MAKE IT MONDAY # 2 - CD Covers
Hi everyone,
Well I can’t believe it is time for number 2 already!!!! How fast did that week go!
This week I have done the following tutorial for CD Covers…..I know some of you have been waiting patiently for this one too! So here you go………. and thanks for your patience!!!
Materials Required:
-
Cardstock
-
Stamps
-
DS paper
-
Punches
-
Wide grosgrain ribbon
-
Stamp pads
-
Paper trimmer
Step 1:
Cut a sheet of A4 cardstock at 14cm
Step 2:
Score cardstock at 14cm to create a square
Step 3:
Fold your cardstock over at the scored line
Step 4:
Trim the excess strip off, so that you are left with a 14 x 14 square
Step 5:
Stamp the outer edges where the fold lies
Step 6:
Place double sided tape to the edge on one side of the folded cardstock and close the cardstock together to make a pocket
Step 7:
At the open end of the pocket, punch a half circle with a 1 3/8 circle punch
Step 8:
Add a 4cm wide strip of DS paper around the whole pocket
Step 9:
Add a 7cm wide strip of DS paper which slightly overlaps the smaller strip
Step 10:
Add some wide Grosgrain ribbon and tie off on the front
Step 11:
Last of all decorate your Cover, ie add a tag, or stamped image. Then place your CD in its cover!
Another idea…..
Here I have taken my CD cover and used it on a Scrapbook page. It is a great way to save photos onto a disc and keep them in a safe place in your Scrapbook album, especially for a special event, like an engagement party, baptism, milestone birthday etc…
Using the CD Covers for gifts is also a great way to give others photos from an event, whilst making it special also.
Well I hope you enjoyed that tutorial…..
Take care!

Hi Keesh - (I don’t normally post on your site cos I’m growlling at myself for not phoning you more often) But I have to post todayto let you know this one is beautiful and one of my favourites too. Hope you are having a good day!! Love Mandy xx
That is a great idea Makeesha…love it. We often give a CD of photos to others from an event as my DH takes many wonderful photos and loves to share them. I will definitely give that a go.
Hi Makeesha! I love your step-by-step tutorial! The page is adorable, too. I’m so jealous that you have that Occasions Mini now — it’s soooo yummy! Sure hope that Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware makes it into the BIG BOOK!! Have a great day (night now??) LOL!!! Take care,

Perfect layout and colours for the gorgeous dress your sweet girl is wearing in the photos. Awesome tutorial too!
Hi Keesh, Gorgeous layout and colours on the scrapbook page! I might have to case it, as Kiera has the same dress
Got some great shots of her in it at J&J’s wedding. Take care and keep up the great work!!
