Stuffed Mini Book

I joined a stuffed mini book swap last month and it was so much fun! Basically, it’s a 3×3 book you make out of a 12×12 piece of scrapbook paper and makes 3 pockets to put things in. I really put a lot of work into it and I believe my partner enjoyed it. Her profile said she likes flowers so I kinda ran with that theme!

White embossed the flowers and painted it with twinkling H20s (sadly the photo doesn’t really show the shimmer)

Used some glittery stickers and glued a fragment on top of a Georgia O’Keefe flower I printed and stamped cherish

My favorite spread! I used the nine fold explosion and used floral wire to put the flower in the middle. I really like how it came out! The flower was actually sent in my mini book from my partner!

I used copper embossing powder for this stamp and used distree stains to color in the flowers

Another flower pop up that was so fun and easy to make!

Final spread. Had to use my silhouette at some point! I used pop up dots for the flower.

    Lisa,
    Glad to see that you have been returning to your stamping roots. Also glad to see that you are doing paper projects again.

    Love this mini book! Great job! I am fascinated by these types of books, but I haven’t had the guts to join a swap for them yet…
