap between pieces.
Then adhere another strip of
patterned paper to cover the two ends, and score the channel's to secure.
Next it's simply a matter of adhering the pad and the pencil envelope in place.
I've added more twine for tying a closure.
For the front, stamp and colour your
image, fussy cut leaving a border and matt onto black card, then fix on the front with dimensional adhesive.
and here's the copics I've used!
I hope you feel inspired to try creating a little papercrafted gift too!
Thank you so much for stopping by today!
BiG HuGs Kim :)
