Small scale projects

Hi everyone, here is my third post as Guest Designer for 'The Craft Barn'. The theme this week is 'Small scale'. So I made small cards ( 9 1/2cm x 9cm) with tiny butterflies on,  also matching little tags and  bookmarks also. I used a citrus  colour theme this time, nice and Spring like I thought ! Anyway  come and have a closer look................ See below for special offer details at 'The Craft Barn'  Special offer for this weekend is 10% off Shrink Plastic

I used the waste card etc. to cover this cocktail box also.
Card, Tag, Bookmark Recipes

Cards I first made three white card blanks using some texurized card  to measure 9 1/2 cm x 9 cm and used them tent fold. I stamped a
 large butterfly on a matching piece of card ( approx 7 cm x 6 cm).  I love how the stamp has writing on to add a bit of interest
 too. I used a Memory Box die to cut some tiny butterflies. I  stuck four of the largest butterflies to the body of the large butterfly
stamped earlier. I added two smaller butterflies to the middle  of the other four. The last butterfly I coloured to match the large
 butterfly and stuck that one to the centre of the large butterfly  stamp. I added a clear gem ( coloured to match using a
 Promarker pen),..... handy tip. I used small 3d pads to stick the  butterfly topper to the main card. I used three nice bright
Spring coloured inks to make three matching little cards.  I am so temped to make three more now....blue...pink.... lilac ! Tags  I first printed a few sentiments onto some white texturized card.  I then cut it to (8 cm x 2 cm) and used a corner rounder to round
 off the edges. I sponged some ink to add a bit of distressing  to the edges. I punched a small hole for the ribbon and stuck a tiny
butterfly to the tag ( after first colouring using more  ink to match).  I coloured some narrow satin ribbon ( using same method as  when  colouring the gem) and added that to the tag. I made three tiny  tags in all to match the cards. Bookmarks I used three of the smaller butterfly stamps ( from same set as  the large one used earlier) to stamp on to a piece of white  card (13 cm x 4 cm.)  I stamped a sentiment from the same butterfly  set also. I rounded the corners again then inked the edges.  I punched a hole and added some matching ribbon ,( coloured to match) .

I like the fact that you can have a card, a matching tag for a  gift and even a bookmark as the gift itself maybe :)
