12 Weeks of Christmas Cards: Week 2

Welcome to Week 2 of my 12 Weeks of Christmas Cards!  I've made it two weeks in a row now, so I'm off to a good start.  :)  If you didn't already see last week's cards, you can check them out HERE. 

For this week's cards, I wanted to feature a snowman, snowflakes, and the Beautiful Bokeh papers.  Alas, I don't have any "current" Stampin' Up snowmen or snowflakes, so I used last winter's Snowy Wonder bundle.  Use whatever snowmen and snowflakes that you have in your stash to copy this design!  Don't have any snow globe dies?  Hand-cut some pieces that would work.

I was able to include some of the Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper.

I stamped snowflakes on the Beautiful Bokeh (Balmy Blue) dsp, with Blueberry Bushel ink.  Die-cut some small snowflakes out of the Glimmer paper as well.  I used up some scraps for those, and I miscounted - so some cards got 2 little glimmery snowflakes, some only got 1.

Building the snowglobe was easy.  Die-cut the pieces.  Stamp the tree in Balmy Blue, and the small snowflakes in Blueberry Bushel.  Color the snowman with some Blends, add the Shimmer pen all over, and pop him up.

Emboss the greeting in White on Balmy Blue cardstock, and rip the edges.

Paper Measurements:

• Blueberry Bushel:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
• Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper (Balmy Blue):  4" x 5 1/4"
• Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper (blue):  3" x 4", die-cut snowglobe base; scrap to die-cut snowflakes
• Basic White:  scraps to die cut snowglobe and snowman

I used some Iridescent Faceted Gems on some of the cards, and Silver Sparkle Gems on others.  Used up both of those packs of embellishments!

Supplies you'll need to create these (Stampin' Up, unless otherwise noted.  Items may be retired.):

Stamps: Snowy Wonder Bundle

Ink:  Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel, Tuxedo (Memento)

Paper: Blueberry Bushel, Balmy Blue, Basic White, Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper, Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper

Other: Iridescent Faceted Gems, Sparkle Gems, Neutrals embossing powder (White) Stampin' Blends (Balmy Blue, Pumpkin Pie), Clear Shimmer brush pen

Next week, I'll be going in a different direction and using the Gathering Moments bundle to make a Christmas card!

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!

Triple Easel Cards!

Happy World Card Making Day Folks!

I hope you are able to create a card today, if that is on your list.  I was able to finish the third card from Thursday night, and now I'm ready for a nap.  :)  Thursday night, I had fun sharing these Triple Easel cards.  The design and how-do was inspired by Club Scrap.  Tricia does monthly videos showing how to assemble their monthly Scrapbooking kits, as well as Card kits.  I found this gem from a month or two ago, and she also shared it a few years ago.  I was able to pull the cardstock measurements and scoring from her cut sheets, so you don't have to!

These are really fun cards to make and display.  The trick to get them to stand up properly is to weigh them down with something heavy when you first make them.  As Tricia repeated in her videos, you have to train the card to lay flat, so that it can stand up nicely.  I used some of my larger clear blocks, but you could use anything -

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube. 

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

NOTE:  These cards do fit snugly in an A2/medium envelope.  I weighed my prototype and it came in at .08 oz...so just under the mark for one regular postage stamp.  They are a little thick and bulky though.

I started out with the Kintsugi Inspirations designer series papers.  I cut some of the vases out of the paper, and added greetings.  This is the card standing up nicely.  Notice that you can have some of the bits and pieces hanging off the top edge of the BOTTOM and MIDDLE easels, but NOT the TOP easel.

Paper Measurements:

• Petal Pink:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2" 
• Petal Pink:  4 1/4" x 5", scored at 1 1/4", 2 1/2"
• Petal Pink:  (2) 4 1/4" x 3 3/4", scored at 1 1/4", 2 1/2"
• Petal Pink:  3" x 4 1/4"
• Petal Pink:  2 1/2" x 4 1/4"
• Petal Pink:  2" x 4 1/4"
• Kintsugi Inspirations DSP/Print 1:  2 3/4" x 4"
• Kintsugi Inspirations DSP/Print 2:  2 1/4" x 4"
• Kintsugi Inspirations DSP/Print 3:  1 3/4" x 4"
• Petal Pink/Basic White:  scraps to make easel stopper and greeting
• Kintsugi Inspirations DSP:  hand-cut some of the vases/flowers

Finish with some of the Flower Accents in that nice bright gold.

