#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 17 O

Day 17, O - One page wonder

One page wonders are always fun, I think. There are so many clever people out there who come up with the coolest ideas. This one I made today is about as simple as they come. One sheet of 8.5x11 paper, fold and sew, or glue if you aren't the sewing type. I used a page from Crafty by Toni's 30K Freebie digital kit for my project. Butterfly, photo, and other paper embellishments are included in the kit. These papers are so gorgeous - and she has generously given them free! Check out her ko-fi shop and download your kit.

I used a velcro closure for mine.

Mini license plates

Such a fun digital file by Jennifer Beebe Art on Ko-fi. These license plates look so authentic irl with this amazing faux rust. Quarter for scale

Just look at the detail. It looks and acts just like real rust. Can you guess what it is? Check out Jennifer's Instagram where she shows you exactly how to do it. Did you guess yet? It is instant coffee!! Yep. Cool

Teeny tiny screw top brads by Tim Holtz. They give these mini license plates an amazingly realistic finished look.

Today's letter is M. I have made a Manly, Masculine, Metal, and Magnetic Mini-folio. I am so pleased with the way it turned out.

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 14 L

Today's letter L - licenses

For today's project I created a Father's Day card using a license plate background digital file by Jennifer Beebe. I love these files she created. Using the license plates as my theme, I added this dapper gentleman and his machine, as automobiles were often referred to in the early days.
