Flora and Fauna Photo wallet / gift card

A couple of weeks ago I found a nice little Youtube tutorial for a photo wallet made of only one piece of doublesided 12×12 inch paper (30×30 cm). So I chose a beautiful, stylish piece of design paper by K&Company, Flora and Fauna, and got to work.

Keeping a bit low profile with the embellishments, I tried to make the wallet as flat as possible. Assuming the person who receives it might want to keep her business cards nicely together in her handbag, any 3D embellisments or bling would run the risk of coming off and getting lost in said handbag. So I kept it nice, flat and simple and just used some ribbon and a border punch.

Here’s the minimalist yet still very feminine end result!

Candles to match your Easter / spring ornaments

So I decoupaged some Easter eggs a couple of days ago. Saturday, the day before Easter, I decided I definitely needed some candles to go with them. So, here they are!

I used the same napkin technique, only this time with different glue of course, in order to be able to light them safely. It’s a special candle podge, which will prevent your napkins from catching fire – instead, they’ll neatly melt along with your candle. Perfect.

So, here’s the three decoupaged candles, and my springtime living room to match! 🙂

Dutch translation:

Drie geservette kaarsen in Paas-/lentethema zorgen voor extra kleur en gezelligheid! Let op: om kaarsen te servetten moet je wel speciale lijm gebruiken om ongelukken te voorkomen (zie foto hierboven).

How to use every last piece of scrapbook paper

I don’t know about you, but I don’t like to throw away my lovely scrapbook paper. Not even the smallest pieces! No doubt there’s lots of creative things to be done with them, I just haven’t figured all of them out yet 😉

But: here’s one!

Een beetje scrapper vindt het niet leuk om papier weg te gooien en zou het liefst alles bewaren, ook de kleinste stukjes. Dan is het wel handig om wat ideetjes achter de hand te hebben voor wat je dan met die snippers zou kunnen doen. De meeste ervan moet ik zelf ook nog uitvinden, maar hier is er alvast eentje!
