On Board Briefcase Scrapbook

The Summer Mini features several On Board chipboard products,
including a large cog and the Briefcase displayed above (page 23).
This chipboard is easy to ink. In the sample above, I inked the cover
with craft Rose Red craft ink and while it was still wet, added Glassy Glaze
Embossing Power.  Before embossing, I dragged through the Glassy Glaze
with a stylus, removing some of the EP.  Then I heat embossed. This technique 
yields a faux leather look.  The scrapbook is tied closed with wide ribbon.

Inside, I used Modern DP and Bermuda Bay cardstock.  
Pages were stamped with the Elements of Style set on page 12-13 of the mini.
A Big Shot 2 tags tag was added to one of the DP pockets.

Presto Patterns Butterfly

I really like the new Presto Patterns Specialty paper in the Summer Mini.
It has an embossed look when you brayer or sponge color over it.
This means that you essentially have any color of patterned DP you want.

In this example, I brayered Pirouette Pink ink over one of the patterns.
I punched out the butterflies and sponged them with Certainly Celery.
Pearls from the Pretties Kit were added.
White Satin ribbon was bunched and stapled along one side.  A Chocolate
Corduroy button was attached at the bottom of the ribbon strip

over Rich Razzleberry and Chocolate Chip CS that was run through
the Big Shot Finial Press embossing folder.
The senitment comes from the Mini Level 1 hostess set, "It's the Thought".

MDS Summer Splendor on Navy

SU sells Digital Crafting software, or downloads to enable purchase of
the stamp and designer paper images for you to use as clip art.

The above card uses the MDS Summer Splendor Designer Series Paper download.
This DP is so delightful and coordinates with SU cardstock. This enables you
to print out your creations and adhere them to cardstock, for quick cards!

This Summer Splendor design was attached to a cardstock base that
was run through the Big Shot Manhattan Flower Embossing folder.
