Leadership was wonderful, I just need to know how to have so much fun and come home not tired. It was great to see my downline at our Leadership meeting. I have the most talented girls in the company and they are a lot of fun too. This two-step birk scrapbook is one of the projects we made at our meeting. I was a little unsure about the new style of punches Stampin' Up! introduced in the Occasions Mini catalog until I started to play and now I am in love. The new design is easy to punch. Because of the design SU! is able to create larger punched images and even this two-step bird image, it is like getting 3 punches in one. (the wing of the bird could also be a leaf for a flower) If you want to try out the new punch style SU! has made it easy and free. When you purchase $50.00 during Sale-a-bration you can choose the Scallop trim border as your free item and you can try out the new design and see what you think.
This scrapbook is a piece of card stock 6x12 inches scored at 2, 2 ¼, 7 & 7 ¼ inches, score the band the same dimensions. I also attached a piece of card stock I trimmed using the scallop boarder punch to the card stock base.
I then attached two envelopes to each other with a 2x 4 3/8" piece of card stock that was folded in half and attached them to the card stock base the same way. To finish the look I attached a 1x 4 3/8" piece to the top envelope. Then add designer papers. These papers come from the Designer Series Paper Stack "Sweet Pea" found in the new Occasions Mini catalog. I added paper to both the front and backs of the envelopes. I trim the top envelope down smaller than the back envelope. Make sure you trim the edge of the back envelope so you can insert the card stock page.
I used the Two-step bird punch as accents. I hope you enjoy this cute project.
