Edit: the giveaway has now been closed & winner picked. Comments still open though, in case of question and stuff :)
Welcome to the first installation of the 5th bloganniversary-tutorials :)
We’ll start off quite simple, with this CD cover made out of corrugated cardstock & decorated with Hambly-goodies. When taking pictures for and/or sharing pictures with friends I try my best, time allowing, to make the “package” more cozy for the recipient. In this case, I shot some babyphotos for a friend of mine, and wanted to send her something cute she could keep the CD in.
First – grab a sheet of corrugated cardstock. You can purchase sheets or rolls of these in pretty much all hobby/craft stores and most well associated bookstores as well. I love the white ones – they look so pretty and is quite easy to decorate with say paint or a dash or two of glimmer mist! :) But I digress…
Fold the corrugated cardstock together and measure your CD and cut accordingly. Remember you need it folded so it’ll become a sort of envelope for your CD.
Using a circle-puncher, find the median and punch out half the edge from one of the sides. This because it’ll make it easier for you to actually get the CD outta the CD cover later on ;p
Doublecheck that it looks fine and will actually cover your CD. Remember to leave some room on the top and bottom for the enclosing of the sides.
Decorate the cover before you enclose the sides. Trust me, it’ll make the decorating much, much more simple. Here I used the Hambly transparency “Old Lace” in gold and some various Kraft-stickers mounted on 3d-foam. 
Voila – quite simple and it actually takes 20-30 minutes top to make a little more thoughtful gift.
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial!
I spot some of the new stuff too – Embroidery & Doily Decor papers :)
To enter the giveaway (which will take place March 18th) – simply drop me a comment on this post :)

Giiirl, det var en seriøst kul tutorial, og en som jeg absolutt trengte nå, skal lage noen mixCDer og da er det kult å lage eget cover.
Ha en flott dag!
Kjempesmart!
Og dette minner meg på at jeg "skylder" noen tanter av meg noen cd'er, kanskje på tide å gi dem vekk, og pynte litt på i tillegg ;o)

I'm crazy about hambly stuff !!!