Stamps:  Simply Said

Ink:  Misty Moonlight

Paper:  Petal Pink, Basic White, Kintsugi Inspirations Designer Series Paper

Other:  1 3/4" & 2" Circle punches, Flower Accents

Here's what the card looks like from the side, and then folded down flat.

The second version is monotone in Berry Burst with the Beautiful Butterflies stamps and dies.  I brought in the Beautiful Bokeh papers on this one.  I think I got all the cuts I needed from one 6" x 6" sheet!

Color in the butterflies with some Stampin' Blends, or use any markers/coloring pencils that you have.

Paper Measurements:

• Berry Burst:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2" 
• Berry Burst:  4 1/4" x 5", scored at 1 1/4", 2 1/2"
• Berry Burst:  (2) 4 1/4" x 3 3/4", scored at 1 1/4", 2 1/2"
• Berry Burst:  3" x 4 1/4"
• Berry Burst:  2 1/2" x 4 1/4"
• Berry Burst:  2" x 4 1/4"
• Beautiful Bokeh DSP/Berry Burst:  2 3/4" x 4", 2 1/4" x 4", 1 3/4" x 4"
• Basic White:  scraps to make easel stopper/greeting, and stamp/die-cut butterflies

Finish off with several Brass Butterflies, and some of the Charming Shimmer Gems in Berry Burst.  I also ran my Shimmer brush all over those butterflies.

Stamps:  Beautiful Butterflies Bundle

Ink:  Berry Burst, Tuxedo (Memento)

Paper:  Berry Burst, Basic White, Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper

Other:  Brass Butterflies, Charming Shimmer Gems, Stampin' Blends (Berry Burst/Melon Mambo), Shimmer pen (i.e. Wink of Stella)

I did not have time to make this last card during the live video - because I wanted to open up my 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar...so I just finished this today.  I used the Gathering Moments bundle along with the most recent Paper Pumpkin kit.  Happy Birthday is from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set.

I stamped the pumpkins, then colored in with Stampin' Blends.  Hand-cut those.  Stamp all the other leaves/foliage and die-cut.  Layer those leaves, and pop some up.  Just remember - don't let anything hang off the very top edge of the last easel.

The easel stopper for this card is made from (4) 1" Early Espresso circles glued together, then popped up with two dimensionals.

Paper Measurements:

• Early Espresso:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2" 
• Early Espresso:  4 1/4" x 5", scored at 1 1/4", 2 1/2"
• Early Espresso:  (2) 4 1/4" x 3 3/4", scored at 1 1/4", 2 1/2"
• Early Espresso:  3" x 4 1/4"
• Early Espresso:  2 1/2" x 4 1/4"
• Early Espresso:  2" x 4 1/4"
• Autumn Toile DSP/Print 1:  2 3/4" x 4"
• Autumn Toile DSP/Print 2:  2 1/4" x 4"
• Autumn Toile DSP/Print 3:  1 3/4" x 4"
• Gray Granite:  scrap to die-cut stitched circle
• Basic White:  scraps to make easel stopper, greeting, and stamp/die-cut leaves/acorns/pumpkins

Added a few Textured Metallic dots to finish it off.

Stamps:  Gathering Moments Bundle, Fall for Toile (Paper Pumpkin Sep 2025), Beautiful Butterflies

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Early Espresso, Onyx (Versafine)

Paper: Early Espresso, Gray Granite, Basic White, Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper

Other:  Layering Circles dies, Stylish Shapes dies, 1" circle punch, Textured Metallic Dots, Stampin' Blends (Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie, Mossy Meadow)

I hope that you are not intimidated by this design.  Three easels in one card seems a little daunting at first, but give it a try.  It's not as hard as the finished product makes it seem.  :)

This coming Thursday (10/9/2025), I plan to share some ideas using the Light & Wonder Dies.  I did NOT get the bundle, but I did get the Lights of Aurora paper that goes with it.  Beautiful products!

