My mission statement for this blog: Track the progress of my resolution to start a new craft project every week, create some sweet gifts and bolster my crafting street cred. This is the record of how it's going.

Project 233: Embossed sheet wallets
CLAIRE IS IN LONDON!
Yays all around.
We are going to try to fit in a few craft sessions while she's here but I wanted to have a few little things to give her when she arrives. A while ago I saw a post about a crafter who created a little embossing folder wallet thing for another craft friend and I thought it would be perfect - except I can't find where I saw it! Pinterest? A blog? YouTube? No idea.
So I decided to make up my own!
I chose some really busy papers that are pretty but hard to use in card making as a base. I chose an alternative paper for the lining and added a little fold-down bit to give it some style and also make it easier to pull sheets in and out.
I embossed 5 sheets in card stock that matched the folders: houndstooth in purples and pinks for the butterfly wallet and basket weave in tropical colors for the floral wallet.
It's a simple gift and one that shows I'm just so anxious for our playdate.
SEE YOU SOON BUDDY!
