This sweet little brag book was the 3D project at one of my recent Make and Take classes. I really wanted to have a 3D item that could be put to use right away. So this is what I came up with! I love the bright fun colors and using a stamp in a slightly different way than you would normally think to use it. This is a fun and easy little brag book to make. It’s
sized to perfectly hold wallet sized photos! All you have to do is glue in your photos or add some journaling and you're all set with a lovely gift or just a pretty brag book that will fit easily into your purse!

Cut a piece of Strawberry Slush card stock 4” x 6-1/4”.
With the 6-1/4” side against the top of your Simply Scored, score at 3” and
3-1/4”. Fold on both score lines.
Cut one piece Coastal Cabana polka dot DSP 2-5/8” x
3-5/8”. Cut one piece Whisper White card stock 2-3/4” x 3-3/4”. Adhere the DSP
onto the Whisper White card stock. Adhere this layer onto the front of your
Strawberry Slush book.
Cut two pieces of Pistachio Pudding card stock 3-3/4” x
11”. With the 11” side against the top of your Simply Scored, score at 2-3/4”,
5-1/2”, 8-1/4”. Fold on the score lines like an accordion. Repeat on the other
piece of Pistachio Pudding card stock.
Adhere one side of the accordion inside the Strawberry
Slush book.
For the belly band cut one piece of Pistachio Pudding
card stock 1” x 7-1/4”. With the 7-1/4” side against the top of your Simply
Scored, score at 2”, 2-3/8”, 5-3/8”, and 5-3/4”. Fold on all the score lines.
Add a piece of Sticky Strip against the 1” edge of the
strip at one end.
Remove the Sticky Strip liner. Place the belly band
around your closed brag book and adhere the Sticky Strip onto the other end of
the Pistachio Pudding belly band. This will make sure that you get the band the
correct size. Make sure that the ends overlap on the front of the brag book.
Stamp the chevron oval from Oh Hello onto a scrap of
Strawberry Slush card stock in Strawberry Slush ink. Use the Decorative Label
punch to punch out a chevron label. Stamp the greeting frame from Sweetly
Framed onto a scrap of Whisper White card stock in Coastal Cabana ink. Stamp the greeting from Best of Love in the
center of the frame with Strawberry Slush ink. Punch out the label with the
Decorative Label punch.
Adhere the greeting label on top of the stamped chevron
label.
Adhere the layered labels onto just the belly band with a
couple Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Now just add pictures or journaling to the inside pages
and you have a sweet little brag book to keep
with you or give as a gift!
