Birthday batch cards

As I mentioned in my last post, I have recently re joined / re activated myself in one of the local Aussie card swap groups. 

In the address list, there are also some birthdates attached. Not everyone, but majority of the group have their dates listed, so I thought it would be nice to send a little card to each member for their special day.

I know myself that cards are a now becoming a limited and sparce thing shared between loved ones. I also I know that as we are usually the one's that are doing the gifting, we tend to be forgotten. 

So, with this in mind, I wanted to hopefully be able to spread a little smile when people that are not normally on the receiving end of the cards to get one in the mail.

RAKS box pockets

As you all may be aware from my updates, I have recently had some time back at my craft desk. The first real quality time in my creative space in a couple of years. 

To get the creative spark rolling, I reactivated myself in one of the swap groups. I used to belong to many groups, but have left most of them over the years as I found it would be quite heartbreaking. 

Anyway, I'm back active again and truly loving it. 

Below is two very quick wide pockets I made to hold some RAK's that I sent out for April. 
Very simple, but affective.

Fold Up Pocket with Side Tucks - swaps

 This was another fun swap with a cool little twist addition. 

Fold Up Pockets with Side Tucks

These were another great project to fill up with embellishments for my swap partner to use. 


I used three different Kaisercraft 6.5x6.5 paper pads. One for each. It was so good to just add collectables in the pocket slots and have everything match easily without too much thinking. 
Since this swap didn't have a specific theme, I chose to make all 3 different themes.

Floating Pockets - swaps

 Floating Pockets

These very simple designed swaps are for use with journals or other projects. 
They can be an additional element added to make an interactive part of a layout or Junk Journal. 

So with that in mind, I was trying to be quite deliberate with the accessories that I included in the pockets, as these too can be used as embellishments to add a cohesive feel for the person who may use it. 

These were all put together using an older Uniquely Creative collection.

Matchbook Pockets - swap

I'm back today to share project number 2 for the 6 swaps I signed up for this month. 

These are Matchbook Pockets. 

I'm not sure why they are called that, I know them as something slightly different, but I love the idea that it is an old style matchbook slide in for the top to secure it. 

I used a Prima collection for this one. I made 3 to start with, which are the required amount, but had a little bit leftover so throw the forth one together to use up the supplies. YAY!
