Easy Interactive Folio - Botanical Buzz

Welcome to my blog. Today I'm sharing another Easy Interactive Folio. I picked up this gorgeous pack of papers and rub on transfers from The Paper Hive and was keen to make something with them. The collection from 49 and Market is called Botanical Buzz and it's bee-utiful!


This folio was constructed from the 'Delicate' (#DBV-32284) sheet of paper from the collection. It has a front flap piece with a large brad closure, held together with some wrapped twine.


A small pocket to hold a tag was added to the inside flap to cover the brad's metal fasteners and a sentiment from the Rub-on Transfers pack was placed on the front cover.


A small belly band was attached to the inside cover (of the notebook section) to hold a hidden paper clip constructed from a couple of the rectangular images from the 'Blooming' (#DBV-32338) sheet of paper.


The notebook was sewn together with some wax thread using a pamphlet stitch and some punched circles were glued to the ends for extra embellishment. 


A corner pocket was glued to the back-inside cover and some rub-on transfers were added to various pages throughout the folio.


The front flap piece extended to the underside of the folio to form the two main pockets. 


I love making folios as an alternative to cards as they make lovely gifts for just about any occasion.

Here's a pic of the inside showing the flap, hidden paper clip and notebook.

Poppy Garden Pop-Up Gatefold Card

Image
Hi and welcome to my blog. Today I'm sharing the third card (out of 4) that I made for a Fun Folds Class  way back in July.  The card fold is called a  Pop-Up Gatefold  and this size is great for showing off those 6x6 papers you have in your stash. I have written instructions for this project which is part of a Tutorial Bundle. Just use the contact form on my blog to request a copy. Back I chose some beautiful scenic papers from the Poppy Garden Collection for the background and the pop-up section is full of beautiful poppy embossed die-cuts behind the picket fence. You can find a video tutorial for this type of card fold here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZvR0nGCxB8&list=PLNMGY_H7Glc8EpaH2qJKRR7i3u9s8xPO4&index=1 It's the same fold that I used for my Stamptember Project -  https://bronwyneastleydesigns.blogspot.com/2025/09/thankful-florals-stamptember-collab.html Featured Products Shop for Products at Paper Rose Studio -  https://paperrose.co...

'Little Bakers' Bitty Bakery Cupcake Box

Image
Welcome to Spring in my part of the world. I'm starting off the month with a very cute 3D project. It's a forerunner to a DT project that I made which will be published on the 8th September (I cannot wait to share that one with you!). So here's a little peek at some new products from Paper Rose Studio -  Little Bakers Collection! While searching for some 'bakery themed' ideas, I came across this FREE TEMPLATE for a Bitty Bakery Cupcake Box from MadeByMarzipan  (with an accompanying video tutorial on YouTube). It was so much fun to put together. If you look closely I've popped a tray of choc chip cookies in the oven ( Little Bakers Embossed Die-Cuts ). How adorable is that! The oven mitt was cut down to size and I added a cute little chef as a prop. Some lovely paper from the collection was added to the sides of the oven and I lined out the inside of the box with some dark grey squares of metallic foil. I decided not to use this box for my next Design Team submi...

Hi and welcome to Bronwyn Eastley Designs (formerly known as AddINKtive Designs). I'm so glad that you've found your way to my current blog. Please spread the word that I've moved back to Blogger and follow along if you're able to ... This year I have the wonderful privilege of being on the Design Team for Paper Rose Studio . If you haven't come across their gorgeous range of paper collections, metal cutting dies etc. you really should do yourself a favour and check out their website. They have some very cute collections including Fairytale Christmas which I'm featuring today in my second DT project for the month of August.

CARD 1 I decided to make the card bases from the Sea Mist Shimmer Cardstock (such a gorgeous colour and so shimmery). CARD 2 The shaker ele...