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!

Friends of Unity October 2025 Blog Hop: Color Challenge!

Welcome to the October 2025 Blog Hop, brought to you by the Friends of Unity Blog hoppers!  This month's theme is a Color Challenge and I LOVE these colors!  Orange, Brown, Red, and Gold.  They're very Autumn-y, which is my favorite time of year.  I hope you enjoy my FUN card.  I can't wait to see what the other designers have created.

I went with the fun Voodoo Vibes kit.   I got it last year, I think, and have NOT put ink on him yet!  It's definitely a him.   I think of Fall with this one, so the color challenge is perfectly appropriate.

 

I stamped him on a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock, and ripped all the edges.  Mount that to Early Espresso, and then I smeared/direct-to-paper swipe the edges of that with Versamark ink so I could gold-emboss them.  I like that effect.  It's inconsistent, and it works for me.

Color in a little bit with some alcohol markers, and then add some buttons.  I did touch the top of the pins with a Gold Wink of Stella, but it's going dry...not showing up well.  

On the card base itself, I stamped the harlequin background stamp directly on the card front.  Add a bit of Golden Autumn Whispers papers with another ripped edge that I inked up with Tangelo Twist ink (to match the card front).

I finished off with the layered greeting, mounted to a bit of orange polka dot ribbon.  Pop that whole bit up with some foam tape.

Here's a list of everything I used:

Stamps: Voodoo Vibes (Unity Stamp Co), Print Pattern Background (Stampin' Up)

Ink:  Midnight (Catherine Pooler), Tangelo Twist

Paper: Tangelo Twist, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Golden Autumn Whispers paper pack (Unity Stamp Co)

Other:  Gold Sparkle embossing powder (Brutus Monroe), Orange/polka dot ribbon and buttons (stash)

You probably got here from Crystal's post, and the next stop is Dawn's post. Please hop on through and check out everyone's projects.  

We have a special giveaway - play along with our color challenge and add your card to the album over on the Unity Show & Tell FB page.  Amber has a special giveaway happening for entries and all of the details are over on her Blog (it is the last stop on our Hop) Good luck!

Thanks for hopping with us!  If you comment as Anonymous, please leave your name so we know who leaves some love.  

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!

12 Weeks of Christmas Cards: Week 1

Welcome to Week 1 of my 12 Weeks of Christmas Cards!  This is going to be a challenge for me, but I have wanted to do this for so long.  I did a "25 Days of Christmas" back in 2017, and that was WAY too much.  I could barely keep up, and didn't feel like I was having fun creating.  Daily was too much.  Weekly seems reasonable.  THIS will be different.  I've promised myself.  :)

My challenge is ultimately to share lots of holiday card ideas with YOU, and get four cards made every week for ME.  Win-win.  I will create and post every Sunday, and should hit the 12th week by mid-December - still time to get the last of my Christmas cards mailed out.  

I'm starting off with a set of slim line cards.  I love this style of card, AND I was able to get the DSP panels for all four cards out of one 12" x 12" sheet of this pattern.  I still have enough of the pattern left to get maybe two A2 cards out of.  Yay!

Very simple design for these cards.  Make the designer series paper do all the hard work and be pretty, and then add an interesting greeting panel.

I stamped "Merry" first in Old Olive, then added "christmas" kind over top of it in Secret Sea.  The bigger word goes down first in the lighter ink, so that the second word still shows up and stands out in the darker ink.  Play around with your ink colors.  You could also gold-emboss that "christmas" and it would stand out nicely.

I stamped some of the pines on the corners in Old Olive, then went in with the Bronze (or any brown) Stampin' Blend to color the branches.  You could use a regular Stampin' Write marker as well...it was just easier to grab this Stampin' Blend.

