Top Tip Tuesday Gifts

Hello and welcome here! This week the Top Tip Tuesday Challenge is Gifts...this can be something you've made for a gift, or the image you use has a gift in it, and Moriah has shared a Tutorial on making Paper Cones, they are so easy and such a great idea.

Challenge - Gifts
Tutorial - Paper Cones


Notebook Size: 6" x 9"

I covered a few notebooks that can be used to give as gifts. This is my favourite one...I added a couple more I made at the bottom of this post. I used Our Daily Bread Design stamp Path of Life. I stamped the image with black ink and coloured it with chalks, which gives it a nice, soft look.

This Week's Sponsor's:

Simon Says Stamp - $20 gift voucher


Robyn's Fetish - 4 stamps of your choice


and for the Top Tipper
Di's Digi Downloads - 5 digi stamps of your choice


I cut my patterned paper at least 1/2" bigger than the cover. That's so that I can wrap it around the edges and then I add another piece of matching patterned paper, 1/4" smaller than the cover, to hide those edges on the inside cover. You can see what I mean in the photo below.

Recipe: CTMH PP-Sonoma, CTMH CS-Petal, Pansy Purple & Colonial White, CTMH Ink-Black, Distress Ink-Frayed Burlap, Nestabilities-Labels 17, Martha Stewart All Over the Page Caning Pattern Punch, Martha Stewart Pinking Scallop Border Punch, Organdy Ribbons, Recollections Pearl Brad, Foam Squares, Dew Drops, Chalk.

Here are a couple more I made as well.
