Secret Fiskateer Agent Kelly 006558 reporting in to say mission complete!

 Rebecca sent me two Jenni Bowlin Fiskars Special Edition Punches to complete the mission: Make a fun project and send pictures.

Mission 1: Envelope Mini Photo Album using the Jenni Bowlin Tab Squeeze

     

I took four 5 ½” x 5 ½” envelopes and stuck them together to make the book. I adhered card stock and patterned paper over each envelope “page”. I then cut more cs & pp to make inserts. I made tabs with the Tab Squeeze Punch. Because I wanted a more stiff and secure tab I folded a piece of card stock and put it in the punch with the folded edge just right before the top of edge of the tab. This way I got a tab with an attached front and back or a double folded tab if that makes any sense to you. This way I could put the tab “grabbing” the inserts I made that slip into the envelope. ( if you try this the thinner your card stock the easier it will punch. My cs is thick, but it worked and did not break my punch) I made this for my niece who is expecting our first great niece. She can put photos of their baby girl in it. This is the first Envelope Mini Photo Album I have ever made. I am very happy with how it turned out. Thanks Rebecca for giving me this opportunity to push myself to try something different!


Mission 2: Banner Card using the Jenni Bowlin Blue Ribbon Squeeze Punch

 As you can see the ribbon punched from this punch is fairly small. It is perfect for cards or cupcake toppers. I am a card maker so I knew I needed to make a card. To secure the ribbons on the twine I punched out an extra “top circle” piece of each ribbon. I then sandwiched the twine between these two pieces with glue dots. Walla! A banner to hang on my card! If you have any questions about either of my Secret Mission projects just ask and I will try to answer them. J

 

Now back away because this message will self-destruct in 5 seconds, 4, 3, 2, 1…. Ok, I got a little carried away with the OO Secret Agent stuff! Thanks for the fun of being a part of this great Fiskateers group and for letting me share my projects.

Congratulations Kelly!  You've been upgraded to "00" status!  Great projects!!!
