This is a technique my sister taught me. It's called a flip card, because the images flip up as you pull the cord. These cards are really cute to make, but they are a little time-consuming, because of all the measuring and cutting involved.

I took a flower chipboard album and some old black & white photos, from when my mom was a kid, and made this album for her, for Mother's Day. I love the way this turned out! Using the buttons and scrap lace & ribbon really made this album unique I think.

These are 2 cards I made using the Spellbinder's impressabilities: butterflies & flowers.

Both cards were created by inking the impressabilities die, then embossing it.
For the birthday card, I also used the petite ovals--large die from Spellbinder's.

This is an album that I just made for my husband's cousin (and my friend) Diana, for her birthday.

I used a black chipboard album, and various paper & supplies to make this album. I think it turned out great, I hope she likes it! :)
