Mini Note Book & Altered Paper Clips White Rose Crafts DT

Hi everyone, Kim here with a quick and easy stocking stuffer project, I whipped up using some fun White Rose Crafts products.

This time I altered a little 3 x 3 note book to give to a friend.  

I used some antique book paper on the background of the front cover and then used the Fairy chipboard and the mini frame chipboard pieces. I covered them in paint, and then topped the paint off with some of the Dovecraft glitter glue in Crystal, to give the fairy some sparkle.

I also used the Felici Tea paper by cutting out some of the images and glueing a paper clip in between, this will give the little note pad some fun paper clips to mark the pages as she uses it.

I may still use more of the Dovecraft glitter glue on the paper clips, but the images from the paper were so pretty that I just left them.

I hope you will check out all the White Rose Crafts products in the store!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Vintage Inspired Notepad For Under A Fiver! ScraPerfect DT Project

Good morning friends, I have a quick and easy project to share with you today for ScraPerfect.

 

 

I love to make gifts for friends, and this one is super easy and quick to make and under a fiver, thanks to the Best Glue Ever! 

I began with a notepad I got from Michaels out of the $1.50 bin, now that is a bargain! 

 

 

The notepad had a cardboard front on it with a pattern, but I wanted to alter it and make it as a gift, and even though it cost under a fiver to make, it looks like a millon bucks when you are done.

 

I decided to cover the patterned front of the notepad with some lovely vintage inspired paper from my stash. I punched holes in the top of the paper so it would line up with the wire binding on the pad. I also designed a digital image of a vintage lady, colorized her, added some roses to her hat and corner of the photo and some script to really make it feel vintage. I used The Best Glue ever here as well to glue her down. I love that this glue dries so flat, and my printed images do not ripple at all when I use this glue.

 

I of course used The Best Glue Ever for sticking down the papers on the front and back. I love this stuff, and if you are like me and always glue things on crooked, then fear not, Best Glue Ever to the rescue!  It is repositionable! Yes, once the glue dries to a tacky feel, you can then stick it down on your project and then if it is crooked, lift it and reposition it. To me this is Heaven sent, I am forever getting my paper on crooked.

 

 

 

Now its time to start decorating my little note book. I used up all scraps of laces and trims from my stash. See? I told you it would be under $5 bucks to make!

 

 

I even used some left over morning coffee to dye my laces, so I wasn't even using up my expensive sprays in my stash. 

 

I also covered the back and used more left over laces and trims. The brown trim at the bottom is a cut up old doily I had in my stash, it makes great trim for the bottom of things.

 

Once again, here is my finished project.

 

So here is the break down for under $5 dollars.
