Take a 8 1/2 X 11 card stock stamp & collage on it. Stamps I used: Recommendation by Stampington, Dada by Stampers Anonymous. I used Brilliance Galaxy Gold. The Paris Collage sheet from Wonderland Emporium was also used. After you done with the Cardstock just trace the template on to your CS and cut out, score and fold and sew in the pages. Embellishments and fibres are added. As a closure I used Velcro self stick spots. |
To make a simple template take some card 10 1/2 x 8 ins fold over 4 ins, cut remainding 2 1/2 ins into a triangle make the bottom flaps 2 1/2 ins deep, cut inner side at an angle, fold up score 2 lines 1/4ins apart and fold triangle over to form a flap, see pics The envelope below can be made in a similar way, by twisting the design around |

I just took some black beading string and knotted it with a loop to use as the catch for the dice on the end to make it fasten. Then I drilled holes in the dice, tiles with letters & other wood game pieces and strung them. You can tie knots between each one but not necessary especially till you know it fits. The I added the jacks, monopoly game pieces which some I had punched a hole in { with a hammer & nail} if there was no other way to attach it to wire or string to add hanging from in between the other pieces. I am sure you can do some variations on this too. Cathleen Perkins |
