A notebook folder with a fox

 

A notebook folder made for a woman who loves atumun colors.

The size of the folder is 9"X7" and it has a soft spine sizes 1.25".

The covers are from chipboards, while the spine is from kraftex, so the covers can be twisted fully, for more convenience while writing in the notebook inside.

On the rigtht side there's an envelope to store bigger papers, invoices, etc.:

On one of the envelope's covers there are stacked pockets for notes etc.

On the left side, there's a big pocket, where a 2 subjects notebook is insereted. I added 10 tabs on the notebook, as this woman is starting a new project, with some milstones.

The notebook can be replaced with a new one.

And that's how the outside covers look like:

I {heart} you with a tag - cas card

 A cas card, with color combo that was a little challenging for me, but I really like how it turned out.

I had this journaling card for ages, from a 12x12 journaling page, in pink-purple colors. These colors are far away from my comfort zone.

As soon as I saw the challene at Inspire. Create challenge blog, with a not so usual color combo, I new this journaling card is perfect for the challenge!

The sentiment on the card says in Hebrew: "I {heart} you".

I die cut a stitched scalloped tag from a textured yellow cardstock. I trimmed the journaling card to fit and adhered it on the tag. I added some punched flowers in matching colors, and added glitter enamel dots in the center of the flowers.

I matted with pale blue cardstock and adhered to the basis.

Thank you for all you do - a card with scalloped banners

 

This 'Thank You' card is the 3rd 'pay it forward' card I've made (you can see the 1st and the 2nd), this time in yellow tones, with some kraft.

I die cut nesting scalloped banners and adhered them on the pp (which had a big white banner in the middle).

I really love the 'Thank You' font! so whimsical (Doodlebug design 'many thanks' stamps).

I was inspired both by the sketch and by the colors.

A heart full of thanks card

This is my 2nd card today, and also 2nd in the 'pay it forward' cards I'm making (you can see the 1st one HERE).

The pp had a big white heart, and I die cut a smaller heart in the middle of that white heart, and matted the pp with a mango cardstock.

From the die cut heart, I die cut a smaller heart, and inked it with distress oxide ink (saltwater taffy), and stamped the sentiment in the middle (it says Thank You! in Hebrew).

I adhered the small heart to the middle of the bigger heart with foam tape, and added some mat enamel dots in mango color, to match the inside of the heart.

I followed, loosely, the sketch from My Favorite Things challenge, replacing the hexagon with the heart:

A 'pay it forward' thank you card

 Along with my latest purchase, the dear shop owner gifted me with some 12x12 journaling cards pages.

I felt so grateful for this lovely gift, and decided to 'pay it forward'. The shop owner operates a 'happy cards' donation to a hospital. The cards can be with any sentiment, and they'll be given to both patients and staff. Isn't it just a lovely thing to do?

For the first card, I stamped some leaves in dark bluish gray (weathered wood distress oxied ink), and other with dried marigold distress oxide. I then stamped tiny leaves here and there, with aged mahogany distress ink, and used the same ink for the sentiment (Thanks in Hebrew).

I then distressed the edges with this redish ink and placed the panel on a white basis.

With Love card - only solid cardstock

 

One of the Top Three

at Try Stamping on Tuesday

Every now and then, I like to make cards using my solid cardstock scraps, and when one has some (many...) great dies, it gets very easy to make the cards.

This time I challenged myself to use 4 of the colors from Sunday Stamps challenge, although I could use only 3 of them (I didn't use white...):

I used nesting dies, and a script sentiment die in the middle, which says, in Hebrew: 'With Love'.

I added mat dots on both sides, and that's it!

I followed the sketch from Try Stmping On Tuesday:

I also goes for the 'Anything with Dies' challenge at Happy Little Stampers:

Good Luck on your new way - a card for a new recruit

I needed a card for a young person, who is dear to me, that is a new recruit.

As it's a card for a male, I wanted it to be as simple as possible, without flowers or any embellishments.

I used nesting dies and stamped the image in black and the sentiment in blue. The sentiment says, in Hebrew: 'Good Luck on your new way'.

I adhered the stacked dies on a pp with a very gentle pattern, also in blue hues.

Challenges:

Paper Craft Crue - sketch:

The Male Room challenge - use stencils and/or dies. I used only dies:

Flowers for an all occasion card

One of the FAV

at Happy Little Stampers

 

An all occasion card, made with dies only. No stamping, inking or masking this time. I only added some glittery enamel dots to the center  of the flowers.

The sentiment says, in Hebrew: Mazal Tov, and it's an all occasion blessing, so can by used for birthday, anniversary, wedding, etc.

For the flowery frame and the background I used Graphic 45  pp from 'Portrait of a Lady' collection.

For the sentiment and it's matting I used some white and kraft scraps.

Challenges:

Color Hues #61- peach and kraft:

TimeOut #235 - photo inspiration:

My inspiration was the wreath hanging on the window, with it's kraft/brown, peach and white colors, plus the script letters.

A butterfly card, in some earth tones - CTD meets FMS

 

The colors suggested by Wanda at The Color Throwdown # 720 were very appealing to me - kraft, copper, sage green and black:

I used these colors for a non-traditional butterly stamping (MFT 'More Brilliant Butterflies' stamp set), I used Lawn Fawn pizza crtust and sage leaf, and I must say - I really love how it came out!

For the desgin, I followed the sketch from Freshtly Made Sketches #563, given by Jen B:

I loved how the circle is cut by the frame and not full.

I die cut a doily from a black cardstock, and topped it with some circular die cut in kraft. I adhered it to the white panel, with some of the doily going out of the edge, and cut the excess. 

On top of it I adhered the stamped butterfly with foam tape and added a glittery copper enamel dot in the middle.

I think that the cut doily and the off the edge butterfly gives the card a bit of an interest, don't you think?

I stamped the sentiment (Mazal Tov in Hebrew) in sage, and added some more glittery copper enamel dots.

The white panel was double matted with matching colors cardstocks and adhered to the white basis.
