As a thank you, I occasionally like to present my friends with a CD of photos. I make a card and adhere a CD holder. Here are step-by-step instructions on how you can make this special gift.
Fancy Pants Supplies:
Baby Mine: How Tall? patterned paper
Baby Mine: Adore patterned paper
Baby Mine: Llittle One patterned paper
Baby Mine: Cards patterned paper
Baby Mine: Strips patterned paper
Baby Mine: Element Sticker
Baby Mine: Journal Embelishments
Baby Mine: Design Embelishments
Baby Mine: Buttons
Baby Mine: Chipboard Alphas
Baby Mine: Chipboard Elements
Baby Mine: Filter Flowers
Other Supplies:
string
needle and thread
adhesives
Instructions:
1. First of all, paper is cut according to these sizes.
2. Then a shape is traced onto "D" by using a Journal Embelishment as a template, and then cut on the traced line. This creates the pocket for the CD.
3. Sew a button below the pocket.
4. A length of string is bonded to the top of "C" (this will be the flap the folds over the CD pocket). Filter Flowers are layerd and sewn after they are cut to a smaller size with pinking scissors. After that, "D" is adhered to "C" at the edges.
5. The CD holder and other embelishments are bonded to parts "A" and "B".
6. Paper is cut to 5.75" x 1". It is pasted to the edge of the cover side.
I will present this card to a friend I met the other day. The CD will include photographs of our happy memories. If you have the chance, please try creating and giving this special and memorable gift! Thank you!!
