Hello Kitty Folder

 

CH #34: Anything but a card or a tag

This week we have 2 great sponsors:

Be sure to check out their sites for all their goodness!!

I decided to make one of my folders for this challenge!  Of course it's Hello Kitty!  I used a mead folder for this project, it is very durable, inexpensive and has a lot of pockets!  I used the My Little Twin Stars paper tape and ran it across the folder from end to end creating a stripped look.  I made the Hello Kitty head with my big shot in coordinating colors, light blue and brown.  This color combo is great for someone who likes Hello Kitty, but not really girly or that into pink.  A very simple project, and a great way to add some excitement to a regular folder. 

 

 

 

Hello Kitty Tag

 Earlier in the summer, I made a bunch of different critters and other cutouts with the cricut.  I made some Hello Kitty for back to school books and memory game cards.  Since I had some left over items, I've been using them for cards and tags.  I used Hello Kitty paper tape same as I used with the composition books.  I recycled the ribbon from a banner that I made and tie it on to the tag.  Another quick and simple project.  This tag can easily be used for any occasion. 

Simple Can Always Be Fun!

A simple composition book on sale cost less than a dollar! Of course I bought 10! 

Decided to sass them up a little!  I added Hello Kitty scrapbook paper to cover the outside of the book.

I added some Hello Kitty paper tape to the spine of the book to cover up the black edge.

This is the inside of the cover, I made sure not to cover up any important information that may be needed in the future!

I added a scrap piece of grosgain polka dot ribbon for a boo marker.  I glued it down and then covered it with another strip of paper tape to make it look a little more presentable. 

This is the book mark in action! Another ribbon could be added, if you want more then 1 book mark.

I had a piece of polka dot paper left over from the lunch bunch card, so I used to to matte the white piece of paper.  I added a Hello Kitty sticker that I had for a little more cuteness!  In a matter of 10 minutes or so, I've turned a simple composition book into something cute and fun! Great idea for kids!  I'm all about making things fun for them, especially school!!
