Secret Garden Coaster Album

Here is a coaster album that I made using the Simply Scrappin' kit ~ Secret Garden.  I know that it is retired now but you can easily substituted it with the new Rose Cottage Simply Scrappin' kit.

These are very easy to put together. For this album I used my Bind-It-All with the 3/4" coils and 7 coasters. 

The first thing that I did was to used my Always Artichoke marker and color all four of the edges of each 4" medium weight coaster.  When you do this make sure to color over the edge and onto the top and bottom of each coaster about 1/8".  This will ensure that no white peaks out from under the DP.

  For the cover I used Always Artichoke textured card stock cut at 3 7/8" x 3 7/8" layered with a piece of 3½" x 3½" DP that I used the ticket corner punch on.  LOVE is from the stamp set So Many Sayings (level 1 hostess set from 2007 Fall~Winter Collection) and was stamped with Always Artichoke ink onto Groovy Guava textured card stock and then punched out with the large oval punch.  The oval was distressed by dragging it across the Always Artichoke ink pad and then attached to the front with an oval frame from the Pewter Hodge Podge Hardware kit.  The ribbon is Always Artichoke ¼" Grosgrain and Whisper White Taffeta that I dyed using my Groovy Guava re-inker.

Here are photos of the inside pages and of the back cover.  They are pretty straight forward as I wanted the photos to be the main focus.

                              

If you would like to create a coaster album similar to this one sign up for my monthly newsletter (in the left column) and I'll let you know when the next class is, I hold several classes each month in my Laconia, NH home.

Do you want to attend one of my stamping classes, but you can’t make it because you are busy or you live too far away?  Purchase one of my class kits.  Each kit contains all supplies, dimensions for all projects, step by step directions, color photos of each step and any template that was used.

Have a wonderful day and keep stamping!
