Fancy Pants - "Baby" Mini Albums

Good Morning,

Something different to show you - I have created some Mini Albums for a couple of friends who are having babies.  I created these two albums using papers from the Fancy Pants ranges from the clearance section at Wild About Scrap.  There is a great range of products on clearance - papers, embellishments etc - take the time to look I am sure you will find something at a bargain price. Ooh, I sound like an advertisement....  (It's also their Birthday this month - so you can get 20% off all their full priced products until 30 April 2014!!)

Anyway, back to the albums, I know how busy it can get with brand new babies (My Dad asks how can you get a brand new baby - is there such a thing as an old baby??? hehe!!)  so I created these to be -  busy Mum user friendly - all they need to do is add a photo and a spot of journalling.

The pages on the inside are the same - the covers differ slightly.

For both albums I used a concertina style binding.

Each page has a tag pocket, an owl stamped in the right hand corner from Stampin Up's Aviary, and the word Love stamped in the bottom left corner.

I stamped a journalling box on one side of the tag, and on the other a frame so Mum can add a word or another photo if she wishes.

Here is an example of one of the inside pages - if you wish to see all the pages, more instructional details and a list of the products I have used - please visit Wild About Scrap's Blog.

Hope to see you again soon,

Creating with BaRb-Stampin'up-Another Memorable moment

Another Memorable moment
Hi there
Another memorable moment to share

This card is in shimmery white and razzleberry.
The happy birthday sentiment was first stamped to the card front. A panel of white card was embossed in a spot folder and taped centrally to the front. Lace and razzleberry ribbon were taped across.
Using the labels die I cut a large label in silver glittered white tissue paper, a smaller label in razzleberry, which I then embossed in the spot folder, and a still smaller label which had been stamped with razzleberry.
These labels were layered together using mini silver brads, and then attached to the card with dimensionals.
A memorable card for a memorable day.

Flowering Flourishes-Pink Inspire
Hello again
Another card this time, again using Flowering Flourishes

This card is in Blushing Bride, pear pizazz and vanilla with a small touch of silver glimmer card.
The front of the card base is embossed in vintage wallpaper folder, and the top right corner rounded. A strip of blushing bride paper is stamped with the word inspire (loving thoughts), heat embossed with silver powder, then taped to the lower section of the card front.
The vanilla card card has been embossed in framed tulips folder, stamped with flowering flourishes in pear ink, had the corners rounded, and the edges sponged with blushing bride.
A length of blushing bride ribbon is knotted across the lower section, which is then matted with pear card which has the corners rounded and the edges distressed.This is then attached to the card front with dimensionals.
Flowers were punched with boho blossoms punch in silver glimmer, and vanilla card, dabbed with bride ink, layered using brads, then glue dotted to the flourish. Pearls were then added to highlight the flourish.
I hope you have found some inspiration here.

The flowering flourish is stamped in pear pizazz, the butterflies (papillon potpourri) in pretty in pink, and the number and sentiment in versamark embossed with espresso powder.
The happy birthday was stamped and embossed, matted to the pink card and fixed to the card front.
The envelope is die cut using small scalloped envelope, stamped with the age,  fixed to the card front, and the flourish then stamped.
The butterflies in both sizes were stamped and punched , shaped, and attached with dimensionals. Their wings were painted with frosty white shimmer.
A small bow was fixed to the envelope.
Pearls to the front panel and flourish, and rhinestones to the butterfly bodies added the finishing touch.
A really beautiful card.

Bo Bunny Head Over Heels - Love Card

Love,

It is beautiful isn't it - where would we be without it!  I have a beautiful Easel Card to show you today.

I created this card using papers from the Bo Bunny Head Over Heels range - Boyfriend and Head Over Heels.  Tim Holtz Dies - Tattered Florals, Tattered Leaves and Elegant Flourishes have been my favourite dies of the moment - I have used them on a couple of projects lately!

I made the card with a double front layer - I offset each layer each in a different direction. Lots of Ribbon and Bling of course....

This is the inside of the card, I used an Mpress Die to cut out the fabulous heart.  Don't you just love the colours!!

Love...   Always and Forever,

Petals a plenty
Hello

A happy card today.
This card is black and tangerine. I have used colour core coordinations card, embossed in petal folder and sanded lightly back. I have rounded all corners.
The embossed panel is matted to tangerine card, and has tangerine ribbon wrapped across and knotted. This panel is then taped to the black card base.
Two flowers are die cut in foam using Blossom party die and layered together, and two leaves again in foam are die cut using Autumn accents die. These are then all fixed to the card front and a sparklet added to the flower centre.
The happy day sentiment(from Bloomin marvellous set) is stamped in tangerine onto white card  then punched with the oval punch. A tangerine scalloped oval punchout is matted behind. This is then fixed to the card front with dimensionals.
Quick and easy, but bright and effective.
Till next time-Happy crafting

Mini Album-Woodlands-Children's

Hello

Do you have photos of your children or grandchildren and would like to keep them somewhere special?
Perhaps you have a friend with a little one and are looking for a gift?
These little albums are the perfect answer. Children love to look at them as they grow, and they make a wonderful keepsake.

The album measures 21 x 14 cm and has 5 internal pages. It is bound with hinged rings to allow for easy removal of pages, and to allow room for plenty of inserts.

These first two pages have a small envelope with a folded tag to write details, and a frame with a sliding tab to add a photo insert.

The left page is for a photo and has a tag to add details. The other page has an embossed mat for a photo, tucked behind a pocket on which to write details.

The left page again has room for a photo and a stamped text box for details, and the right page has a pocket with a slide in tag for another photo or a small story, or to hold records etc.

The left page for photo or certificate also has a stamped text area, and the right page has a removable tag for details tucked behind the owl.

The right page here has an envelope for a lock of hair or other treasure, and also has a removable tag.

The final pages. The left one has a photo frame with a removable photo size template. Simply peel off, trim photo to size and then attach to frame. Template fits frame on both pages.


A lovely solution I think.
This album will be available to purchase in our store.
