Center Step Gift Card . --Graphic 45 Sun Kissed

I followed the tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers Tutorial for a Center Step Gift Card by Wendy Lee.  I used Sun Kissed scraps from Graphic 45's collection and dies by Avery Elle.

The small inside pocket unde the pop out has SU stamps and a Fiskars border punch on it.  I will tuck some money in that one.  

Technique Tuesday Iris

This is a new beautiful stamp I got while I was on vacation.  It is colored in Watercolor pencils and inked distress inks, The iris and sentiment are from the stampset GSIris by Technique Tuesday and I bought it at a craft store in Astoria.  Black 1/8" satin ribbon and tiny rhinestones as well as Nuvo's Glitter Gloss finish the card

Crafting on Vacation has been VERY challenging but I am pleased with most of my projects.

Double Triangle Flip fold Card

This card is to wish DGD well on mid-terms (already) in her summer session at UCSB.  Key designer paper is by American Crafts, "the Color of Memories."  The design is inspired by the SCS Wedesday tutorial by Dawn Olchefske at Splitcoast Stampers.com.  The personasl message ios written in the white triangle on the inside of the card.

Little Flip-Out Photo Album

I am so excited about how a little Photo Folio Flip UP Album is turning out.  I am using Graphic 45 Floral Shoppe designer papers for it, and am inspired by the tutorial by Bo Bunny

This picture is looking down from the top at the double flip out construction

And this is inside when the Album is first opened---a waterfall for journaling and images on the right and the first (of a dozen) matted flip pages matted for journaling an image placement
