Flying Airships Gift Sets

Hello everyone. I am back! Sorry that I have been MIA for the past few weeks. I have been working on my new site and I have a big Wedding Exploding Box Custom order I am trying to finished. But today, I  am excited to share a few projects I made recently using the Flying Airships by Hero Arts and adorned with some MayArts Ribbons. When I received these new 2012 Hero Arts Cling Stamps, I decided to make a bag and a bookmark.

Here's how I did it:

I used each of the Hero Arts "Flying Airship" Cling Stamp sets.

For my  Bag :  I stamped G45  paper and heat embossed it with black embossing powder. I then created a tag to adorn my bag, I stamped my chipboard with Memento Brown and colored it with markers and distressed it with "Fired Brick" Distress Ink. I used the "A Proper Gentleman" paper stack from  Graphic 45.

For my Bookmark:

I cut enough GrosGrain MayArts Ribbon and attached ribbon clasps on both ends. Also I added hardware clips as a charms. I stamped and colored a gift tag and cut the outline so it matches the width of my ribbon. I then adhered the gift tag to my Ribbon Bookmark.

This project is so easy and fast. It is a great gift set for the men in your life.

Thanks for stopping by and hope I inspired today.

Star- Accordion Scrapbook ( Mini-Fold Out Album)

I made this Star-Accordion Scrapbook with a Las Vegas Theme. I think it can be a great gift for Father's Day. This Star-Accordion, (others called it Mini-Fold Out ) is so fun to make. It looks so complicated but it is not. It basically consist of 3 pieces of 12" x 12" cardstock connected together. I will try to make a video tutorial on this Mini-Album when I have enough time. I am just swamped with other responsibilities lately.

This Mini-Fold Out Scrapbook Technique is great for making fabulous mini albums, especially when you want to make the most of only a few photos. This can be a great gift for family and friends to commemorate special occasions. Birthdays, Weddings, Anniversaries..you name it. Or,  why not try to make this album to celebrate your special pet, or use it to scrapbook your "weekend getaway with the girls", "a day in the Spa", or simply make them as special greeting cards. The possibilities are endless.
