Die cut with coordinating dies, shape using deluxe flower shaping kit, then I glued some Eiskristals in it. 

I also stamped, the coral, a seahorse with black ink on white cardstock and diecut with coordinating dies and colored images. I used a quote from the designer paper for the front, cut and matted with another layer of designer paper.

Instructions: The 6 x 6" circle card comes with the circles already cut in the card base panels. Sort the panels with the largest circle on top and nesting to the smallest circle. Select the papers  from the Tropical Paradise Collection that you want to use on each panel. You may want to coordinate the panels that face each other when each page is opened. The Circles Card is 6 x 6" so  I cut my Tropical Paradise paper at 5 3/4 x 5 3/4". This will provide a 1/8" border around the edges. Sponge the edges of the paper with Peanut Brittle Ink. The paper was applied to the panels that would be on the right hand side. The Basic Circle Large Die was secured in the precut circle with repositional tape. This process was repeated for each panel on the right with the appropriate nesting die. The last page was a solid 5 3/4 x 5 3/4" panel without a circle.

The right sided panels were applied to the  top of the bookbinding flap of the card base with double sided tape.  The designer paper was then  adhered to the left side of each panel. Secure the die in the appropriate circle opening and then  sandwich the page with the  die between two  cutting plates. The rest of the pages will hang off the foot edge of the cutting plate.  Doing it in this order allows the 1/8" margin to be consistent for each page. I did not have any problem running the die through the panels with my Vagabond 2. The bulk of the panels will not have any pressure because only the panel with the die will be sandwiched by the cutting plates.  

The front panel had the eyelet die cut with apricot cardstock by nesting the eyelet and the next size smaller together. The eyelet trim was added to the top of the circle. Stickles were applied to the eyelet embellishment.   I added a decorative paper to the back of my card but that is totally optional. 

The flamingos, cockatoo and various leaves were stamped with black ink on white cardstock. They were colored with the following Copic color combos (Cockatoo - C1, C2, C3, Y11, RY21, YR23, YR27, and black colored pencil, Flamingo - RV10, RV23, YR00, YR18, YR21, YR23, C1, C3, C5, C7, Leaves - G40, G46, YG17, YG11, YG61, YG63, YG67). Each image was die cut with the coordinating die.  Additional images were cut 3 times from green cardstock and adhered with dries clear glue for strength. The images were applied to the card base with double sided mounting tape.   

The plumeria were stamped with Abandoned Coral Distress Ink. The flowers were sponged with the Abandoned Coral ink. The leaves were already colored with Copic markers but the edges were also sponged with Cottage Ivy Ink.   The flowers and leaves were shaped with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. Clear Crackle was applied to the leaves and petals and sprinkled with frosting power. The leaves and flowers were heat set. The flowers were applied with a glue gun.

The tunnel card was embellished with rhinestones.

Learn how to shape the Sunrise lily flowers here
Instructions: To make this 6" x 6" layered card start by choosing the paper that you want to use. I am using the Sunrise Lily Paper Collection. Trim the paper you selected for the panels down to 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" and center the correct size circle die in the center. Tip: To ensure that I was die cutting in the correct place I placed the paper onto the panel and from the backside traced around the circle opening. Then taking 2 panels I die cut both and then trimmed them down to size. Then, simply repeat this for every layer. 

Once you've accomplished that, now you can start decorating! All of the images I used were stamped on white card stock using Watering Can ink before die cutting with the matching dies.  The sunrise lily images and sunrise lily flowers were colored with Pebbles Metallic Cream Chalks and then shaped with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. Finally I accented the stamens with Hot Mama Prills.

Instructions: Construct 5 X 7" layered card (White) then cut designer paper for each side of each page. Distress all the edges of all pages. Sort the panels with the largest oval on top and nesting to the smallest oval. Select the papers from Festive Holly Collection that you want to use on each panel. You may want to coordinate the panels that face each other when each page is opened. To create the windows, tape down the selected designer papers back to back, align the Eyelet Oval and Basic Large Die and run through the die cutting machine. The papers were glued to all the pages on all the sides using appropriate nesting oval die, except the last page which is solid. I also cut an oval frame on white cardstock using two oval dies.

The back side of the album has a pocket which can hold tags for journaling and photo mats.

Instructions: The finished size of this slider tunnel card is 8 1/2" x 1" (13.5 cm x 15 cm) Click here to see the inside pages of this layered book.

The card front for this slider card is 5 1/2" x 7" (14 cm x 17.7 cm). Once you have made the card base, find the matting paper in the paper collection. Cut this a little smaller than the card base. You will only need to cover the card front 1" (2 cm) down as the tunnel card book will be adhered to the rest of the card front base. Cut from the design paper 7" x 1" (17.7 cm x 2.4 cm) for the tunnel card book spine.  Using the Mowed Lawn, ink all the edges of the design paper that will be showing. Adhere the prepared design paper in place. Put aside until you have completed the tunnel book card. Adhere the design paper to the tunnel book card spine, covering the spine and a little on the front. 

Here starts the fun! How to make the whole in the pages: Chose two papers for each page remembering you have a main page and a top page which I did not decorate for this card. Once the pages have been chosen and are cut to size, place the page onto the design paper and trace around the whole. Find the die to fit the oval whole and tape in place before die cutting. Place the tape to the inside of the oval in case the tape rips the paper when taking it off, then it will not show. Tape well as you do not want this to move in your machine! Emboss the papers you want embossed with the embossing folders. You can use either wet glue or double side tape to adhere the pages together and into the bookbinding. 

This project was started with the front page then went to the back of the book and worked forward. You can do what ever suits you. Note, there is no oval hole in the front page because it is covered; this is so it will look like a book cover. 

Take the largest oval die with the fancy edge and cut out from the front page. Cut a smaller oval. Cut a few extra from white card stock and adhere together so the ovals will be very firm and will not bend. These will be adhered back in place with foam 3d dots after the edges are inked with mowed lawn ink. Apply the white drying glue to the roof and water wheel then apply the crystal clear glitter. Leave to dry. When this is dry adhere on place once all the pages are done. Find the twin paper and fancy cut the two cardinal birds. Apply the glue and glitter to the snow on this fussy cut. This will also be later adhered with 3d foam dots. The berries are highlighted with a few drops of Red Berry crystal gloss drops. 

The sentiment is stamped onto the white card stock, cut into strips and the edges are inked. Two lines are adhered to each page of the book. 

The back page: Find two of the designer papers with the large deer on it. Fussy cut the deer from one of these papers. The fussy cutting will be used for two pages. Stamp, colour and die cut the twigs from the window fillers sets. Make x4; apply the glue and glitter to the snow on the twigs. Use the same paper for the background. Adhere to the back page. Adhere the prepared sentiments. Use the remaining deer for the next page, building the picture as you go. 

Do the same for the remaining pages planning and fussy cutting as you go. Not forgetting to apply the glue and glitter before adhering the page to the book. It takes a little longer but then glitter will not get to where it is not wanted. The page with the window: This is stamped and die cut an extra 5 times. Adhere together then ink the window frame with vintage photo. Die cut the fancy frame from the window box elements die set from whit card stock to use as a window curtain, adhere to the back of the window frame before adhering the frame to the page. Stamp the flowers and mistletoe branch for the foot of the window. Arrange and adhere in place. Adhere all the sentiment s to the pages. To finish, add stickles to the snow on the trees and snowflakes on the front page. Adhere the book to the card front. Make a large triple bow and adhere to the top of the slider with a glue dot. 

To finish the card, adhere the mistletoe branch and flower to the knot of the bow.
