A Laminated Pouch

As I needed a money wallet for one of my great niece’s recent birthday,

I thought I’d have a try at making one for her. 

I found this one YouTube, which is a laminated pouch, but the lamination

is only on the outside of the card, not on the inside!

The tutorial is Ann’s from Positively Papercraft which you can find HERE

You can see the shine of the laminated card in this photo.

It’s a very clever and easy technique, which can be used for lots

of different embellishments too.

The card I used to make this is from The Works, and it’s a Mix and Match 

Design Pad, called Whimisical Pastels.

Another 'Clean and Simple' Birthday Card

Today's card is one I have made for my 'spares' box.

I used the September challenge sketch over at

 Clair and Sharni Get Crafty! Facebook group for the design of my card.

'That' embossing folder which was so difficult to get hold of when it came out

a while ago, is the perfect shape for this sketch challenge.

I embossed the lower part of the folder in white, and cut away the waste above

the wavy line. I attached it to a piece of embossed aqua card which I embossed

with the Sizzix embossing folder and used my Crop-A-Dile Corner

Chomper to round the two corners.

I used the de-bossed sides of both embossed pieces of card, and glued

them to the base card.

Next I used 3D foam pads to attach the sentiment, and Nuvo drops to decorate.

A very easy and quick card to make.

I have used the following products:-

Embossing Folder - Free gift with craft magazine

One of the two Sizzix Embossing Folders - Lace Set 2

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Circles and Scalloped Circles

DigiStamp Boutique - Essential Sentiments Set
