Brag Book & Shadow Box Card

We made brag books yesterday at class that were so simple and quick to make using the Stampin’ Up! clear envelopes as page protectors.  The women with young children thought they could fill them and give them as gifts for Mother’s Day.  The women with grown children decided they could give them to their children and ask them to fill the book with pictures of their grandchildren! 

There’s a tutorial for making these brag books at splitcoast so I won’t attempt to “reinvent the wheel”. 

Stamps: Warm Words
Paper: Wild Wasabi, Tempting Turquoise Designer Paper, Whisper White, So Saffron

Accessories: Corner rounder, Photo corner punch, Scallop punch, 1 3/8″ circle punch, 1 1/4″ circle punch, mat pack, dimensionals, crop-a-dile, tempting turquoise brads, clear translucent envelopes, apple grosgrain ribbon,

 

Here’s another version of the shadow box card I made as a “trial”.  I love these “Embrace Life” flowers and their simple lines but the green background was going to be harder for class I thought so I went with the other one.
