Decorated note book

The sample of the Fresh Vintage Stamp set in the sale-a-bration catalogue is just beautiful and I had to make it, well my own version. As it is so nice I wanted to share it with my Stamp Club and it just so happens when I went to Officeworks shopping for High School supplies I found the most beautiful note books at a great price of $2 so I bought a stack not having any plan for them at the time however they came in very handy.

The patterned paper, ribbon, brad and stamp set are all out of the Sale-a-bration catalogue to view the cataglogue click here it is very nice.

My favourite big shot die, if you hadn’t noticed is ‘Beautiful Butterflies’. For the first time I used the on board sheets, which is hard to tell in the photo but it is the smaller of the butterflies. They went through the big shot very easily and then I just stuck on the embossed card stock. Very simple once again but beautiful at the same time.

Emboss Resist

Technique class at Stamp club this month was ‘Emboss Resist’, a technique I had never played with before and I love it. Holding a technique class makes me learn so many things, so it benefits all. It is a very simple technique, when the ladies looked at it they thought they were in for a night of hard work, how wrong they were. Simple but effective is the key for success but it doesn’t always happen, this time it was a winner. The stamp set and brads used are from the Sale-a-bration catalogue it’s called Fresh Vintage.
