Emeralds, I think are my favorite gem...
I created the env using Genoa Bond paper and my funky lettering style, doodling in each letter. Sponged some Distress brown around the edges. Added a bunch of stamps I liked.
The card was made after an ECS class with Sally Towers-Syblliss

Our AofF for June had one thought being an Isosceles triangle project... but then they decided something else... but my head was already in the isosceles mode...
We were to take a square piece of paper and divide it in half both ways and half again and trim off the excess to create perfect isosceles triangles. I did a 2nd piece and adhered them together at their edges...
I then created another one slightly smaller from Genoa Bond paper. Then I cut smaller triangles from marbled paper I created eons ago and adhered them to the Genoa paper
The whole thing folds up into a neat triangle with a little paper band to keep it closed
Then cut out letters from misc black paper to spell out "Play Is Therapy
I saw this cute bow origami env and had to make 1 (actually had to make 2 others before I got to this one...)
Hopefully this gets you to where I saw it on Instagram (Raushan Willms Apr 16/26 https://www.instagram.com/reels/DXHjahnthlm/)
I used my purple toned geli printed paper 20cm sq
I love the bow it makes.

I love making these kind of decorated cap letters.
Used Unibal gold gel pen and Prisma colored pencils on our calligraphy paper (Genoa Bond).
The card was made a while back and resting in my stash. Just some hexagons I was playing with at the time.
Draw a circle that's larger than your folded booklet and cut the corners away to give the illusion of a round booklet which will keep your spines safe.
I used geli prints, pink and blue cardstock using a floral punch and adhered them to each page alternating color etc. Then cut smaller flowers and Peel Off glitter centers.
Added text to the geli print flowers in a funky hand with a gold gel pen.
words: Blossom (on the cover) and Blooming (on the inside - 1 letter per page).
size: 4.25"w x 2.25"h closed
I've been playing with Celtic letters recently because of a class by the Edmonton Calligraphy Society. I decided to make a booklet of the two lettering styles I liked so I didn't have large pages to carry around...
I had these paper ends from my Guilds genoa bond paper laying in my stash and decided it would make a nice booklet. Then the booklet was laying on my desk and decided these letters would fit in nicely...
The letters look similar in the images but they have quite a few differences within the alphabet.
The cover was a piece of cold press w/c paper I had done some sort of background on and laying in my stash. Hand bound with 3ply un-waxed linen thread. Wrote the word "Celtic" in one of the styles with a pointed nib and misc white ink.
