Let's Make A CD Envelope For A Round Tag

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

A while ago I shared some upcycled round tags and said I was working on a CD style envelope for them ...well I finally got round to filming this and that is what I am bringing you today. I really love how this looks and after spending all day Friday packing up all the stuff my Youngest did not take with him when he moved in with his partner, I now need more packaging tape! Yay! I can make some more round tags 😂 


Let's Make A CD Envelope For A Round Tag


Measurements and Materials

  • To make my envelopes I used a vintage music sheet glued to a printable I had created
  • I cut it to size for my tag
    • 8" x 4 5/8"
    • Score on short side @ 1/2" on each end
    • Score on long side @ 3 5/8" & 7 1/4"
  • I used a circle die to cut my aperture 
  • I used a cello bag for the window


Now watch the video tutorial to see how this was made :-)

Jill & Gez Go Crafting with Stampin Up 2nd March



Just in case you are new to my blog let me introduce Jill (Paper Daisy Crafting) she is on the right of this photo (I am on the left). She has a lovely Blog which I am sure you will want to check out.


Project 1

Jill & Gez Go Crafting August 29th 2022



Jill made this beautiful card for a blog hop and then made it again for the video tutorial, you need to check out her blog to see the other colour. I love the colour combo of this card. 




Project 2

Jill & Gez Go Crafting August 29th 2022


I shared this card in a different colour way before. Jill has used the foiled paper that is FREE in Sale-A-Bration as the background of this lovely Christmas card. 


Project 3 


Jill & Gez Go Crafting August 29th 2022



Finally Jill has used the  the Silver & Gold Paper that is free in Sale-A-Bration again on this card.  Jill has been blending ink on it for this card, it takes colour so well. The sentiment 'happy' was made using another FREE sale-a-bration product. Amazing Phrasing stamp set. If you want to get your hands on any of these free products you only have a few days left, offer ends on 31st August. 




I hope you enjoyed the projects I chose and I hope you will go and check out Jill's Blog.

Share it Sunday Blog Hop - August 2022

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I am on another blog hop today, this time it is the Share It Sunday blog hop, where we can share anything! I recently got the new Artistic Mix decorative masks from Stampin' Up! after seeing a friend use them. I just love the way you can layer different colours with them. Such a beautiful background. I just added a simple sentiment and a ribbon as I thought the background did not need much else.
