ZUTTER DISTRESS IT ALL -"GREEN PROJECT"- ART PORTFOLIO

Hi Crafters!
This project is all about recycling!!!

I used the following materials for this project:

Zutter Distress it all Machine
Brass O Wires
Tim Holtz On the edge dies
Tim Holtz Baroque Die
Donna Salazar-inspired flowers
Teressa Collins chipboard for the crown (cover)
Ranger Paint Dabbers
Ranger Distress Ink Pads
Trims
Dymo Labeler
Old ruler
Acetate/Transparency (for Stamp Pockets)
Old Corrugated Boxes
 and
old mouse pads (for homemade stamps)

As you can see, I used corrugated boxes for my front/back covers
and the pages of this ART PORTFOLIO.

I Love Tim's "on the edge" dies.... so perfect for this project.

This book serves as my "ART PORTFOLIO" , it currently
serves as the organizer for my homemade foam stamps ----

there's a small velcro to keep the front edge strip from dancing around :)

As for the doily flowers??? well, they were inspired by Donna Salazar's blog.

a pocket "fence" for some extra stuff I want to keep inside my portfolio.

Now I am so proud of this... I made my own foam stamps using old mouse pads! :)
and they worked perfectly with some of my projects... i will post them soon.

Each page can hold 2-3 stamps depending on the size.
I made a clear insert envelope for each page... to hold the
stamps in place.
and I also used the negative of the baroque die cut
as a frame... which can hold additional stamps.

another small pocket for a small stamp, maybe ?:)

It can hold 2-3 stamps... 

fence pocket :)

more pages and pockets.

The Back Cover.

Just love how chunky it looks :)

Try making a book of your own using the
stuff you have lying around the house....
plus some imagination and creativity :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting!