Paper Measurements:

• Secret Sea:  8 1/2" x 7", scored at 3 1/2"
• Old Olive:  3 1/4" x 8 1/4"
• Basic White:  3 1/4" x 8 1/4", for inside of card
• Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper:  3" x 8"
• Secret Sea:  1 1/2" x 3 3/8"
• Basic White:  1 1/4" x 3 1/8"

Glue the greeting down in the middle of the dsp/Old Olive panel and then tie the Secret Sea ribbon around that whole panel.  Glue that down to your card front.

Take your Dark Cherry Cobbler (or any dark red, or Sharpie) Stampin' Blend marker and color some regular rhinestones to add.  

Supplies you'll need to create these (Stampin' Up, unless otherwise noted.  Items may be retired.):

Stamps: Seasonal Tags

Ink:  Old Olive, Secret Sea

Paper: Secret Sea, Old Olive, Basic White, Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper

Other: Secret Sea 3/8" Faux Linen Ribbon, Bronze & Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends markers, Basic Rhinestones

Plan on coming back to my blog weekly to see my latest creations.  I'm excited to add more cards to my stash!

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!

Halloween Treat Holders - No Tricks!

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I'm sharing the Halloween treat packaging ideas that I created on Thursday night.  I like to give holiday treats to my pool teams, some of my work people, and then there are the trick-or-treaters.  We don't get many trick-or-treaters, so I make them something special that holds a lot of candy.

This will be the 26th Halloween in our house, and for the past 24 Halloweens I always make some kind of treat container or box filled with candy.  The first year, we didn't know what to expect and we only got a hand-full of treaters so the big bowl of candy I had was plenty.  You know - the big Tupperware bowl that we all have.  :)  After that, I started making 20 of whatever I was doing that year, and always ended up taking most in to work after the fact.  Or Dave would open them up and eat all the candy.  Two years ago, we got 19 treaters and I panicked!  We'd never even come close to hitting my limit!   So I upped my treat boxes to 30 last year, and wouldn't you know it - we only got 7.  HAHAHA!!!  I had a lot to get rid of!  This year, I'm going back to 20 boxes for the trick-or-treaters, and I made up the patten during my live so you can make some too.  The boxes hold 3 full-size candy bars, and you can make them for ANY holiday, themed party, or special occasion.  

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube. 

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

First up is a treat cup filled with miniatures.  I got the cups AND the iridescent cello treat bags from Walmart.  Sometimes they'll have shorter and wider treat cups.  I think these are intended to drink out of.  Either way - they work!  The bags are not gusseted, but the cups do fit down in there.  These are the easiest thing to make - all you have to do is tie the bag closed and make a tag.

Find whatever ribbon or twine that you have in your stash to tie the bags off and attach your tag.  The bags do come with the twisty ties...I don't like them, so I toss those in the trash.

Paper Measurements:

• Basic Black:  2" circle
• Basic White:  1 3/4" circle
• Basic White:  scraps to stamp/cut pumpkin and greeting

Finish with a few rhinestones.  

These are easy to make in assembly-line fashion too.  Stamp all the things, punch all the things, cut all the things...assemble.

Stamps:  Party Celebrations, Good Greetings, one of the Halloween Paper Pumpkin stamps

Ink:  Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Tuxedo (Memento)

Paper:  Basic Black, Basic White

Other:  1 3/4" and 2" circle punches,  Pumpkin Pie/Basic Black Baker's Twine, rhinestones, Halloween cups & cello bags (from Walmart)

My second treat container involves a soup or vegetable can with the pop top.  Don't open it with the pop top!  You'll need to cut the top off with your Pampered Chef can opener - that leaves the edge SMOOTH.  You won't cut yourself at all.  Wash it out, then fill with candy.  GLUE THE LID BACK ON.   I was using my Art Glitter glue and it did not want to hold nicely.  I would recommend using Crystal Effects (or whatever similar product is available) that we used years ago.  That stuff really held these lids on nicely, and dried pretty quickly.

