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

LACE PAPER FOLDER

October 15, 2022 //

I loved this card {CraftersChoice ~ White Meadow} and thought I needed to make something out of it. So I landed on a simple folder.

I wasn’t sure what to put in the folder, but I wanted something that complimented it. Then I came across my lace paper cut outs. Perfect.

Have a nice day!

HAPPY MAIL

September 16, 2022 //

My friend made a whole lot of origami dresses and put them on a notebook for the female attendees of a special retreat. She sent me a photograph of the little dresses which were so cute. So, I thought, as a thank you for all her beautiful work at the retreat, I would make her some Happy Mail as a thank you. So this is what I created…

Close ups of some of the things inside….

I am thinking of making the printable available on m Etsy shop, so check it out if you’re interested! 🌸 x

A pretty box for my boxes

December 12, 2020 //

I have been enjoying collaging little boxes (usually from the pantry) but now I had created a situation where they were starting to annoy me. Then this morning I thought, yes, I will collage an old box and put the little boxes in the box. And here is the result.

Starting with a picture of ‘the situation’…

Finding an old box…

The initial A4 and A3 paper I stuck on is one of my own designs using domain free images found on the internet.

Then I used some beautiful Michel Design Works serviettes to pull it all together

And here is the finished result…

And then I saw a bottle in my bathroom and thought, I wonder…

It’s still a bit wet so we will see what it looks like when it dries.

Quite a good start to the day I’d say!

Now what shall I do.

Take care ~ Jo x

Pretty Collage Carrier

October 27, 2020 //

I’ve been doing a bit of junk journalling, and using paper and collage. So yesterday, when my husband bought me some low carb Gin and Tonic and the box was so pretty I decided to collage it up…

So, take one gin and tonic carry box…

Now I just have to think about what I can put in it. I might modpodge the outside to strengthen it first though.

Hope this inspires you! ~ Jo x

Happy Mail / Junk Journal Pocket ~ Greens and Blues

October 19, 2020 //

I’m getting quite addicted to making these collaged window envelopes and little folders with secret pockets and places to write or tuck memories, poems, or special thoughts.
