On Board Briefcase Scrapbook

The Summer Mini features several On Board chipboard products,
including a large cog and the Briefcase displayed above (page 23).

This chipboard is easy to ink. In the sample above, I inked the cover

with craft Rose Red craft ink and while it was still wet, added Glassy Glaze

Embossing Power.  Before embossing, I dragged through the Glassy Glaze

with a stylus, removing some of the EP.  Then I heat embossed. This technique 

yields a faux leather look.  The scrapbook is tied closed with wide ribbon.

Inside, I used Modern DP and Bermuda Bay cardstock.  

Pages were stamped with the Elements of Style set on page 12-13 of the mini.

A Big Shot 2 tags tag was added to one of the DP pockets.

Presto Patterns Butterfly

I really like the new Presto Patterns Specialty paper in the Summer Mini.

It has an embossed look when you brayer or sponge color over it.

This means that you essentially have any color of patterned DP you want.

In this example, I brayered Pirouette Pink ink over one of the patterns.

I punched out the butterflies and sponged them with Certainly Celery.

Pearls from the Pretties Kit were added.

White Satin ribbon was bunched and stapled along one side.  A Chocolate

Corduroy button was attached at the bottom of the ribbon strip

over Rich Razzleberry and Chocolate Chip CS that was run through

the Big Shot Finial Press embossing folder.

The senitment comes from the Mini Level 1 hostess set, "It's the Thought".

MDS Summer Splendor on Navy

SU sells Digital Crafting software, or downloads to enable purchase of

the stamp and designer paper images for you to use as clip art.

The above card uses the MDS Summer Splendor Designer Series Paper download.

This DP is so delightful and coordinates with SU cardstock. This enables you

to print out your creations and adhere them to cardstock, for quick cards!

This Summer Splendor design was attached to a cardstock base that

was run through the Big Shot Manhattan Flower Embossing folder.

Smooch Presto DP 2 Tag

I CASED this treat container from someone, 

but sadly, their name was not on the project. 

This is a 2-tag container made with textured Bermuda Bay 

card stock.  The Crushed Curry panel is brayered Presto Patterns

(Specialty paper on page 15 of the Summer Mini).  Elements of Style, 

from the Summer Mini was used for the sentiment.  Both the

Presto DP and sentiment were sprayed with Gold Glow Smooch Spritz.

Crushed Curry Grosgrain, wrapped with an Ice Circle Brad, was

tied to the top of the treat container.

Bella Bleu Watercolor Trio

Sorry about another delay in posts.  I underwent a little "surgical procedure"

so have been spending less time on the computer lately.

This is the Watercolor Trio set from page 16 of the Summer Mini.

It is such a  pretty set, and lends itself to fall, summer or spring themes.

If you use your markers, you can create some lovely color combinations.

The background paper is Bella Bleu, with a bit of Kraft taffeta ribbon.  

The sentiment is part of this set and fits neatly in the oval punch.

These colors; Not Quite Navy, Always Artichoke and Kraft

will be continuing in the new catalog, which will be released July1.  

Please be aware, the retiring card stock is selling fast and quantities are not

expected to last.  Let me know if you want to "stock up" on some of the

retiring card stock!

Watercolor Trio Butterfly

This card uses several products from the newly released Summer Mini.

The butterfly (Big Shot Beautiful Butterflies Die)  is stamped 

with the Watercolor Trio stamp set on page 16.  I used retiring colors, 

including Green Galore, Lavender Lace and Lovely Lilac.

The other new product is the DELIGHTFUL Square Lattice

Big Shot embossing folder on page 24.  It yields 2 different patterns,

depending on which side of the card stock you decide to use.  In

this case, I rubbed ink on the textured cardstock, to emphasize

the pattern.