Once your lid is secured back on, wrap your can with whatever papers you want.  This was a soup can, and I needed paper that was 11" wide...I forgot to cut that extra inch off, so I just kept wrapping it.  No biggie.  I added some of the Spooky Sweet ephemera pieces, and tied my tag on with some Petunia Pop ribbon.

Paper Measurements:

• Spooky Sweet Designer Series Papers:  3" x 12" piece, and a 2" x 12" piece
• Basic Black:  scrap to layer tag
• Basic White:  scrap to stamp tag

Again, you can use this can idea for any occasion or themed party.  The fun is popping it open to see what's inside.  I used a larger can for my friend's birthday one year.  You'd be surprised what you can fit inside.

Stamps:  Party Celebrations, Good Greetings, one of the Halloween Paper Pumpkin stamps

Ink:  Tuxedo (Memento)

Paper:  Basic Black, Basic White, Spooky Sweet Designer Series Paper

Other:  Petunia Pop 3/8" Bordered ribbon

My final project is a BOX.  I love making boxes, and I showed in the video how I come up with the perfect size for what I need.  In this case, I needed it to hold three full-size candy bars.  Pattern is below.  

I would stamp on the paper BEFORE you score anything.  I did not do that, but luckily it still worked out. 

Here is the pattern that I came up with during the live.  You can use cardstock, like I did, OR any kind of patterned paper.   Patterned paper isn't as sturdy as cardstock - but really, it's a one-time use, so who cares?  They have to rip it open anyway.  This is a completely sealed box.

Paper Measurements:

• Grapefruit Grove:  8 1/2" x 8 1/2"
• Score top and bottom at 1 1/4"
• Turn and score at 2 3/4", 4", 6 3/4", and 8"
• Cut tabs according to video, and assemble. 
• Fill with candy, and glue shut.
• Basic Black:  scrap to punch starburst
• Basic White:  scrap to punch label

Here's a look at the top/bottom of the box.  See how it's all sealed shut?  Nice edges, everything is straight.

Stamps:  Party Celebrations, one of the Halloween Paper Pumpkin stamps

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Timid Tiger, Tuxedo (Memento)

Paper: Basic Black, Basic White, Grapefruit Grove (retired)

Other:  Starburst punch, 1 3/4" circle punch, Black/White polka dot ribbon (maybe Joann's)

Again - this box can be made for any theme or occasion as well.  Don't you love ideas and patterns that work for anything?!    I hope you can use some of my ideas!

This coming Thursday, I'll be sharing some Triple Easel cards that I learned how to make from Tricia over at Club Scrap.  I'll also open up my 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar IF it gets here in time!  I'll do that at the end of my video, so if you want to be surprised you can stop watching.

Enjoy your weekend.

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!

Weekend Adventures Mini Album

Happy Sunday Friends!

I am so excited to share this Mini Album with you.  I used the Weekend Adventures Scrapbooking Workshop Kit, along with the Weekend Adventures Designer Series Paper AND the coordinating Two-Tone cardstock pack to make this album.  I didn't do any stamping, and I didn't decorate the cover.

Most times, I want the cover to reflect the pictures that I have in the album, and I haven't quite decided on which pictures to use yet.  This album is 8 1/2" x 8 1/2", with a 1 1/4" spine.  It will hold A LOT of pictures!  The pages are all 8" x 8", with pockets.  

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously.  NOTE:  Facebook has been behaving poorly for quite some time, so I recommend viewing on YouTube.  Also, Facebook is no longer saving videos longer than 30 days, so if you need to watch an older video - YouTube is your best option.

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

I created the BASE of the album ahead of time in Part 1 of the tutorial - wrapped chipboard covers, using the Lay Flat Method created by Country Craft Creations, created the hinges and three base pocket pages.  There is no blog post for that.  The video (with all of the chipboard and paper measurements) is HERE.  I suggest watching that first as homework for this Part 2 Tutorial.

I'm going to give all of my cardstock/paper measurements for everything I created in this Part 2 Tutorial, and a few pictures.

