Mini album for Valentine’s Day

Jan

Hello crafty friends, it’s Lucile! Today I find you to make a new mini album! As you probably know, I love making mini albums! For this new mini I have chosen a Valentine’s Day theme. Single or couple, nothing prevents us from having fun with the magnificent collections of Pebbles! In addition to my album, I created a box to be able to had memories or a nice gift. I made it with my Silhouette Cameo. I simply cut out a box pattern which I glued. Then I sewn hearts on the cover to add volume.

To create my mini album I used cardstock. I started by making my cover. My album is 14×14 cm and it is 7cm thick. I made a classic album structure which I covered with paper from the collection.

For the binding, I was inspired by the travelers notebook. I drilled 11 holes at the top and bottom of my slice. Then I used elastic thread. I connected each hole diagonally to add a decorative side. Finally, I added a heart die cut in the center to add volume to my binding.

Inside my album, I slipped my pages. I cut them out from different papers in the collection. I love this binding because you can add as many pages as you want!

To finish, I decorated my cover. This is what I prefer when I make a mini album. I glued a lighter paper to be able to add decorations. Then I created a frame to remind my background. I added die cuts and foam embellishments. I added 3D foam to give a volume effect to my cover.

I hope you like this mini album, I can’t wait to see your achievements! See you soon for new creations. Kisses!

December Mini Album

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today with a mini album I created to document my December. I don’t do December daily albums, but like a more scaled back approach. It allows me to document my life without the pressure of having to come up with something new every single day!

My mini album is approximately 5″x7″ and created in much the same way as my previous travel journals. This one however has a pretty gold ribbon to tie it shut. Here is a closer look at my cover…

The Merry Little Christmas collection has so many fabulous embellishments; ephemera die cuts, stickers, thickers … plus the most festive pattern papers. Inside I altered photo mats with 3″x4″ journal cards.

I love the look of transparent pages embellished with digital cut files. This FaLaLa tree is available at JustNick Studios.

I love the gingerbread ephemera and stickers in this collection. On these pages, I added a cut file gingerbread house border from Paige Taylor Evans that is available in the Silhouette store.

Here is a second transparent page, this time with a wreath cut from 3 different green cardstock shades. This cut file is available from JustNick Studios as well. You can also see snowflake flourishes on the previous page. The snowflake cut file is available in the Silhouette store.

The wreath will eventually frame the photo I add on the wintery page following.

Here is the back cover… I was having so much fun, I couldn’t help but decorate the back cover too. The Joy card is another JustNick Studio digital cut file.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great December. Maybe you would like to try to make a December mini album to document your special days too.

My december daily

Hello crafty friends, it’s Lucile! Today I present you my december daily for this year! It’s been 3 years since I embarked on the adventure of the december daily. Last year, I used a travelers but this year I wanted to create it myself.

I did it the size of a standard photo to insert photos. It also helps to not have too much work every day by filling it. I used exclusively the collection “Merry Little Christmas”. For the cover, I used a red paper, traditional Christmas color.

To keep my album closed, I added a paper lanyard. I made all my decoration directly on this strip of paper. I used die cuts from the collection and the Puffy Thickers. I also used 3D foams to add volume.

The most complicated part of this december daily is the binding. I used a binding that is used to connect the big notebooks. Simply sew all the paper sheets individually and assemble them with a thread. To add a decorative side, I also perforated my cover but it can hold without this step. It’s estetic.

To finish the decoration of the slice of my album, I created a white pompom and I added a die cuts. It’s simple but I think it adds a unique and original side to the album.

Inside the album, we find different papers of the collection. I can’t wait to start it! And you, have you a december daily?
I hope that my album will give you ideas to create yours, see you soon!

Gift Card Mini Album

Hey everyone, Michelle here today sharing a new project using the Merry Little Christmas collection. I’ve always wanted to do a mini album for gift cards and this collection was perfect for it. I used a cut file from Lori Whitlock. I started it off by cutting the base out of white AC cardstock. That way I knew that anything I added would match. I went with a bright red paper for the cover and these gorgeous gold phrase thickers!

I added one piece of ephemera to each page of the album. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t too thick and wouldn’t stay closed.

I also added a strip of washi on top of each page. I love how washi is so easy to use!

I love how the gift cards fit perfectly in the little pockets.

I also added some floral paper on the inside covers, just to make it more colorful!

This little album will hold 6 gift cards. How fun is that?? I haven’t decided who I’m giving it to yet. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas crafts with Terhi

Hello everyone, Terhi here again!
It’s November and it seems this is appropriate time to get some Christmas crafts done first time this year. I took our photos from last year and put some of them to this sweet little mini album I created using Merry Little Christmas. Let me show how it looks.

The mini book is totally and completely inspired by the diagonal striped paper called Oh Christmas Tree. The paper has all the colors this line includes and it’s so pretty.
I folded the paper over a card board to form covers for the book. Took some time and lots of double sided tape, but I like the result! Then I made couple of cute little pom poms to decorate the back of the mini book.

There are seven spreads inside the book, and the strings from the pom poms keeps the pages in place.
Maybe I should have recorded a video of the making to show you how it was done. Do you think I should create another one? Please leave a comment here, I’d love to know.

Each spread has a photo or two on one page, and very simple embellishments on the other page. Love the ephemera pieces in this sweet collection as there’s pieces of snowmen dancing and reindeers laughing, so many fun and even unexpected elements.

To keep the simple style through the mini book, the cover has quite simple embellishments too. Only some flowers with trees on the background, and more ephemera as a title.

Are you already in the mood for Christmas? What kind of projects you’re creating?
Thank you so much for coming here today!
