Simply Elegant Paper Mask Holder

My tutorial today was more a necessity than fun.

I always keep a disposable mask in my coat pockets

in case of emergencies

(like needing to use a loo when out walking etc)

but they become quite tatty after a while.

So I decided to make a little cover for them.

When I use the mask I can just bin it

and pop a fresh one in the little holder.

They do sit nice and flat in my pocket or handbag

and it's a great way to use up old paper.

You can watch this quick and easy video tutorial here

I have used papers called Simply Elegant

which are very posh looking indeed!

The sentiment is from a Good Man

and ink was memento.

Measurements I used

Paper - 8 1/4" x 4 3/4"

Score short side - 1/2" both sides

Score long side - 3 3/8", 6 3/4"

(masks can vary slightly in size but they can be trimmed if needed)

 

Double Tag it!

 

Our challenge theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by the lovely Wendy and she wants to see a

tag on tag!

For my tag I have used the gorgeous new papers called

Simply Elegant.

Using the matching bundle called

Elegantly Said

I have stamped the flowers in bumblebee ink,

cut them out and arranged along the bottom of the large tag.

I punched the top using the scallop tag top punch and

added a ribbon.

I then punched out the smaller tag using the new punch

from the bundle.

I lightly stamped the flower image in bumblebee,

then stamped the sentiment in memento.

I added a bumblebee gem

and added the tag to the larger one.

I finished of by inking up a small piece of scrap card

using bumblebee ink.

I then stamped the same wording on top

and then punched out a small dragonfly

using the Dragonfly Punch.

I would like to enter this into

Vintage Butterfly Photo Box Tutorial

I had made one of these photo boxes for a friend

recently and she had a friend who saw it

and of course requested one.

The first one was filled with photos of someone

for any occasion....

anniversary, new baby, new house, graduation etc.

So I thought I would made a video while doing the second one.
