The new challenge today at Crafty Cardmakers is to create a card and gift and I chose to make a notebook and card set which were very quickly snapped up at the craft fair I did on Saturday - note to self: make more!!
I made my little notebook as the gift, first cutting plain chipboard for covers and then cartridge paper for the inside pages, I then covered the chipboard with a neutral patterned paper and, using distress inks, sponged around the edges. I then coloured a piece of white cardstock with distress ink and stamped the script as a background then distressed the edges with my scissors. The bird, flourish and word stamps are all from PaperArtsy Hot Pick 1005 and they were stamped also with distress inks. I then bound it together with my Bind it All.
For the card I used the same patterned paper, again inked around the edges and used a Stampin up punch to give it the notebook style edge, this time I used a PaperArtsy die to cut the bird shape and then stamped the image. The sentiment is from Stampin Up.
Our design team and this week's guest designer Hope Jacare (Claire) have made some lovely cards & gifts - pop over to Crafty Cardmakers for some inspiration!

Gingerloft - Great outdoors
Fairy Tale - Everything goes
AiFactory - Die cuts or punches
Cute Card Thursday - Anything goes

OMG, you made such a gorgeous set here it is absolutely no surprise it was snapped up at your fair.
The colouring is just so perfect, honestly wish I could be even a tiny amount as subtle with my colouring.
