Red White and Blue - Celebrate

I started with a 4 1/4" x 11" pieces of red cardstock scored at 5 1/2".  I cut the white cardstock to 4" x 5 1/4" and the blue cardstock to 3 3/4" x 5".

On the blue cardstock, I first stamped the Hello Doily in Brocade Blue so that part of the stamp is off my cardstock and used my heat gun to dry the ink.  I then stamped the flower and grass background from the Just Believe stamp set in Not Quite Navy and used clear embossing powder while the ink was still wet.  I then wrapped a piece of white ribbon around the bottom of the blue cardstock and attached it to the rest of the card.  Celebrate was stamped in Brocade Blue on white cardstock, punched with the word window punch and layered on top of the Modern Label punch.

I kept the inside pretty simple and just added a punch of 1/2" x 4 1/4" red cardstock which was punched with the Scallop Trim Punch.  I did in the white mat with Not Quite Navy.

Thank you for stopping by.

Three Altered Mini Books

When I was at the Food and Wine show in Minneapolis we were given mini notebooks to keep track of our taste testing.

I turned mine into a mini scrapbook. I use the Stampin' Up Just Believe stamp for the cover along with a scrap of ribbon an a few pearls.



I traced the pattern from above and made a couple more using the bind it all to put them together.
