Way to use it Challenge
Julia over at Splitcoast has a great challenge for us today! Use Transparencies in your project. I don’t know if I am good at using them, but I sure love to do so. I like to use them on scrapbook pages as well as cards. A long time ago I found transparency book instructions on Two Peas in a Bucket. I made two and then never made one again. When I saw Julia’s challenge I knew I wanted to make another.
This book is very simply. You start out with two 4″ x 8″ sheets of transparencies and two 4″ x 8″ designer paper pieces. Take your two sheets of designer paper and tape them together back to back, so you have one sheet with the same design on both sides. Fold in half.
Fold both transparencies in half. The designer paper will be sandwiched in between the transparency sheets. I used Petals and Paisley Designer paper. I just love that paper.
I stamped the transparencies with the swirl from Doodle this. I made accents with Doodle That.
The spine is made from a 2 1/2″ x 4″ piece of black cardstock. I scored it in half, punched a scallop border with the corner rounder on both ends.
After I had stamped the outer transparency, I lined up the score line of my spine and of my transparency. Next I punched eyelet holes in the center of each scallop and set the eyelets.
The pages are held together by black organdy ribbon from Stampin’ Up!
I got the border idea from Alli Miles, who got her inspiration from the Fancy Pants stamp packing. I kept the packing myself because it looked so pretty. Head over to her blog if you haven’t been there yet. Besides showing off gorgeous artwork, she also has a blog candy drawing going on right now.
