Hi crafty friends!! I hope you all are doing well and I hope that 2019 so far is treating you well. As for me, aside from spending lots of time with my grandbaby, I have come up with many projects that I intend on creating this year. I am inspired by crafty friends, by Pinterest, and Youtube as well as other social media sites. For example, this project was inspired by a crafty lady on YouTube that I frequently watch. Her tutorials are so easy to follow. I hope that you will go check out her YouTube channel. With that said , here is one of the projects that I created using one of her tutorials. They are very easy to follow so I hope you will check out her channel!!
So here is my Photo Folio Card. I used the Prima Lavender 6x6 paper pad and cut outs, & sticker. What's wonderful about this photo folio card that measures 4 x 5 1/4 , is that it can easily be mailed to that special someone in an A2 envelope.
On this project I used Helmar Craft Hobby PVA Glue
My experience has been that I try not to add too much or too thick on whatever surface that I am adhering. This prevents it from getting too wet and wrinkling your papers or your paper tearing. I do this with most of the wet glues.
If you follow the tutorial to this project, please keep in mind that the tutorial was for the base of this folio. Aside from following it, you need to adhere your design paper in between some of the steps.
I also love using the Tim Holtz Distress Inks on some of my projects for this one I used one of my favorite ones " Vintage Photo" . I didn't use any sort of embellishment, I did however use one of the thick stickers from the Lavender collection. Also you can use a brad to make your front pocket so it looks like a clasp envelope, as you will see in the tutorial. But I chose to use a piece of velcro instead. As a final step I cut out some of the sentiments from one of the 6x6 sheets as well as some of the journaling cards from the collection as well.
Well my crafty friends, I know this is short and sweet but I was having problems for a couple of days now on this blog site so I do hope you get to view this post! I wanted to post photos of the steps that I did but I do hope you take a look at the video tutorial and make one for someone special. I will be making a few more and sending them off to some crafty friends. Till next time!! Thank you for checking out my post for Jan. and I look forward to sharing with you all what I'll be creating in Feburary!! ~Hugs~ Jeanne
