MINI ALBUM

I have had a pack or two of the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON MEMORIES & MORE CARD PACK and the coordinating CARDS & ENVELOPES sitting in my cupboard unused until now.

For this project I used half of the envelopes and Memories and More pack to make a mini album.

I trimmed the envelopes down to 6.25″ x 4″ and kept the flap in tact. On my Facebook Live, yesterday, I shared how I made this album.

If you click on the image below, you can watch the Facebook Live I did on Wednesday showing you how to make it.

The album cover was created using two 6.25″ x 4.25″ pieces of Magenta Madness card stock. These were then covered with some of the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON 6″x 6″ DSP cut to 6″x 4″. A strip of the DSP was also used to create a spine covering, although it was cut in half to allow it ‘stretch’ to the top and bottom of the album. The gap was easily filled with a length of IN COLOUR RIBBON.

When opened, the album reveals the five In Colours.

Each section opens out allowing space for photos to be added and journaling completed.

Each section has a pocket with a piece of Whisper White card stock slipped inside.

I am very pleased with the end result.

Check out my video to see how to make your own.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

A PRETTY PINK BIRTHDAY CARD

When I started on this card I wasn’t quite sure where it would go.

I wanted to use the STITCHED TRIANGLES DIES to cut triangles from some DSP – I chose to use one of the designs from the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON DSP, as well as coordinating cardstock – Bumblebee, Magenta Madness and Poppy Parade.

There were lots of possibilities but this is what I decided in the end – a number of DSP and cardstock hexagons. Then I die cut several dandelions using the SWEET SILHOUETTE DIES for the centre of one hexagon.

The Whisper White layer was embossed using the SCRIPTY 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER.

Finally, some ribbon and enamel dots completes the project.

Despite my very sticky fingers, this card was so much fun to make!

What do you think?

MERRY CHRISTMAS

The card I shared yesterday used some Designer Series Paper from the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON pack. For today’s card I chose another piece of paper from that pack – this time, the Christmas inspired poinsettia one.

I wanted to create a clean and structured look for this card.

Three panels were cut using one of my favourite die sets, the STITCHED RECTANGLES DIES. I spaced them evenly and popped them up on dimensionals. There was just the right amount of space for two lengths of JUST JADE 1/4″ RIBBON, with a bow tied into each piece.

The WORD WISHES DIES gave me the Merry Christmas I wanted. I cut each word three times using Poppy Parade cardstock with ADHESIVE SHEETS attached. This allowed me to layer the two words and create some lovely dimension.

Lots of RED RHINESTONE BASIC JEWELS added all the bling I wanted.

I added strips of the DSP to the inside of the card and the envelope.

The use of just few colours is one of my favourite approaches to card making – Just Jade, Poppy Parade and Whisper White for this project.

Happy stamper … happy stamping.
