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. 
When done with the cover – enclose the edge either using a thin strip of strong double-sided tape or use your sewing machine.
Voila – quite simple and it actually takes 20-30 minutes top to make a little more thoughtful gift.
Here’s Hamblys supercute “Onesies” transparency in teal used as the background, decorated with a few Kraft stickers, a tutrle-rubon from “Classic Animals” mounted on blank transparency and a cute butterfly-cutout from “Wings”. The letters are one of my fave letters from AdornIt.
And here’s the CD cover which was made with this tutorial.
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial!
Here’s a peek of some of the yummy Hambly-stuff that you can win in the giveaway. Clear stickers, rubons (Gold “Doilies”! One of my total faves atm!), the awesome “Hambly Couture” – both a sheet of paper plus
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 :)
If you’d like a second chance on the giveaway – feel free to post about this giveaway on your own blog and comment here once again for another ticket to the giveaway.
Come back soon – I have at least three more tutorials lined up for your entertainment – all of which means new chances to enter the giveaway :)

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.

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)
