 Hello everybody, my name is Amy Combs and I'm from Seamy Valley, California and I've been a demonstrator for 28 years and I want to thank Jill and her team for inviting me to present to you today And I'm going to present this book that I created out of three envelopes So first I'm going to show you the book and what it is and then I'll show you all the products I used to create it and give you a few tips So I use three envelopes to create it and then when you open it You have these fun pockets That are all of the memories and more cards and envelopes And you can put gift cards in there. You can put pictures in there You can write little notes with memories and then when it closes like so Oops You can flip it over and there's Santa Claus Okay, so what I used to create this project was I use the Santa's Express memories and more cards I Used three of the memories and more envelopes and I used two of the cards and Then I used a few embellishments like the snowflakes the rhinestones and some ribbon the only ink pad that I used was poppy parade and I'm going to give you a few little tips and Show you how to create this so I started out with three envelopes and I Have them facing like this To show you so you can kind of get an idea as to what I'm doing. I'll put the sample right there Okay, the first envelope what I did is I actually trimmed this off with a paper trimmer and I flipped it around and stuck it inside here So you can see the polka dots right here Okay, and I don't I didn't bring a scissors up here, so I can't do it for you these pieces I'm gonna use the flaps and I always use seal plus just because I like the adhesive Is it's just stronger for me? And if you're gonna create something like this you want a really strong bond and Then I just match up the bottom of the evening evergreen envelope with the fold on the poppy parade And then I do the same here and by putting the adhesive I use three strips You can go ahead and get a really good seal and when I flip it over It looks like that Okay, then I took my cards. I Cut them in half. So we're just gonna pretend I cut them in half and I put one in here and Then this one I actually cut down the center and one goes here and then The other one goes in here. I attached ribbon by only putting it behind this card here and Then it wraps around the entire book But it's free, you know and I put it underneath this back one, but it's not really attached It's just behind there Now if you have not used the memories and more card packs before They are amazing and a wonderful value from Stampin up and I want to run through a couple things that I did With these they come in four by three cards Which is the size and four by six which is this size You get multiple pieces of each one and they are double-sided You also get some acetate pieces which I used the acetate one on right underneath there and Then you get some fun wood pieces Which I have this Santa here because I want to show you a little trick with that and then you also get sticker sheets Now I usually when I do use the stickers. I also put some of the green glue behind the stickers So they really stick Okay, first I want to show you this Santa He comes out like this and I will warn you to be very gentle with these I Tended to use my snips a little bit when I would go in here to get the pieces out because they do kind of Stick a little bit and just be gentle when you take them out of the packaging and to Color my Santa. I took my ink pad And I flipped him over and I just pressed I Tried to do it with the marker. It didn't really work very well so the ink pad is best and Then let that sit to the side and Then when you do go to put the wood pieces on use your green Tombow glue For that okay, so there's my Santa piece to show you how to do that It will dry a little bit later and then here. I just use the regular Wooden pieces out of those out of the different sheets, but there's a lot of different words And you get two sheets. So you have a lot of different ones I'm gonna run through each page with you and tell you what I did And I'll try to find the cards But sometimes the cards are hard to find when you're looking for them this piece I Actually used this I Cut it down to four inches this way and Then I used we you get multiple cards So I used two cards and pieced it together to make a vertical tree piece This one is actually My favorite card in the pack It's this card and I cut it apart and then I cut the Christmas Okay, the 25 and the Santa are stickers and the snowflake is from the snowflake pack and this This is why I said to make sure to glue your pieces on because it's supposed to be right there But I didn't glue that on Okay, this is a sticker. Yes, and then just some embellishments and this is a sticker It was a tag and I cut the top of the tag off So when you look at these cards make sure you look at cutting them apart using punches using dies With them then you open the book and we'll go to this one this card is an Um Let's see. This is right here the back side of this card and then this is a card and I just cut around it and the Christmas is a sticker and This piece right here is just a one inch strip from here Okay, that goes into here and then my card here is the acetate Right on top of the envelope and I only put my adhesive behind this piece because the adhesive will show here This Santa card is just layered onto a The cards are three by four So he's just layered onto a piece of poppy parade, which is three and a quarter by four and a quarter this is a sticker and This is This card right here So just really look at cutting everything up and playing with it this inside is My evening evergreen card, which I don't see cut in half and then this is This card I trimmed the white off and Cut it to four inches and then I took a second card And I cut out the banner happy Christmas. You can see that's kind of popped up right there and That is the inside piece for here. My dear Santa is Well, this is the snowflake card okay, this is a sticker and This is from this piece right here So I just trimmed this down This is a tag sticker, which is here and Then the deer part comes from here. I just cut that out And there's your deer Santa cute little page and then this that I already showed you how to do to do this one This is the other half of this card and Then I used this on top With a three and a quarter by four and a quarter piece of poppy parade behind it just to kind of make it pop This piece is from this card that I used on remember I used on the other side I use the C is for and I use that so then I use the candy cane right here My Santa Claus is so cute and I use this card and I fussy cut him Which means just trimming around with some scissors and then I layered that on This card Which was also put on a piece of poppy parade. I put the snowflake behind I cut my Santa out and I popped him with dimensionals I took a You have a couple different Holly stickers so I put that there and I just used a little strip of mint macaron and put it there and then I use this ho ho holiday sticker there So it's great. Could you get some fun stickers and fun things and then let's flip it over this was the front of my book so I use this and Then I used a strip of this here about I think this is one and a quarter on This card what I did was You get so many cards I use this one and then I took a second one and I fussy cut it and I popped it up You can see there. I added a little bow and some rhinestones to embellish and Then I had the back still to do so I took this card again I wanted to use the Santa and Mrs. Claus so I tried to find cards that had the same colors So I use this card and I cut it to one and a half inches Which is straight down the middle and I layered one strip there and then one strip down here to get that vertical strip I cut mr. And mrs. Claus out and place them right over the fold or right over the same line of the card here This is also from the same card as mr. And mrs. Claus and then This piece is right here this piece is this one and Then this joy is from the other sticker sheet Okay, so that's right there and then mr. Mrs. Claus I just popped them up and with some dimensionals and embellished it with rhinestones and that is That doesn't want to go back in and that is your book Super easy super. It's not hard working with the memories and more cards are fun. They're really colorful You get two sides you get five of each card. So you have a lot to do And I think I used maybe a quarter of a pack to create this so you can do a lot of different projects with the memories and more pack So that's my little presentation for you, and I hope you liked it. Thank you
