But one thing that doesn't make me grumpy is the wonderful work of Heather Ellis, creator of the Pure Innocence stamp/digi stamp range. Who could fail to be captivated by these little cuties? So today's card is Pure Innocence 10, and what a sweetheart she is.

I coloured this little cutie with my Copics, layered her on to brown Earth Love and then onto a pearlised salmony-pink. I used my Martha Stewart edge punch to pretty up a piece of brown card, added a couple more strips of Earth Love and a big satin bow before laying the lot on a background of Earth Love salmon-pink pebbles. A final button flourish and there she is. So sweet.
Despite having a lazy Sunday, I found time today to write up the template and instructions for the little box I made yesterday to hold the set of vintage cards. I've decided to call it my 'Envelobox'.
This template isn't a 'print and make' template, however, because I wanted to give you the ability to change this template to match any size of card you want. Here's the basic idea:
I've also produced some proper instructions (which are a bit long to post here) and you can get these by following this link.
The great thing about this template is that it can be used for any size of card by applying some simple rules for measurement. It could be used, as I did, to make a holder for a set of cards; it could also be used as an envelope for a 3-dimensional or heavily-embellished card, as long as it is made from sturdy cardstock. It would work equally well to hold a set of coasters or a chocolate bar - you choose!
Let me know if you like it by leaving a comment - better yet, let me see what you've made with the template.
Right, it's time for a bit of TV, a cup of tea and bed.
Happy crafting.
This is brilliant! TFS!
