I'm on a roll making CD case inserts. It's fun, it's simple and converts a plain CD case into a keepsake.
Take this little pretty created for my sister. She loves pansy's. I just happen to have the picture perfect paper for this project.

Located on the inside of the case top are 4 insert slots; two on the top and two at the bottom. Your design will slip into these 4 slots. On opposite sides are "edges" that keep inserts from slipping out. Use these as measuring guides. Mine is close to a 4 3/4" square.



To add a touch of flair I placed a layered label in the center, designed with a Gypsy. The middle layer of paper is the less prominent color in the pansy design. Using the same color of ink as the middle layer, brings it nicely together.
The double-sided paper adds a "boutique" look when the case is opened...so sassy!

Accessories: Stampin Up Riveting set, Cricut Lacy Labels, K&Company double faced paper, green & white card stock, white ink.

Saving precious pictures onto a CD makes a great gift idea. Here's a simple way to identify the surprise inside!
A box of clear CD cases cost just a few dollars, and can be found at all office supply stores. Don't own a CD label maker, like me?? No problem. Making a insert does the trick.
I chose theme printed card stock paper with contrasting black paper for a nice edging. The overall measurements are 4 3/4 " by 4 11/16", or almost square. Lettering from the Storybook cartridge (use a GYPSY) were perfect for this look. These letters are 1" by 1/2".



There wasn't room on the front side to add specifics about the pictures. Again, no problem! The flip side of the insert gives additional space. Or, print a ledger and picture specific information to include inside. Mine was a simple message written with a white paint marker.
 

Now I'm on a roll to get more pictures onto a CD!
