TODAY IS MEMORY KEEPING MONDAY

This week I am featuring the Valley in Bloom Suite collection in all my projects.

It has been a while since I shared a memory keeping layout. When I saw the Valley in Bloom Designer Series Paper I knew that I wanted to create a page for my daughter’s friend April.

Kate attended April’s wedding in early July and I thought the paper I chose was perfect for this project.

For this layout I added three Pretty Peacock/white photo holders – one 6″x4″ and two $”x3″.

I stamped the numbered notebook image in Highland Heather and die cut it. Both of these are in the Extraordinary Life Bundle. This was then used as a journaling area.

i die cut several small flowers in Highland Heather and Basic White using the Lily of the Valley Dies. The flowers were added to the page using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, I attached Adhesive Sheets to the back of some Highland Heather card and cut out letters for the title using the Alphabet a la Mode Dies.

After Kate gives her friend this layout, April can choose the photos she wants to add and then pop it in a shadowbox frame.

Although this is a simple layout it is a great way to showcase the design of the paper.

Tomorrow I have a technique card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and memory keeping.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. Just click on any of the images below.

ONE MORE SUMMER HAPPINESS PROJECT

My final Summer Happiness project is a 3D box that holds a packet of Tic Tacs.

This is one of my measure twice and cut once projects.

I think that my high school maths teacher would be pleased to see how I developed this 2D to 3D skill.

This flip top box was designed to fit a packet of colourful Tic Tacs.

After the box was created I added panels of DSP.

I stamped the greeting in Secret Sea and the flip flops in Crushed Curry.

Then I added some Secret Sea Flat Pearls.

Next week I will feature another product suite.

Until then, happy stamping.

FLIP FLOPS ON & WALKING UP THE BEACH

For this Summer Happiness card I used some of the coloured flip flops from my first card to make this one.

I wanted it to look like someone was walking up the beach – one flip flop in front of the other.

All of these colours coordinate with the colours in the washi tape.

After adhering the thongs in place I added the sentiment and then In Colour Flat Pearls.

Being an Aussie means that I have flip flops – thongs – pluggers in my life experience.

This stamp and die set bundle are absolutely perfect for my Australian summer experience.

Tomorrow I have a little 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
