Pinwheel Album - Part II

Another photo-intensive post, but here's

phase II of the pinwheel album.

I've pretty much got all the pages

with the "basic" decorations

and pockets.  Since I made each

section a different color, it should

be easier to see the folds, etc.

My DP was Prima's

The Sasha Paper Collection stack.

 

 

Here's the album when it's first opened up.

The left side holds one section (orange)

The right side holds three sections (yellow, pink & blue)

 

Here's the left side with the first opening

(flipped down)

The pink flower was layered onto CS

and fussy cut - it's attached on one side

and the bottom to use as a pocket.

 

Here's the left section with the second opening

(flipped over to the left)

 

Here's the right side.

The yellow section opens first

(flipping down)

 

The next opening for the yellow section

is another flip downward.

 

The last opening for the yellow section

(flipped to the right)

The top right section has another flower

adhered to CS and used as a pocket.

 

Next up is the pink section

(flipped to the right)

 

The next opening for the pink section

is another flip to the right

Another pink flower pocket on the center panel.

 

The last opening for the pink section

(flipped upward)

 

The blue section's first opening

(flipped upward)

 

Blue opening number two is

another flip upward.

 

The last opening for the blue section

(flipped to the left)

The green and pink flower was

also used as a pocket.

 

Here's a photo of the entire album opened

up - you can see where pinwheel comes from.

 

Here's a closer view

the inside "base"

is also decorated and

has a pocket.

 

Here's a close-up of the layers

in their closed positions.

 

Here's what the album looks like

standing up with the sections closed.

 

Here's the front of the album.....

 

Phase III will be more

decorating of the individual pages

and the addition of tags, etc.

Stay tuned :)

 

Hope you enjoyed the show.

 

 



Chipboard Suitcases

Hi all
     Today, I thought I'd share a fun project that my club did a while ago using Chipboard Suitcases from Stampin' Up.  They've been discontinued, but it was a great project.  You may be able to find them around somewhere else.   I got carried away with them and made several with matching sets of cards to go in them.  All the chipboard pieces were painted with acrylic paints before covering them with DP.

 
The first one was using stickers for the front of the "suitcase" and Penny Black & Whipper Snapper stamps for the individual puppy cards.

For this one, I chose a K & Company Dimensional sticker et for the outside and the cards for a coordinated set using buttons and pearls for accents.

Another set using K & Company dimensional stickers, Prima flowers, lace and rhinestones.  I found the gorgeous DP at my local scrapbook store, but they only had one sheet left and it was never to be seen again!  I'd love to have more of that!

 Used various stamp images for this set and the flower was made using a retired Spellbinders Blossom die and a brown paper bag.  The finished flower was spritzed with Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels

.
Last, but not least....  this one was very simple.  Letting the beautiful DP do all the work with the addition of a few rhinestones.  Added some Prima flowers to the front and some beautiful ribbon from May Arts.

Hope you enjoyed this fun little project.
