Happy, happy, joy, joy....glad it is the weekend. Had a great class this morning and then came home and made a little treat "folder" for the Our Craft Lounge Challenge for this week.
This week the challenge is "spooky and sweet" and I managed to wrap both of those up in this one project.
This week the challenge is "spooky and sweet" and I managed to wrap both of those up in this one project.
I created a simple folder from a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 sheet of kraft cardstock. I scored at 4" from each of the ends to create a little folder with a 1/2" spine. I didn't create a pocket for the inside, instead I just added some Tombow Mono Dots Adhesive to the inside and stuck a snack size bag of Nutter Butter cookies right on top.
I ran the folder through my Cuttlebug with a Sizzix plaid patterned embossing folder. Sorry, I don't know the name. I then went about decorating the front with various scraps of paper that were on my desk. I cut the spiderwebs with my Cameo from THIS Silhouette cut file. I stamped the sentiment and spider from the Our Craft Lounge A Little Witchy set and tied the folder closed with some 1/8" black velvet ribbon from May Arts. I thought this ribbon might be too fancy, but it kinda looks like fuzzy spidey legs :)
