This card is a variation of the previous one.

There are a couple techniques going on here. The top center piece is a 3D shaker box. The main piece was cut at 3x3 and stamped with the flowers. The center was punched with a 1.25 square punch. Next, the word "Celebrate" was masked out by inking the stamp with a marker. I then stamped over the open square (this works best with the stamp upside down so you can center it better.)

Next I stamped the full image on a separate piece to fit behind the opening. A window sheet was adhered to the back of the opening on the main square. I then used the edges found on the dimensionals sheets to add depth. I filled this area with beads before removing the dimensional backing and placing the full "Celebrate" stamped image onto it.

Finally, the center "U" was inked with the "rock-n-roll" technique. I first inked the stamp with Pretty in Pink ink and then rolled the edges of the stamp on my basic black pad before stamping the image.

The cover of a 6x6 one sheet wonder scrapbook album that I made for my mother-in-law when we were visiting her in Maui. After stamping the very vanilla and old olive cardstock on both sides, I simply cut the sheets in half. I used one of each strip folded in half as my pages. Then, I cut the 2 remaining strips in two and adhered them to the pages before assembling them.

Mele Kaliki Maka! Spending Christmas in Maui was quite the change from our snowy season in Minnesota. We took Brandon to see Santa at the Kula hardware store. At first he would not sit on the jolly giant's lap, until his dad joined him.
