The promised DIY post: "How to make a fake rice paper envelope" Using the new collection: "This Lovely Life" by Annette Green       How to make fake rice paper:   Use 1 part of coffee and 2 parts of tacky glue and mix it well together.  (Instead of coffee you can also use tea or water with distress ink).     Use an insert sleeve and mark the size of your napkin Add the mixture with a brush on your sleeve    Add one layer of your napkin or tissue paper and another layer of your mixture.

   I am so happy to share with you my first post with the new release: "This Lovely Life" by Annette Green. For the background I used design paper of the new collection, stamped the swirls on it and embossed it with copper powder then I added some text with sepia colored ink. The butterflies are colored with Copic markers and I used gel pens for the edges and white dots. The banner, zig zag lines and texts are die cuts.   Ingredients of this journal page:   Clear stamps: Love & Roses CS351   Die cutting folders: Classic Alphabet 2140 Borders & Trims 2139 Circles, Banners & Ribbons 2138 Background paper: Harmonious Hodgepodge C024   If you'd like to order at Elizabeth Craft Designs you can get 10% off when using this code at checkout:  CREAJACQUELINE ( Minimum purchase of $25 required)   Stay tuned, because there will be coming more inspiration using the new release: "This Lovely Life" by Annette Green     Stay tuned on my Instagram: crea.jacquelin

  A new post and this time I made a pocket letter! I've used a lot of stamps and the leaves of this collection: Annette Green - Everyday Elements The cards of a pocket letter are the same size as an ATC card: 2.5 by 3.5 inches/ 64 x 89 mm You can add them in a pocket page and if you'd like you can send it to someone with a little note or letter attached. Most of the time you would add goodies as well in the pockets.   I've colored the fox, other animals, flowers  and the mushrooms with Copic markers. Distressed all the die cuts and backgrounds and added some stamps as well.   Ingredients of this pocket letter:   Clear stamps: Happy: CS299 Honeybee CS300 Woodland Critters CS243   Die cutting folders: Lace Borders 2022 Mushroom & Ferns 2083 Small Doilies 2018 Large Doilies 2019 Florals 5 1841 Background paper: Abandoned Papers C017 Copic marker Black gel markers White Posca marker Distress ink - vintage photo Cardstock and a music sheet If you'd like to order at Eli
