Exclusive Square Scallop Flip album

I made this little flip album with the new Exclusive Stampin' Up! clear square scallop die. I used Bo Bunny 6x6 chipboard and cut out the square scallops and DP and adhered them to the album with a glue stick( best adhesive with chipboard)
( you can get it at your local scrap store for about $2 bucks it is a great deal.)
Designer paper is Razzleberry Lemonade and I used the Daisy die behind the sentiment which is white embossed on the larger ovals on the oval sizzix die.
I mixed matched the papers with in color cs put on a little jump ring
and the polka dotted in color ribbon! Great for a little brag book.
Hope you enjoy it!!

Urban Oasis Tri-Fold Card

My upline, Lisa taught me the coolest layout for a card. It all folds up and fits into a regular envelope. the cs is 8x8 kiwi and the I used up the rest of my Oasis DP!
Used the butterfly die cut and the top note and did that new fancy cut on the top note and then embossed it in black with the sentiment from the Birthday Set!
I just think this is the cutest thing! Thanks Lisa!

Cottage Wall Scrap Tin

Yes, I know I had to fordge out to the unmentionable lands of contraband to get these beautiful embellishments but even the strongest demonstrator couldn't help herself when you see how perfectly they match the Cottage Wall DP.
This tin speaks family, friendship and elegance the sentiment on the front is about the best times being shared in the very bossom of family and friends. This is one of my favorite tins. You should see the light in people's eye at the market when people pick up the tins and check them out.
I can't keep them in stock they are absolutely a wonderful gift and fun make.
Scrap Tin Class August 30th
2-6pm Sunday $35.00 if your local,

OOOOH La La It's Noveau Chic

I absolutely love this paper more than the last I said I loved sooo much!!
This is my style !
Above is a box I learned from Dawn O.'s blog, you use (2) #2 boxes die cuts and put them together.


Then there is a 6x6 flip scrap book, with the lovely new techniques I learned with the top note cut into this lovely shape on the Front with My Kind and Dear Friend embossed in black on the top with filigree brads at top and bottom from MY Kind and Dear Friend Laurie from up North!

Check out her site at http://stampingupnorthwithlaurie.blogspot.com/ for a quick tutorial on the top note transformation.
Then the NEW wedding favor box die in black has been embossed with the Swirly stamp in Wedding Sweet in silver. This die cut takes a sheet of 12x12 paper! It looks like you can do it with 11 but you cannot! Remember when ordering new die cuts specially extended ones to read everything underneath the definition in the catty and get all the supplies you need to use it. the new extended crease pads are available NOW!
If you are having trouble with your matchbox die instead of using you crease pad on the top just sandwich between your acrylics. I have heard it comes out better, you can also put a sheet of cardstock on the bottom of the die cut to make the sandwich tighter and it will help cut or make your cuts/impressions more defined.
This is what the flip scrap album looks like in the inside. this paper takes no thinking at all with the coordination everything matches and comes together beautifully!!
This is so beautiful but it takes alot of DP!!

Hope you enjoy it! Give me your comments!!
