Embellished Somethings!

Happy Friday!!

We have a new challenge posted over on STAMP SOMETHING and this one is super easy! All you need to do is create something, anything you want, that uses embellishments. You can use a lot of embellishments or just something little. We have a fabulous blog candy chance up for grabs for those that play along. Head over there now and take a look at the creatively embellished design team samples!

My project is a book, one a created using Stampin' Up!'s On Board Book Basics and a Simply Scrappin' Kit. I used die cuts, pearls, and ribbon to embellish this book after I covered the chipboard with designer papers. This is a very simple project that only uses a few supplies and takes a little bit of time. My book is actually going to be used as a guestbook at a small family wedding.

To start, you need to cover your chipboard pieces with craft glue then adhere your paper. Let that dry. Cut a 12 inch piece of designer paper a couple inches shorter than the length of your chipboard and score it every inch and then fan fold it. Adhere one of the 1 inch lengths to the front cover and another to the back cover. I used Sticky Strip for this.

Now cut 3 pieces of cardstock for the pages. These should be a tad shorter that the book covers so as not to stick out. You can make more pages by cutting another designer fan fold piece and adhering it to the first one. Adhere your cardstock pages to alternating folds on your inside designer paper. Add a piece of ribbon long enough to tie the book closed. Then embellish as desired. Clear as mud, right! Seriously, if anyone needs any more info, just email me. :)

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you join us in embellishing something too! Have a great weekend. Happy Stamping! :)
