A Peek Into My Stamping Room

Excited to Share.......

One of my projects that I made for Spellbinders™ Paper Arts.  Yes, I finally get to share one of the many projects I have made so far.  This is a tag I made to show that there are many ways to use the new S4-330 Nested Tombstone set. 

To create this tag, I cut a piece of chipboard to 3 1/4 x 6" and covered it with the patterned paper.  Then using a selective cutting technique, I cut the top of my tag using the largest die in the S4-330 Nested Tombstone set so that just the top will cut.  If you are interested, I can do a small tutorial on this technique.  It is so easy!! 

I cut/embossed along the bottom with the E8-002 Classic Bracket edgeabilities.  Then I added a piece of white cardstock along the bottom.  I sponged all the edges with Colorbox Mudslide archival ink. 

Here is a close-up of the frame I made using the S4-330 Nested Tombstone.

You can see this in the Idea Gallery over at the Spellbinders™ Paper Arts website.  It has all the links and supplies lists, too!  Be sure to check out What's New on the Spellbinders website, too!  The new dies are awesome!!

RRR July Blog Hop with CardMaker!

Hello!  Welcome to the Really Reasonable Ribbon July Blog Hop.  This month we are doing something special and hopping along with the wonderful designers from CardMaker!  If you are following the hop, you should be coming from my sweet friend, Kimberly's blog.  If not, please pop on over to the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog to get started!!

The Ribbon Club Assortment for July is so much fun!  The vibrant colors are so perfect for this summertime weather we are having!  Here is what you get in this month's assortment....

Pretty, right?  The RRR Monthly ribbon club is such a great deal.  Hope you check it out!

Here is my project for today's blog hop.  I made an accordian card (tutorial found HERE on SCS)  using my wonderful Scor-Pal products along with the Really Reasonable Ribbon!  There are some great Scor-Pal products in the RRR store so be sure to check them out!

To hold my accordian card together, I made sure that my ribbon could move around because that will make it easier to tie into a pretty bow.  Here is what I did......

Before attaching the decorated front cover I made sure there was a place for my ribbon to slide?  Clear as mud, right?  This is what it looked like from the front.

Now its time for the inside!  I kept things kinda clean because I didn't want my accordian to be too thick when folded.  I thought the little tags in the pockets would be perfect to write a special note to your best friend!!

To make the pockets, I cut/embossed the S4-375 Scalloped Labels One from the orange cardstock and then cut that in half.  I added some 1/8" score tape around the edges.  Here is what it looked like before I put it in place.

I just cut two slips of white cardstock to slip inside.  I stamped the little flower image and punched a hole for the ribbon.  I added the two flowers and the bling to complete.  Here is what it looks like when folded together and laying down.

I hope you have enjoyed my blog post today.  Now its time to hop on over to my sweet friend, Jeanne's blog for the next project!  Have fun!
