Matchbook Note Pads w/ Puffy Flower Covers

Here we go, a blast from the past making matchbook note pads. I used a Me & My Big Ideas paper pad (Sunshine). I applied distress ink to the cover, especially on the white cut edges and folds, and I like to use slick/shiny brochure paper for my notes. Here are two variations:

I found the easy template at this fabulous blog and here are instructions for the puffy paper flowers (go down to the middle of the post).

Enjoy!

I posted a project in a Christmas in July chat party last week. I had no idea there was going to be a contest! YES I won, but I do believe I was the only one that posted a project :) Others offered ideas and recipes. I received a few suggestions for improvement and redid the card. 

Here it is! This is a 5" x 6.5" corrugated card. I used a gold leafing pen around the edges of the cardstocks. I scored a 1/4" border around the red piece and added the gold cord bow.

I embellished with a few glitter pens and a black glaze pen to write the word joy. A simple idea for Christmas cards. I'm not sending this one, it is not centered. But then, imperfection adds character so who knows? Thanks for looking!
