Hello everyone!
It's Isa today on the blog and I come with a new project made with Nordica and Cozy Time. Both collections are amazing. I know I always say the same but every time we have a new Studio Forty collection I fell in love even more with all the new things that I get at home! They are all so beautiful!
For today's post I come with a new coptic book. I love making at least one of them with every collection that I have at home. And this time the occasion was very special because I got to use the two collections together.
They combine perfectly well so there was no problem in working with them at the same time. I have combined elements from both collections for the cover of the coptic book and the decorations I have added on the spine of the book. I have used for the covers two pieces of wood that I cut myself. I like making them like these, I find them more original. This time I wanted to play with the holes for the binding, and trying different combinations with them.
I have painted the cover with a color that combined some of the elements of the Cozy Time collection. I have also used the chipboards and the enamels from the collection which are amazing.
On the inside of the book I have used all the papers that belong to both collections and the result is great. The cold and warm colors combined together are perfect harmony.
In the cover I decided to cut some elements from the PL cards and the TN inserts to create my own die cuts and combine them for the cover.
I did the same in the spine, combining beads, chipboards and elements that I cut myself to create new die cuts to add on the spine.
I hope you liked it and I will be back very soon with new projects to show! Take care! Lots of love,Isa

Hello everyone!!
It's Isa today and I am thrilled to present you a new project using the Lunare collection which I love so much.
As I am used to doing with the collections of Studio Forty I have prepared a 3x4 inches copta book using all the patterned papers of the Lunare collection. For the cover I decided to use two pieces of wood that I cut myself and I painted them in black with acrylic paint and then I used some white spray paint to add the drops and add this effect of galaxy and space. I also cut some decorations from the papers and from the paper that has journaling cards to add the elements of the cover.
In the spine of the book I have been adding some embellishments and beads, tassels...even chipboards from the Lunare collection itself. I love to have them full of decorations hanging there. I think they are the most beautiful details to add in these kind of projects.
On the inside all the papers I used are from the Lunare collection. I cut them in pieces of 6x4 inches and bent them to make pages of 3x4 inches. I love this size in these projects. They are tiny and cute.
I have made little books for this project of 4 pages each so they have more volume and the book is a bit thick.
I like the view they have and you have the opportunity to store lots of pictures or add lots of journaling in it.
The title of the book is one of the stickers we can find in the stickers set of the Lunare collection. I love them so much!
I hope you liked this project and that it inspires you to create beautiful books. Remember that I made a tutorial for Studio Forty on how to make copta books! If you have any question, do not hesitate to ask! See you soon with new projects! Love,
Isa

Hey there!
It's great to be back on the Studio Forty blog with a new inspiration, especially if it is a Christmas one with the Joyful collection.
As I have mentioned in other posts, I love making coptic books, I think it is a great way of creating albums and to add tons of decorations to it. Lately I have been making them in mini size (4x3 inches) and with the scraps of paper that I had from making the December Daily with the Joyful collection I decided to make one.
I painted the wooden covers with red paint, so it could combine with the red details that you can find on the papers of the Joyful collection. I also added some drops of golden paint which I think that they add elegance to it. And some drops of white paint are always a good choice.
As you can see, while stitching the book I have added tons of decorations, die cuts, embellishments and chipboards to it. I love adding these details in my copta books.
On the inside of it, all the papers are patterned ones, they belong to the Joyful collection and other Xmas collections of Studio Forty, because all of them combine perfectly well.
Probably I will use this coptic book as a gift to somebody in my family and I hope they will like it! And I hope you all like it too! I will be back real soon with new inspirations!
Love,
Isa

Hello everybody!!
It's Isa here and I am thrilled to be back in the Studio Forty blog with a new project featuring the Gaia collection!
On today's post I want to show you my new copta album that I made in a mini size. The size of this album is 3x4 inches. I wanted to use also the papers of the project life cards so that is one of the main reasons why my copta album is mini. Also I wanted to try this kind of project in this size for a long time.
I have painted the cover with a Nuvo mousse of a golden color and I have decorated the cover with details from one of the papers of the Gaia collection and a transparent sticker. I have also used brown thread to combine with the colors of the collection.
If you feel curious on how to make this kind of albums I made a tutorial a while ago that you can find
here. As you can see now in the following pictures in the inside of the album I have used almost all the patterned papers of the collection as pages of the divisions in the copta. I like that in this kind of projects the inside are papers of the collection I am using instead of using white paper for the pages.
I have used lots of embellishments for the spine of the album, buttons, pearls, tassels, wooden decorations... I love mixing all kind of complements!
All the complements combine with the colors of the collection,as well as in size, as the album is small I have used tiny complements and I think that the result is really really cute.
And last but not least I want to tell you that I am going to GIVE AWAY this project! To all the people from Spain you just have to go to my Instagram publication and follow the instructions and this album can be yours!!
I hope you liked it and that you make tons of beautiful projects with the Gaia collection from Studio Forty because it is simply amazing!! I will be back very soon with new inspirations!!
Kisses!
