I think you can basically do anything Stampin' Up related, but the original idea was to feature new items, carry over items or summer mini items. I decided to use a gift I sent in my Roomie Box for my hop this month. I'm hoping she has already received it by now. :)
I found instructions at SplitCoastStampers for a File Folder Notebook. I used Stampin' Up's Thoroughly Modern File Folders out of the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog to create the folder. Although this particular set of folders in no longer in the catalog, there is a brand new set called Play Date.
I used Soft Suede, Melon Mambo & Whisper White card stock & ink. I colored images with ink & Blender Pen. The stamp set is Elements of Style. As an added touch, I rolled Melon Mambo CS & put inside the RSVP pen and covered the notebook top with the same color.
I'm not sure if you can tell by the picture, but I distressed the edges of the WW & MM cs on the bird card. All 3 cards & envelopes fit in the left pocket and I hang the pen on the inside fold between the 2 pockets. I used a Velcro dot/spot/? to close folder. The outside sentiment is punched with the scallop circle in both colors & rotated. Note: if you miscalculate the trimming/scoring and the notebook doesn't fit, you can trim excess from the top, put envelopes in left pocket & cards in right pocket. (yes...I'm speaking from experience)
I've also used this same set with 2 other color sets: Bermuda Bay & Soft Suede, Black & White. I was on a roll this week. The BB & SS was the first set I made. The B&W set is for my mom for her birthday next week.
Just a couple more blogs to go. Have a great weekend!
Happy Stampin'!

Very, very nice ... Marisol took my words - I was going to say the same thing .. I often make cards with the same set and design in other colors - really makes a difference. Love the little touches - like the pearls on the border of the bird card. Classy! Thanx for sharing ...
I love what you have done, the colors are perfect. I just love this stamp set and yes I see alot of good cards coming out of it. Your whole project is just awesome.
Your roomie is one lucky gal! Gorgeous projects, Lori. TFS.
What lovely ensembles, Lori! Love seeing it in the different color variations. . . .
Argh ... how do you pick a color? They're all so nice! I think I'd have to go with Bermuda bay but really, they're all fantastic!
The cards are GREAT! Simple yet sophistocated and I love that you made the same card with different cards!
