This blog is for sharing a love of paper crafting. I love paper crafting -
and Stampin' Up! products in particular -
so much so, that I became an independent Stampin' Up!®™ demonstrator earlier this year!

2021 Road Trip - Black Canyon of the Gunnison & Curecanti

This set of pages is actually fairly similar to the set for Dinosaur - the right hand page is a gate-fold, and the first page has a hidden element - this time the journaling.  This is where my Stamp 'n Up tag punch was very useful.  I could make the tag for the journaling however long and wide it needed to be rather than having to try to tailor my words to fit a pre-set size.  Here's a close up of the slide-out tag.

The picture isn't the best, but here's the companion gate-fold page:

It's pretty straight forward.  It and the inside panels all have titles in reflective fonts that I thought sort of mimicked the heights we saw in the canyons.  A blue strip forms a border on each panel.

Opened Up:


As you can see, the inside panels are similar to the outside ones.  The center panel is brown with blue borders.  The sides are blue with brown stripes. Note that I once again used a tag/label punch for the journaling mats on the side panels.



Curecanti:

This is a pretty straight forward dual page layout.  You can see close ups of each page below.
