Ephemera Folder Fun

January 12, 2023 //

I love creating ’fussy cutting’ and creating ephemera folders for junk journalling, etc. In fact I’ve said it before, but I think my real hobby is getting organised for my hobbies!

Below is my latest creation made from a small photograph album. I cut velum strips and glued them on with double-sided cellotape.

A strip of washi tape down the side helped create the inspiration for each page colour.

For a more detailed look through the folder head to my video …Ephemera Folder Fun You Tube

To purchase the printable for the cover pages head to my etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/CREATEmeDESIGNS

Recycled plastic ~ cute bags

Hey! How you going in lockdown?

I randomly discovered a video where this woman was making these cute little bags out of the duvet/sheet plastic bags and I thought, yep, I’ve got some of those.  I ordered some brads from Spotlight, and I made the little brown circles out of card with my CRICUT maker, and my mother in law had given me several rolls of pink silk rayon braid which was perfect for tying them up.  I really love them and they’re super quick to make.   Too easy!!

These little bags are so cute and quite handy.

I’ve been cutting out little hearts and flowers with my CRICUT Maker to have on hand so they are the perfect place to store them…

Peppermint Love

I’ve had a lovely summer holiday.  One of the highlights of my holiday was taking mum out for the day.  A lovely breakfast at Mount Maunganui, followed by a walk around the shops, and then some opshopping.   I found this cute little glass jar with lid for $4 and thought it would make the perfect peppermint jar and also the perfect opportunity to try out my new Cricut (birthday pressy from hubby).

My husband says it looks mint!

I’m loving the result of the Cricut Vinyl.  It’s not perfect ~ Trust me to do the most fiddly intricate small design and on glass as my first project. It’s not perfect but I love it!
