You Got This!

Oh hello and welcome to Sugar Bean Cards today. I have a lot to show you so buckle down, grab some coffee, scroll around, and enjoy! Don't forget, I am giving away a BRAND NEW Teresa Collins Mega Runner by Xyron® from Xyron to U.S.A. participants. The contest rules are on my Sugar Bean Cards Facebook fanpage found here. Winner will be announced on the SBC Facebook fanpage on Monday October 22nd, 2018.

Okay let's get into the fun stuff! Teresa Collins has put out this new 'Mon Cheri' stack and I just felt that a triple fold album was in order to showcase this wonderful double sided paper.

To begin with, I designed the album in Silhouette Studio-Designer Edition. I title each 'set' according to the paper that I wanted to use for each section. 

Just to keep myself a bit more organized since I was cutting all elements out before assembly, I also wrote sticky notes on each page to match the sets above.

 Once everything was cut out, it was time to play.

I happen to have some flower stamps from Close to My Heart's 'Springtime Wishes' set that looked similar to the flowers found in this paper set. I used this stamp set to heat emboss details onto pockets.

I also used the heat embossing to add detail to any solid sheet of color throughout the book.

I used some Teresa Collins Passion Pink Pigment Ink to stamp light flower details on the tags that can be used for writing messages or memories on.

Next I grabbed my Teresa Collins Mega Runner by Xyron® to adhere the detail pieces to the base pieces. This is my absolute favorite mega runner. I have had no issues with it and it is a smooth runner.

Next I took some black fasteners from Teresa Collins Essentials line to adhere five flip pages.

I grabbed some AC ribbon, punched two holes in each ribbon length and adhere to the outer shell holes with two black Teresa Collins fasteners.

The front and inside covers are complete and ready for all the new little pockets and hidden areas to store sentiments.

For the cover I decided to do some vellum flowers. I colored a few using the same  Teresa Collins Passion Pink Pigment Ink before curling the pedals with my Netlab quilling tools.

For the smaller pieces, I decided to use my Xyron Creative Station® to get all the adhesive on the backs to save me some time.

At the last moment I decided to use this ballerina cutout from the paper set. I didn't want to run the small cut through my Xyron Creative Station®, effectively wasting a lot of adhesive. So I grabbed my 1.5" Sticker Maker and ran it through!

For the final details, I had to figure out where I wanted things to go. I decided to use the white paper clips for the ballerina shapes I cut out and sprinkled some Teresa Collins WANDERlust sequins on the cover and inside the album.

 Final Project:

 I put in three dividers where momentos can be kept and labeled.

The inside page has three pocket folders to hold photos, tickets, or other momentos.

The middle page has 5 flip tabs to hold notes or photos.

As well as a pop out z-fold section that has the embossed folders to hold the white tags for written notes.

The last page holds a journal to keep track of progress or important events

 As well as three more pockets to hold memories.
