Up and Away Easel Card with Nirvana from Marion Smith Designs

This project I decided to use Nirvana from Marion Smith Designs and make a cute Easel Card that I had seen on YouTube. I have seen these before and thought they were so cute so I am adding the link to mybutterflykisses12 tutorial here. This was so fun to create with this line!! I only used 3 sheets of paper and have plenty left. I have thought with this I could make a 4X4 mini album to stick in the drawer that pulls out. I had taken Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 102 and used some of his techniques on this.

Here is the whole view of my creation.

I also decided that I wanted to make it a bit steam punk so I took black thread and sewed the strings on the hot air balloons.


Here is a view from the top.

Basic Grey Persimmon Wood Veneer Mini Album

This month I decided to use this Beautiful Autumn Collection By Basic Grey, "Persimmon." I seen that I had the Wood Veneers and was looking at them and then it came to me use this pack of the Basic Grey Persimmon Wood Veneer Cards. So, this is what I did. First, I found the Tag-like veneer and marked each one with this top shape so that when I bound it with the seam binding I would have room for all of it.


On the front I decided to use some hinges to adhere a card for extra pictures or journal area.


Here is the rest of the mini album from inside to back.
