Rawr-Some Cup Card
Celebrate any little guy's birthday with this Rawr-some Card...
and it's not just any card, it's a 3D diorama-style Cup Card!
To get started I've used a paper to-go coffee cup with plastic lid. I found
this package of cups at my local dollar store for just a couple of dollars.
I used a craft knife to separate the bottom of the cup, as well as cutting the top portion of the cup in half as shown above. The cup comes with the kraft wrapper, which I used as well.
The lid was covered with a disk of patterned paper and then trimmed with chunky twine. The Jelly Clip fits perfectly inside of the little spout!
The bottom of the cup was covered with green gingham paper and then a strip of the same paper was die-cut with a grass die. If you don't have a grass die: cut a strip of paper that measures 5"W X 1.5"H and cut away small strips to resemble blades of grass. The grass strip is then wrapped around the bottom of the cup and curled a bit at the ends.
To decorate the outside and inside of the cup, I used the flattened cup as a template and traced onto two different patterns of paper and cut out. After attaching the papers , I glued on a trim of chunky twine to give a finished look.
Different dinosaur die-cuts were attached to pieces of paper straw. The ends of the straws were clipped into three sections to create a "foot" and then glued to the bottom of the cup.
The front of the kraft band was embellished with a sentiment and small dino sticker.
After the card cup is opened, it can be displayed by stacking the cup into the kraft band and then onto the lid. Such a sweet little keepsake for your RAWR-SOME little one!

Vacay Mini Album & Journal
It's officially Summer and everyone's social media is loaded with
beach pictures and vacation fun. For the occasion, I've designed a sweet
mini album to capture those "VACAY" memories!
To begin, I started with a sheet of 12X12 cardstock that I scored at: 0.5", 5", 6" and 11.5".
Then I turned the paper and scored at: 3.5" and 8.5". After folding along all of the scored marks, I mitered the edges of the 0.5" and 11.5" and made them into the end flaps.
Using a full sheet of cardstock and doubling it, makes it nice and sturdy. You could even add a lightweight chipboard between the scored areas of the front and back covers.
Before adding the flip up pages, I cut a swatch of patterned paper that measured 4.75" square and then attached them to the inside of the cover page. After that, I cut a 4.5" square (Bubblegum cardstock) and adhered to the center of the patterned paper square. (repeat for the opposite side).
I wanted to keep the album congruent, so all of the papers on both sides matched going across.
A mix of French Kiss and Hello Collections were used!
To create the flip pages I cut various colored cardstock as follows (sizes from top to bottom) and all with a 4.5" width: 4.25", 4.5" and 4.75". Each piece was scored at 0.5" from the top. I applied a strong adhesive to the 0.5" flap and began attaching the pages, starting with the bottom flap.
Again, I used a mixture of the French Kiss and Hello Collections' stickers and die-cuts to help bring the pages to life together! And if you'd like an area for tucking in journal tags, just add a folded envelope as I did above!
In finishing, I applied a 7/8" satin ribbon completely around the spine with adhesive tape. A loopy bow that I made from the same ribbon was then attached to the front of the spine.
