Decorative book corner

Good afternoon everyone and thanks for popping in today . 

As promised I am going to show you how we made the decorative book corners on Saturday. 

The corner stamps are perfect for these. 

I have to say that I got the idea from the lovely Lynne Hammond, I remember she did something similar a few years ago. 

Thanks Lynne for the inspiration. 

I decided to use an old envelope as the base...

I don’t know about you, but I seem to have so many envelopes lying around.

Obviously the measurements depend on how large you want the corner.

I decided on a five inch, by five inch..

Then I made a diagonal cut . 

This forms the base of my corner pocket .

I cut two triangles of card and then stamped on them . 

Next I added some colour , 

Followed by some inking and stencil work. 

And then some faux stitching 

This is the front and back of the pocket . 

Q

Finally I sprayed them both with Spray N Sparkle...

Just to protect the ink when handling it. 

And to make it pretty .....

I do like a bit of sparkle...

Speaking of which last night I had a wonderful time with Fran ...

She made a Christmas Wreath....

We had such a lovely time together .

This is it in the day....and in the evening

You just switch the lights on.

Look 

I love it Fran and can’t wait to see it hanging up in your flat . 

I have a special Christmas workshop on Saturday with more friends making more wreaths...

I am really looking forwards to it 

Especially the mince pies and Prosecco ..

Tomorrow is Hazel Grove workshops...more mince pies and crafting with friends...

Oh I am so lucky...

Take care all.

Group hug...
