I am using the Penelope WYW Kit (G1106) to create some little albums out of 4x6" Flip Flaps (Z4114). The pack of 15 Flip Flaps is only $6.50 and I used 3 for each mini album. These albums are going to be given to my daughter's best friends who came to her birthday party. 

They will have a few photos of the day's festivities and are full of gorgeous colours! 

First I cut up the PML sheets from the Penelope Paper Pack. I trimmed the edges off this PML card and mounted it on a 4x6" mat of Thistle B&T with green on the back.

I chose a 3x4" PML card and trimmed it a little before mounting it on the green mat. I stamped on a scrap of White Daisy the Wish (M1051) sentiment. Only $5!

The next mat has Thistle on one side with a strip of yellow zip strip along the bottom edge. The back of this B&T is the colourful birds.

The right side is another 4x6 PML card.

The back is another mat cut from B&T yellow stripe with another zip strip along the top.

I went through and added a few stickers and vellum accents from the matching Complements.

Then I peeled the cover off the Flip Flaps and stuck them together one at a time. To cover the adhesive I added Silver Shimmer Trim and then used our Mini Stapler to attach some Thistle Twine. I then put another strip of Shimmer Trim on the back which also covered the two staples.

Card Box Z1953







Start with a sheet of White Pines B&T Duos and a sheet of Cranberry Cardstock. Cut 1 ½” strips of both papers and then cut these into 1 ½” squares. When you glue these onto the front of the box, you will leave a ¼” border around the top, bottom and side edges. These edges will be covered with the shimmer trim. Apply lots of Bonding Memories glue pen to the back of each square and use tweezers to pick them up and position them on the box. This will keep your fingers clean for smoothing each square down. Continue the squares on the sides and top of the box. I used the White Pines paper to cover the back and base.

Now it's time to add the Green Shimmer Trim to the edges. For the front of the box, you need to cut the shimmer trim to the length of the box and then mitre the corners by cutting off at a 45° angle. This will give you nice clean corners with no bumps. You then need to cut 6 more pieces with square ends at 1 ½” for the top and bottom of the sides and the ends of the top of the box as shown in the photos. You will need some scraps of Colonial White cardstock to stamp your images on. I stamped the bauble twice in Fern Ink and once in Cranberry. I stamped the frame in Fern and then the Merry Everything in Cranberry. I then cut these out with my Micro Tip Scissors. I adhered the Merry Everything with foam tape on the front of the lid and then I adhered the baubles on the front using Glue Dots.

Here is a card I also made with the same products. I hope you like it!

Today I would like to share with you a double page layout which features September 2015 Stamp of the Month

Paper Garden S1509 

available exclusively throughout September for $7.50 when you spend $75. Or just pay rrp of $27 for the SOTM if you don't need to order $75 worth this month. 

I really wanted to try background stamping with these stamps and as you can see, I went a little crazy with colour! I chose Cashmere, Sorbet and the new Pomegranate Inks and Cardstocks.

I started with the Cashmere Ink and randomly stamped different flowers on the White Daisy Cardstock. I then stamped in Sorbet and finished with Pomegranate. I chose Sorbet Cardstock to mat the photos and roughed up the edges with our Edge Distresser to show the white core of the cardstock.

I daubed the edges of the white journal box with Pomegranate and stamped another flower image.

I added a strip of Cashmere Cardstock along the top of the Sorbet photo mats. The Thick Twine down the sides is also our new colour Poppy Z3094.

I added a couple of Pomegranate Cardstock accents, some bling and our new Coral Shimmer Trim Z3088 along the bottom.

Framed S1508 - August 2015 SOTM

This month is exciting because we have released a NEW My Reflections Paper Pack, Complements, Assortment and Workshop on the Go Kit

 called ZOE! It is available NOW.

I have made a pretty birthday card using the new Zoe Papers(X7197B) and Complements(X7197C) combined with August SOTM-Framed S1508 available exclusively throughout August for just $5 when you spend $75. Or you can just buy it for the rrp of $27.

The top section of the card has a piece of Sorbet cardstock which I embossed using the Dot Embossing Folder (Z1924) on the Cuttlebug.

The bottom section has a piece of new Zoe B&T duos with a cute spotty design and a smaller piece of Glacier Cardstock on top.

Through the centre is our gorgeous NEW Coral Shimmer Trim (Z3088). 

I stamped the Framed image in Glacier Ink (Z2641) on a scrap of White Daisy Cardstock and cut it out with my Micro Tip Scissors. I then stamped Happy Birthday in Sorbet Ink (Z2164) and used 3D Foam tape to adhere it to the card.

Next I chose some of the sweet little flowers and leaves from the Zoe Complements to adhere onto the Glacier piece then added Bitty Sparkles for some bling! 

Here are a couple more designs from CTMH.
