I have lots of projects to share with you using one of my favorite specialty papers Rockabilly! It's right up there with my favorite stamp set Just Jawing, which I also used!! This paper set has a special added touch to it in that it has a glossy finish.


The first one I want to share with you is little project I call a Flip Scrap Card.

This little beauty folds down to 5x6", a great size for a card but when you open it completely it is 5x12".

Each flap opens revealing another page. You can add pictures, quotes or journaling, it all depends on what you want to do. It may seem like it use a long of paper but it only took 1 sheet of DSP, and half a sheet each of colored cardstock.

Recipe: Stamp Set - Just Jawing; Cardstock - Rockabilly Specialty DSP, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, and Whisper White, Basic Black; Ink - Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Versamark; Accessories - White Embossing Powder, Clear Embossing Powder, Versamarker, Real Red Pen, Old Olive Pen, White Gel Pen, 5/8" Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon, Dimensionals, Scallop Punch, Scallop Border Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Handheld Circle Punch.

I wanted a fun boy/tween card and this one did just the trick.

It's bright and fun. The glossy DSP adds just the perfect touch giving it the Rock & Roll feel to it.

This next one is perfect way to spruce up those gift cards we give; especially for a teenager.

The belly band slips around to keep the gift card closed.

Next here's a girlie card ... as a matter of fact this is the one my Mom is getting for Mother's Day ... ssh don't tell her.

This one I actually had a hard time trying to get just the way I wanted but finally it all fit together.

My last project is this rockin' 6x6 scrapbook page.

I just love this skull and it works perfectly with this sheet from rockabilly! I want a more masculine eye so I punched the hearts out with the circle punch and layered behind it with basic black paper and added the kiwi kiss pupils with the handheld punch. To give him a bit of color I watercolored the bones to match the paper.
