Japanese spruce wood book

I love making books and booking binding... now, I love making books with Japanese spruce wood.  It's very light and very easy to cut and even ink!  I made this book with the help of Kelley and Laurie the other day with coin envelopes.  We'll be doing this same book in our class.  Hope you can join us.

I used the orchid stamp by Hero arts and stamped it once and inked the spruce wood using kodomo incs.  rainbow pads.  I then took a bunch of different washi paper designs and used them for the folds of the envelope as well as the binding. 

Here's a look at the inside.. isn't it cool?  I have to come up with more ways to use the spruce wood.  I just love it!  Hope you can join us for our first class!!!  The stamps used for this book were the "mon" blossom symbols clear set by kodomo inc.

By the way.. I  never posted the last cupcake card I made for our class last Sunday.  Here it is!  It was a full class and we had lots of fun!  Thanks everyone for taking the class!  This set of stamps is a clear set by fiskars.  The cupcake is by rubbersoul.
