For my creation today, I used a Crafty Secrets Postcard Kit, Best Buds. The kit includes a Crafty Secrets Clear Stamp Set, Six Large printed images, Twelve Embellishments, Eighteen Chipboard Pieces. I chose to use the postcards to create mini albums. So three for each album. I used the large images for one side and added my own papers for the backs. In the above picture, I stamped a sentiment onto one of the smaller chipboard pieces. Here is the back to the front page above. I used Spellbinder Labels Four to cut dies, along with Classic Oval shapes. Here you can see some stamping utilizing the included stamp set. I used dimensionals on the sides and bottom to enable a picture to slide into opening. Another page with a large printed image. A simple bow with heart embellishment makes this complete! I used trim around the postcard edges once I had adhered my large images. The tag looks like I made it and attached to bow, it's printed and would make a darling name tag, or date if wanted. The back of page two is quite simple, a mat with a small printed embellishment. The small image is adhered to the small size chipboard pieces with edges sanded. Page three is another large printed image. A small image place on a punched oval edged with a crocheted piece of string. I also added a clear square fragment to the top of the small image. Back of page three shows another stamped image. On the page backs I also used a dauber and ink to lightly give some color to build the page on. Prima Fairytale Rose & Rose Leaf creates a great embellishment for this page. All Ribbons, Prima Flowers & Leaves, Ringlet Trim, String, Postcard Kit, are found at The Stamp Simply RIBBON Store!
