Day 27 Easy envelope

Sometimes you need an envelope and can't find the right size. There are templates to design your own envelopes. There are also some useful tools on the internet and one such site is Canon Creative Park, which I mentioned earlier. I downloaded and printed the patterned envelope from:
http://cp.c-ij.com/en/contents/3206/10052/downloads/e-flower0022_s09a4p.pdf

Apart from the pattern you will need:
Scissors
Glue
Double-sided tape or photo stickers
... and a pen and stamp to send!


Cut out along the lines and fold over the dotted lines. Spread some glue on the glue tabs where shown and stick the sides together.


On the printout, there are some circle icons you can cut out and use them to close the envelope. I applied a photo sticker to attach to the envelope. It matches the design on the envelope and looks pretty!



Take care and have a lovely weekend x

Day 11 Card-making with Digital crafts

Yippee, the book has arrived, so when I'll have a creativity block I'll know where to turn to :-)

Soon - on the 14th of March - my Mum's pet dog will be 1 year old and this event gave me inspiration for today's craft. I am going to prepare him a card. He wouldn't care about a card but Mum would be pleased :-)


You will need:
A4 colored paper
Photo frame print out
Photos (here I need 2)
Scissors
Double-sided foam tape

The Canon creative park is aother great site for digital crafts:
http://cp.c-ij.com/en/ I found what I needed under Scrapbook followed by Photo frame, one with bones ideal for a dog.



Then I opened the picture in Paint and 'cut' out the bone shape. I printed it on the same paper as the frame. This is the groundwork for the card. I will take some proper photos and stick them to this card using foam double sided tape to give it a 3D look. I will stick the bones in the same way and over the photo... finished project tomorrow. Sorry but I have been too busy.

Here's a photo of the dog - called Kimy!



There is an alternate way to add photos to the templates of frames downloaded here. Please find instructions here: http://cp.c-ij.com/en/help/help-scrap03.html
I could not do it since I need program updates!
I will try it eventually.

Take care, love libellunina x
