This started with an Accordion Kit by 7 Gypsies. I tore it apart twice and threw out the instructions before I finally got it going the way I wanted.
I used Weekend Market papers by BoBunny. "Love lives here", the circular stamped sentiment, frame die cut, leaves and swirls, butterflies, and flower are all Heartfelt Creations. I used a Making Memories hole punch tool to punch the hole on the right and install a WRMK eyelet. The brown trim is by American Crafts.
I used Tattered Blossoms stamps and dies to make this flower. I finished it with Stickles and a BoBunny brad.
I just love these stamp and die butterflies from Garden Romance!
Inside the front cover. I used brown acrylic paint to stamp the inside. This stamp is from the Old English Garden Collection.
Here, I just did an arrangement of fun paper, lace, and a binder clip.
Open accordion. The tape is from Tim Holtz.
A corner die cut with a key and folder tucked inside.
On the flip side. After die cutting all those Tattered Blossoms, I used the negative as a stencil for glimmer misting. I used brown acrylic paint to stamp the script. The ephemera is from a Tim Holtz sticker book.
The back.
Just in case you didn't see the front.
