#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 30 Z

Guys, I'm out of town for a few days so I've scheduled this one. Be back next week with more crafting. Have a great weekend! Love you all. 

Final day of #abcapril2026 - Z. I'm out of the studio for a few days, but wanted to finish up the awesome ABC series, so these last couple of letters I did earlier and scheduled the posts so you don't miss a thing. What the heck do you do with Z, right? Last year I sort of cheated and did "zine" (magazine). Won't be doing that. Here's my project for Z. 

Jumbo tag measures 7 1/4x3 1/2 inches. "zipper" die by My Favorite Things. So cute for creating hidden messages or gift cards or however you want to surprise your recipient. 

Closer view of the zipper. I also made a teeny one for the mini tag. So cute. And did you also notice the ZEBRAS? A Heidi Swapp stamp. I love them. 

A few black and white stripey elements as well. 

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 29 Y

#abcapril2026, Day 29 letter Y - Yellow

Folio design by idaizee on YouTube. Love her fabulous ideas and amazing videos. Check out her channel. 

Hanging file folder. Love it! 

Pockets and tags and inserts galore. I used digital files for the 'documents'. 

For the inside pages I used the ochre color swatch 6x8 paper pack by 49 and Market. 

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 28 X

X is a tough one. I put out some feelers and got lots of great suggestions - thank you all so much. Since I did x-ray last year, I wanted to do something different this time and just couldn't get anything else in my head. LOL Here is my offering for the letter X - Day 28, #abcapril2026. 

X - Ten - 10 
Nothing special, just a tag, but I like it! I added a few charms because charms are fab. 

Second project for Day 27 W - #abcapril2026

My second project for today, because I wanted to play with resin, I made these timepiece charms. Aren't these cool?! Some time ago I purchased several old (not functioning) watches from the thrift store and took them apart. Have you ever thought of how many pieces are inside one watch?! These pieces BARELY made a dent in the container of watch parts I obtained. Aren't they so cool. :) 

Edited to add this photo to show that these are clear. Didn't realize it would be impossible to tell photographing them over a white background. Oops. Anyhoo....

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 27 W

#abcapril2026, Day 27 W - washi tape

I made these bookmarks using washi tapes. Not much else to say about them. Die by My Favorite Things.

Several washi tapes over black cardstock, then die cut.

Again, washi over black cardstock. 

This one has just a little trim of washi over pattern paper. I did make the tassel also.

Cute matchbook style ticket books

Crafty by Toni made these cute Voucher books for today's V letter for #abcapril2026. They are so cute I decided to work along and made a couple of them too. Hope you like. 

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 25 V

Day 25 of #abcapril2026 is letter V - Vintage, Vellum 

Today's project is another jumbo tag. These make great pockets or tucks in a journal, and/or a nice spot on the back for journaling. 

Vellum butterfly faux postage stamps. Die by Elizabeth Crafts. 

Making charms and dangles is so much fun. I love this image of the sweet children and had to make it a focal point. So cute. By the way, this one is made with glossy accents instead of UV resin, which is also a great option for these as it dries so much faster. 

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 24 U

#abcapril2026 Day 24, letter U for Utilize the Underused. I have several tools and products in my stash that I don't use often, so for today's project I utilized my paper crimper. As much as I love the look it gives and the texture it provides to your piece, I don't think of using it as much as I would like. Anyway, here is my project using the paper crimper. 

For my crimped pieces, I used a scrap of file folder and a torn piece of packaging envelope.

Ribbon, cheesecloth, charms, eyelet, jump rings and bulb pin add even more texture. 

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 23 T

Only a week left of #abcapril2026. Seems like we just started this series, but here we are. It's been fun and I love having something to work on every day. I did miss posting yesterday as I was not home, but here we go with Day 23, T for Tabs. 

Running out of page tabs, I decided to make a few to add to the few I had left. I had forgotten how fun these are to make.