I want to point out a couple of things:   I have THREE base pocket pages attached to the hinges in this album.  Each pocket page has two sides....six sides.  I call those six sides PAGES.  So, six pages.  I created THREE page designs.  Pages 1 & 6 are the same, pages 2 & 5 are the same, and then pages 3 & 4 are the same.  Same design, same papers, same same same.  I didn't want to design six different layouts.

I have three pocket page inserts that can be used to add photos, journaling, ephemera...anything you want.

Finally, I used magnets on several of the pages.  You'll see where I placed them in the video.  You don't have to use magnets, but I prefer to use them to keep page elements from flopping open.  The magnets that I use are in my Amazon Store, linked at the bottom of this post.

Paper Measurements: 

• Inside Covers (Front and Back) with Gusseted Pockets:
• Designer Series Paper:  (2) 8 1/4" x 8 1/4"
• Cardstock/Chocolate Chip:  (2) 3 1/2" x 9 3/8", scored at 1/2" on sides and bottom
• Designer Series Paper:  (2) 2 3/4" x 8 1/8"
• Pocket Page Inserts:
• Cardstock (Cajun Craze/Misty Moonlight/Garden Green):  (3) 7 1/2" x 7 1/2"
• Designer Series Paper:  (3) 7 1/4" x 7 1/4"
• cardstock:  scraps to punch out pull-tabs
• Pages 1 & 6:  Flip Out Panels
• Cardstock/Chocolate Chip:  (2) 8" x 12", scored at 5 1/2", 11 1/2"
• Designer Series Paper or Two-Tone Cardstock:  
• (2)  7 3/4" x 7 3/4"
• (4)  5 3/4" x 7 3/4"
• (4) 5 1/4" x 7 3/4"
• Pages 2 & 5:  Gatefold Pockets with Photo Booklet Closure
• Cardstock/Chocolate Chip:  (4) 4 1/2" x 11", score at 4" on the short side, turn and score at 8" on the long side.
• Designer Series Paper:
• (2)  7 3/4" x 7 3/4"
• (4)  3 3/4" x 7 3/4"
• (4)  2 3/4" x 3 3/4"
• Two-Tone Cardstock/Basic Beige:  (2) 6" x 12", scored at 6"
• Designer Series Paper:  (2) 5 3/4" x 5 3/4"
• Pages 3 & 4:  Top/Bottom Flaps with Photo Mat Closure
• Cardstock/Chocolate Chip:  (4) 8" x 6", scored at 5 1/2" on the 6" side
• Two-Tone Cardstock/Cajun Craze:  (2) 7 3/4" x 7 3/4"
• Designer Series Paper:  (4) 5 1/4" x 7 3/4", or any combination of scraps to cover the flaps.
• Cardstock/Basic Black:  (2) 6" x 6"
• Designer Series Paper:  (2)  5 3/4" x 5 3/4"

I'm using the inside cover pockets to store some leftover pieces of two-tone cardstock that are good photo mat sizes.  I only used a few of the stickers and die-cuts.  Until I know which pictures I'll use and where I want to put them...I can't willy nilly add ephemera bits.

I punched out all of the die-cuts and put in a small baggie to keep in the back pocket.

Stamps:  None

Ink:  None

Paper:  Chocolate Chip, Basic Black, Weekend Adventures Scrapbooking Workshop Kit, Weekend Adventures Designer Series Paper, Weekend Adventures Two-Tone Cardstock pack

Other:  None

I am VERY excited to fill this album with pictures and things, and it's going to hold a lot.  I'll decorate the cover when I'm at that point.

I think it's a great size album, and you can definitely make this in ANY theme.  Check your papers.  I will add that I used 12 or 13 pieces of Chocolate Chip 12" x 12" cardstock to make this book.  I found it when I was re-organizing, and I love Chocolate Chip.  You could get away with 6 or 7 pieces, if you also had 8 1/2" x 11" in the same color, to make the base pocket pages.  I only had Chocolate Chip in the 12" x 12", so I had to use it throughout.

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!
