Yesterday I posted the layouts I created with the September HIP 2B SQUARE kit. If you missed it, you can see it here! Today... it's the cards I made, along with a little fold-out mini book.
For the first card, I used some green mist on the Sassafras paper before adding the embellishments on top. The peach-colored card is the packaging from the Sassafras flowers, which I used on my "tree"...
... and another school-themed card (can never have too many of those when you have kids!)...
We were asked to make a travel-themed project. I went with a fold-out mini pocket book to add to my Austria album (assuming I ever get started on it, that is!)...
I machine-stitched the 2 pockets & have added little extra things from our trip, like receipts & tickets. My favorite little "extra" is a diary-style note Bryn wrote on a bus ride detailing our day. She has such cute hand-writing...
Head over here for more information on the amazing HIP 2B SQUARE kits!
One last thing! Just incase you missed Martha Stewart on Oprah yesterday, there's a 50% off any one Martha item at Michaels COUPON on Oprah's website. You can find it HERE! Make note, though, that the coupon will only be posted on the website for 24 hours from the airing of yesterday's show. So HURRY & print it TODAY! Happy shopping! ;-)
Love your cards Deana! So beautiful! And that mini pocket book is awesome!
