Asian Happy Birthday Tag Book Pop-up

Made this birthday tag book recently.  Base of this tag book is using the Karen Burniston Tag Book Pop-up Die along with other dies.  Finished size is 3" x 6".
Dies used to make this book are:
Memory Box Woodland Branch Die
Frantic Stampers Kokeshi Japanese Paper Doll Die
Frantic Stampers Petite Sakuras Die
Cuttlebug Asian Set of Asian Embossing Folder
Penny Black Geometric Borders Die
Spellbinders Celebration Die 
This is the front of the tag book: embellished with the Woodland Branch and die cut Cherry Blossoms. The Cherry Blossom embossing folder is used on the light green card stock. Add any type of sentiment to the front.

There is a 1/4" hinge made using the light green card stock (this hinge is part of the die).  The front and the back of the tag book are finished the same.
Here';s a closer look at the tag front:

Mia's Baby Bitty Album

Made this baby album for a newborn girl. The base of this project kit is from Stampin-Up. Many years ago this chipboard album kit was available to assemble and decorate. Kits have been retired for a while.  My own stash has now whittled down to a few kits left to make for special occasions.  Packaged with a clear cello bag and tied with a baby tag (from my stash) makes it a pretty gift for the parents.
Finished album size is 5" x 4-1/8" x 1-1/4".  Darice ABC's Embossing folder used for the front shape.  Both nesting shapes were cut using images from the Silhouette on line store. Stampin-Up and Word Window Punch used for the spinner "track".
See the pacifier roll toward the left when the album box is tilted? It used by adhering two pennies along with foam squares to help it roll. 
Side view of album with Charms hanging from 1/8" White Satin Ribbon.
On the cover the Onesies were cut using the Silhouette, then popped with foam squares.  Name "Mia" is cut using the Silhouette computer program, then popped with foam squares.
