Congratulations Hot Foil Technique

 I have been playing with the Hot Foils from Stampin' Up! I love the versatility and how easy it is to use it. In fact for August the Technique is Hot Foil Resist, the same as the Emboss Resist but so much easier.

Here is a close up of the card.

Project Recipe:

STAMP SET: Mixed Labels

INK: Gorgeous Grape

PAPER: Highland Heather Base, Old Olive, Moonlight Flora Layer

ACCESSORIES: Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Silver Foil

What a fun card, it turned into a great Wedding Card, I even decorated an envelope to go with it also.

Thanks for dropping by, I hope that you will drop in again. I appreciate you all.

Stampin' Up! Post - Pocket Style Memory Keeping with Flip Flaps

Pocket Style Memory Keeping With Flip Flaps

 Pocket-style memory keeping pairs photos with journaling cards and small keepsakes in divided pocket pages. It’s a simple, sized-down alternative to traditional scrapbooking—perfect for beginners or anyone who wants a quick way to capture stories. These pages are a favorite mini-album choice for stories with definite starts and ends (vacations, holidays, etc.), but they can also be added to D-Ring 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Albums for a blended approach. This works well for memorabilia that you don’t want glued to your layout.

Photo Pocket Pages + Flip Flaps = A winning combination!
Add Flip Flaps to pocket pages for even more interactive excitement and storytelling space. Our So Happy Together spread shows how perfectly 3" x 4" (7.6 x 10.2 cm) Flip Flaps pair with the smaller pockets in our Variety Pack 6" x 8" (15.2 x 20.3 cm) Photo Pocket Pages. Since Flip Flaps can open to the side or vertically, it’s easy to add movement that works with your overall page design.
