Little Iris Girl Envelope Journal

💖Happy Valentines Day!💘

Adding a sweet little journal to my blog today!💝🌸🎀I love vintage cards and found this one in a box stuffed away in my closet. I think it was from the 1970s, wait! Does that decade classify as vintage?🤔

The base of this journal is made using 5 envelopes. I am in love with this technique.🥰Its fun, fast, and uses any type of scrapbook paper you have in your stash to decorate the pages! A link to the YouTube video I learned this technique from is at the end of this post👍 Also, if you would like to see a video flip through of my little journal you’ll find the link there too.😊

Let’s take a look at this cutie!🌼

🌸Little Iris Girl Journal🌸

Don't you just love the lavender ribbon accent?🎀
It is a piece of soft satin ribbon I've been saving for

a special project!

All the pretty pages🙂

I made pockets, added a little sewn journal tablet, and lots of extra journaling cards.💕I also added a butterfly altered paperclip attached to one of the pages.

I think its a perfect gift for a special someone I know☺️

It’s the Crafty Daze very first blog post! Cool Beans!

🌸Hi, You can’t see me, but yup! I’m doing my happy dance! 💃 I finally got the nerve to dive into the world of blogging! I will be sharing my spin on crafting ideas seen all over the internet. I will give credit to the crafter who gave me the inspiration if it is not my own design! Hope you will enjoy my tips and tricks and pictures and videos of finished projects!😊 So let’s get started! Right now I’m into everything paper crafting. From altering composition books, binding my own books, and even altering simple paper clips. Did I mention the word ‘vintage’? I absolutely love vintage greeting cards, and I will search high and low for them! Just a note....I have loads of boxes from my dear mom and mother-in-law stored away in our garage. But since it’s -2°🧊outside right now in northern Wisconsin I might freeze looking through them! But, hey, if we get above 32° I might just go for it! Here are a few cards I have found before the deep freeze: They are so special to me I wish...

🐰🌷🐥Bunny & Chicks Altered Paperclips

🌷Hello crafty friends! Before I say goodbye to my favorite spring holiday, I have to share these adorable embellished paperclips! I found this precious paper collection online. They came all the way from New Zealand! Took awhile to get here, but worth the wait!💛I will put a link at the end of the post so you can order them too. I carefully wet the edges of each picture with a little paintbrush, then used my fingers to tear the pictures to the size I wanted. Let dry and used distress ink on the torn edges. I coated each picture with a glitter paint and then glued it along with all the ribbons, sequins and metallic thread onto a folded card stock rectangle. Then, I hot glued it shut with the paperclip inside and the larger part outside. I used my Cricut to design the cutest presentation card! By the way, I'm getting to really enjoy that purchase!🙂 🐥🐰Lets take a look at all these cute bunnies & chicks! Click on each picture for a sharper image. 🐥So Cute!🐰 🐥Each card will ...
