1. I cut down a piece of craft cardstock to 9 x 8 inches, then scored down the middle, so my traveler's notebook would measure 4 1/2 x 8 inches.
2. I cut down some graph paper (torn out of a spiral notebook) down to 9 x 8 inches, then scored down the middle.
3. I placed the paper inside the cardstock, then sewed down the middle/fold using my sewing machine.  (Note: if you don't have a sewing machine, you can hand stitch or staple your project together.)  You may need to trim down the sides of the graph paper due to the folding and bulk.
4. I took a corner chomper tool, and rounded the right edges of my notebook.

1. I die cut a tag from a piece of heavy weight white card stock.
2. I stamped the party hat/cupcake panda image from the clear stamp set multiple times on the tag.
3. Using water color markers, I colored the hat and cupcakes.
4. I die cut another tag from a piece of patterned paper, and then glued the 2 tags together. 
5. I used some pink & white twine to finish off my tag.

Welcome to Day 5 of our Sneak Peek Week!! Today we are featuring our Panda collection.
These are part of the the mini clear stamps that have lots of teeny stamps all in one collection!


Today we'll start with my cards (Nami). It was fun coming up with coordinating cards that matched each other. Once I chose a color scheme, it came pretty quickly.


I started with a black card as a base, found here. I then used the polka dotted background to create the dots and the 3 Line Border to create the plaid.

This next one is a card within a card. It 's a great way to create a little card, but then use if for a special occasion. Sometimes creating little cards are easier and this is a good solution.
I used the Smoky Gray Versafine Ink Pad on the Charcoal Gray cardstock to create this background.
This is a little card with a lot going for it. It is a trifold card with lots of places to add your message.
Here is what it looks like when it is tied closed.


This is what it looks like when you open up the first flap.

Here is what it looks like opened up all the way.

Here's the first panel in more detail.






The next card is by Valerie. Look at all the fun and festive colors and detail. A very happy card and perfect for a birthday.


Here is another angle of the card.


Here's one more pic.



I hope you are enjoying these really fun and festive projects for Sneak Peek Week. Come back tomorrow for another day of fun!! We have a special surprise for you this Thurs, so stay tuned!
