Risurievun näpertelyt

This year I only made two Christmas cards. Same theme as last year (reindeer). I used old book pages for the silhouettes. The black paper is also from a book.     Merry Christmas to everybody 😊

Notebook one: Before/front  Notebook one: Before/back  Here are two notebook cover-ups, which I have made quite recently. As materials for the first notebook, I used a paper gift bag to cover the old original cover. I also added an elastic band plus the metal ring from another old notebook. I really liked the pattern on the paper bag, even though it looks a bit confusing but the colors were nice. As the material for the second notebook, I used a bit of gift paper, which I had saved.  (If you have some nice looking gift paper as left over you could use it to decorate or cover a notebook.) I used this to add a final touch for both of the notebooks.

 Here are two pairs of earrings, which I made last week. I bought those little mix tape decorations a few years ago, I found them quite recently so I decided to make earrings. I got those owl earrings, from a friend and I wanted to try to make a pair of earrings adding some small beads.

This paper card rose I made from an old book page. I made this card to a friend of mine. I had a simple boring looking card board folder and I wanted to decorate it. So I made a paper butterfly for it. The material was a piace from an old crafting magazine template sheet.

Here are two projects which I have made recently. I found the tutorial from a Finnish crafting magazine. For the pocket material with the blue covered book, I used twelve sheets of scrapbook paper. I tried to use regular tape for the pockets, but it wasn't a great idea, so I used duck tape to keep the pockets in place. I used scrapbooking paper for the inside of the covers so they would look nicer.  This blue one is half recycled. As for the purple one I used those sheets which you use to organize your folders. (these seemed that they were made of some kind of plastic). I used hot glue to keep the pockets in place and that seemed to be working.  The second one is fully recycled.

Here is a birthday card which I have made for my friend.  I made this card last month. I also wanted to add a face,so it would not look so empty. Yes and it needed a small birthday hat because it was a birthday card. 😀 He liked this card.  I think that these simple paper cutting cards are quite relaxing to make.
