Foxy and Friends

This is, I think, is the last of the little notelets in a case, for now. There was another, but I forgot to take pictures. I made these 'specially to send off to another crafter, as a thank you, thinking I had some nice and easy gold framed die-cuts all ready to go, but as 'all things Lyn,' (that's me) I couldn't find them. I have found them since and am now really happy they were lost as I think these little critters turned out so much better.

The papers (called Ice Cream Sundae) I used to cover the front of the noteletts and make the envelopes, were from a freebie 6x6 pad. It came with their own ice cream toppers, which I decided wouldn't do.  (Cherrys, Icecream cones, waffers, things like that) Then I found these cuties critters, an A6 booklet, 'Foxy and Friends' by #Hunkydory, which I bought from a Charity Shop for about £1.50 (before lockdown)

I thought I'd use Sam Calcott's idea again and use the  six little doilies I had, to make the toppers to go on the front of the noteletts and the front of the case, but...by the time I got to do the case, the 6th one had done a bunk! (which I've now found!) So I just used  about five diecuts to lift the front Foxy up a bit. There's deer, badgers, squirrels, rabbits and  bears as well as hedgehogs, skunks and beavers that go to make up Foxy's Friends.

 

I put some 'words' on some of the cards, including extra words with sticky backs to add to the blank cards. I also added some tiny 'diamonds,' plus a tiny butterfly to the front.

That's it for now I think!  Happy 1st of March! Hoping to find some....

Polar Play Time! OOPS! STop! Wrong Title! #SnowBuddies Noteletts

 I've been meaning to  post these little notelets (with envelopes) for ages, but I'm afraid the 'jab' got in the way of posting and I went a bit quear, (more then usual!) -slept most of the weekend and then forgot!  So, at last, here they are.  I posted a different set  here a little while back, and there's still another set to come... aren't they just toooo cute!

 All the papers and little critters come from a paper pad called 'Polar PlayTime' by Craft Consortium,   Sorry! No!  They didn't, I'm still battling and arguing with the scissors to cut those ones out!! But these lovely little critters come from a kit by 'The Paper Boutique' and are called 'Snow Buddies.' I bought them from Emerald Crafts 

and these too were soooo hard to cut into, I mean, they are such lovely papers and are sooo darn cute! but, as I've said before, I'm gonna use them and not just smell and stroke them! (okay, maybe I shouldn't've said that out loud! Or, buy two packs... like I did  with the other set! Shhh!)

Here's the little penguin peeping out from inside the case.There's more little critters inside plus the envelopes too. I've mounted all the toppers on miri card. I think there is only one just on a paper die cut

here you can see the back and the front of the case. I only had a scrap of different coloured ribbon, so I went with the same brown as I used before. 

Little Notelets being made

Here's a picture of the notelets being made. In the background you can see the one I posted before. And here's a link to Sam Calcotts YouTube page where the idea came from. That's it for now! Thank you for stopping by. I'd love to add this to some ...

Cottage Garden Notelets In a Box #craftconsortium

 

  I've been meaning to get these finished and  posted  off for ages and then to post them on here and! at last they've been sent off to Niamh and her little friend Evelyn, who I think chose the 'Snow Buddies' which I'll show you in another post. The idea came from one of Sam Calcotts  YouTube Video's. 'Mini Note Cards and Case' 

I've now made about five or six of these (some of my measurements went skewiff! as the envelopes wouldn't fit! (I used my Envelope Punch Board) I couldn't find the lovely Animal pack (from Paper Boutique) that Sam used in her video, so the first one I made was with some Hunky Dory freebies, which I sent off to Niamh, who very quickly ordered two more for her and her friend! All the papers I've used are from the 12x12 paper pack, Cottage Garden by #Craftconsortium. The smaller sized packs would work just as well if not better.

Here's the outside of the box. I added a bit of gold foil to the spine using cosmic Flake & Glitter Glue, which stayed tacky for ages! The ribbon was from my stash...

Here's the case with the Notelets and envelopes inside. I enclosed two little tags for Niamh and Evelyn to sick on the front as shown in the picture, with their names on it, once they'd chosen which one they wanted. (Polar Playtime coming soon)

And here's all the little critters from The Cottage Garden. All you need to know on how to make this, is on Sam's Video.

Hoping to add this to some challenges! Stay Safe! Thanks for stopping by!
