Been crafting up a storm lately, still working on some Xmas decorations to share later on but playing around with those mini composition books and some leftover security envelope designs I came up with these cuties. Seen soooo many Moleskine revamps lately I had to try my own out, and who doesn't love a Hexi? except here's my dirty secret. They aren't Moleskine (oooohhh the very shame of it) I actually made these myself by covering Mini Composition books with some $ store craft paper. Easy…

My solution was to use security envelope linings, of which I have quite a few collected. Having cut up my traced and numbered drawing (see previous post), I started working from the background to the foreground. I laid each numbered template piece onto the selected envelope lining…

A while back, I made these security envelope cards. I still have stacks of junk mail security envelopes and wanted to use some of them up. Since most of the envelopes are blue, I decided to make a bird. To make a bird like this, draw or trace the outline of your bird onto a piece paper. Cut out feather shapes from your security envelopes and glue them onto the shape. The more envelope patterns you have, the more interesting your finished design will be. This is a craft that can also be…
