Prima Marketing Havana Flip Album

 This is a mini album I made using Prima Marketing Havana papers and chipboard, and a Teresa Collins Flip album in white. Some Bazzill cardstock papers were also used. Here is my front cover which includes fussy cutting pieces and a Melissa Frances keyhole along with more Prima Marketing products of flowers.

This page is actually a pocket and you can see the pink piece of paper peeking out of the fold. Great to add more photos and memorabilia. 

                                        Here I made an easy pocket page with tag and envelop tag.

                              

                                Several pages of pockets to add more photos and memorabilia. The bottom of the page is a ticket that was fussy cut from one of the papers and folded over to make a homemade tab for the page. I used these tickets throughout the album and really enjoyed using these rose gold foiled papers and pieces!! So gorgeous in person and the colors are a soft pastel coloring. Made working on this project fun and inspiring!

Am hoping to add travel photos to it when things open up so as to take a trip! Hope you enjoy the pages and it inspires you to make one despite not getting to go anywhere right now.

House Mouse Tunnel Shaker Card

 Here's another one of the dies from Creek Bank Creations called a Tunnel Card. Julie has a wonderful video on how to use this die by attaching a die to acetate before die cutting with it. It was so helpful and it made making this cute card a breeze. The card base is cut completely out of white cardstock and then added one last layer of Echo Park Party 6x6 pattern paper atop the whole card. I sealed the inner layer and added these flower sequins in two colors and sizes. The nice thing is that it folds flat so as to mail it easily. I added the Thickers Turquoise glitter 6 due to the challenge on House Mouse Challenge.

Creek Bank Creations Christmas Village Card

Using Wendy Vecchi's Gold embossing paste on another project.

I loved using Creek Bank Creations Edges Village Die set to make this fabulous card using my favorite tools (plural): my Platinum 6 die cutting machine, and stencils! The cardstocks were the tricky part to figure out which one for each image and I had leftovers with all of them. The end result was Bazzill Tungsten for the train; Stampin Up silver for the middle village part; and World Wind Gold foil for the tree village die part; the background cardstock was Bazzill Admiral but any navy or dark blue would suffice. With each die piece I chose how much space was going to be below the die and then, assembled accordingly. The design of this card was all because of a sample of a card from Creek Bank Creations booth that I visited at Stampfest Summer her in Orlando. She used white ink with CBC Swish Star stencil. I knew Wendy Vecchi's Gold metallic embossing paste would really be stunning too. The Creek Bank Creations stencil was easy to use and am impressed with the thickness of it. Made cleaning up easier since I had to scrub the paste off vigorously! I made two of these because I wanted to use some of  my extra die cuts. I made these while at Scraptique Retreat this weekend, and these cards really impressed the ladies there! 

Tip: Use the Spellbinders Tool-in-one tool every time to get the small pieces.
