Little Women Bookmark and Gift Envelope

By Katelyn Grosart
 

Hey G45 Fans! With the release of Little Women in January, my head has been spinning with different ways to use it. With the Little Women paper in hand, I set off and created my Little Women Bookmark and Matching Gift Envelope using the Little Women collection and a variety of the Staples from the Staples Collection. These pieces will be perfect to give to that special person in your life who loves to read.  You’ll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and enjoy the photos and tutorial of my Little Women Bookmark and Matching Gift Envelope”.

 

 

Tip: Add chipboard, fussy cut images and metal elements to decorate the corner of the tag.

 

 

Tip: Cut the Carte Postale from the backside of the 3”x4” Ephemera card.

 

 

 

Tip: Policy envelopes can be used for so many different things. I love to use mine for storage, cards, mini albums and so much more.

 

 

Tip: Use the Label Holder to highlight a certain word or image on your project.

Album of Curiosities

By Nico Scrap

“Okay, I have a new favourite collection ever. I love skulls, I love spider webs, and I do love Sherlock Holmes. When I was a little boy I had to read one book for school during Summer holidays, and I chose one of the Sherlock Holmes books. My Grandma and I spent that Summer together and we read 6 books! I dressed up like Sherlock Holmes for the whole Summer and was always saying, "Elementary, my dear Watson" for no reason…LOL

When I saw this collection I thought I should make something for my grandma in memory of that amazing Summer!” ~Nico
