Summer ATC Album with Decorative Box (June TCP Tuesday)

Good morning. I have a project for you today that I shared at the TCP Pajama Party over at Splitcoaststampers in May just prior to the new release. Seriously, this was my favorite TCP release!!  I thought the set fit this month's TCP challenge perfectly which is to use your embellishments and layer, layer, layer!

When I saw the new Luggage Tie CutUps I knew I wanted to use them with a Maya Road chipboard box and ATC album set that has been in my stash for a while now. Warning, this is a picture heavy post.

I started out by die-cutting  the four tags shapes and then added/cut patterned paper, some bits and baubles and stamping primarily from the new Summer Sentiments and Small Sayings sets for a summer travel theme.

I then cut the mats and bases for the ATC's, embossing the plain white panels for more interest and then attached the tags.

I added a plain white backing to each of the cards, stamping a small image from the Summer Sentiments set in the lower corner. The remainder was left plain white for journaling or small photos.

I decorated the box with various patterned papers from several summer themed 6x6 pads, using the new Glasses CutUps to attach to the front. Afterall, one needs those sunglasses in the summer.

 

Here are the invididual ATC's so you can get a better look at the details. I stamped the icons from the Summer Sentiments set and then repeated them with Studio Calico Wood Veneer die-cuts.

 

I added the row of cars which is also from the Summer Sentiments and then added a sentiment from the Small Sayings set which I cut with the matching Talk to Me Cutups.

I put together the sentiment on this starting with a sentiment from the Life's a Beach stamp set wiping away the "A" before stamping. I then replaced it with the @ sign from the Coolvetica alphabet set and "the" from Aim High set.

Created a small beach landscape by adding a strip of white sand with cardstock and then stamped a couple of beach umbrellas from the Summer Sentiments set. I then attached a sentiment from the Small Sayings set which I cut with the matching Talk to Me Cutups.
