Fun CD Holder Photo Album

Hello,

These are so fun to make. I used two CD holders to make a small photo album.
The papers are from Pinecone Press. They are their brand new Halloween designs. I choose some of the colors to make it look more like a Guy or Fall book for the second book you see here.
I used a Sizzix die to make my tags and envelopes.
I wll be planning a class for this in the future. Watch the calender for date.
Let me know what you think.

Blessings, Diane























Paper Tole Art Cards

Hello,
What is Paper Tole Art you ask? An art form for over 200 years, Paper Tole is highly prized for its total uniqueness. Paper Tole is a crafting idea of making soothing and spectacular three-dimensional images. Paper Tole is a craft where several prints of the same picture are gathered and its major components are painstakingly cut by hand using exacto knives and artful skill. Artisans know of the costly expense and consumption of time required to master an image. They must have knowledge of cutting as well as what to cut, what to keep, what to throw away and how to glue, block, shape, and form. If you do a search for Paper Tole you can find some magnificent art work.

Not to diminish the true quality art form, I have a made a much simplified version. I absolutely love these cards. They may require a little time to cut the layers, but the beauty of the finished card is so worth the time.

I will be having two classes for these cards. July 10th at Diane's Place and July 21st at Pinecone Press. Check the calendar for time, cost and supply list. There will be a total of 3 projects. I hope you can come. Don't feel intimidated. I will make the process easy for you. Please feel free to leave your comments.

Blessings, Diane
