Chevron Mini Album

Last Saturday, today and next Saturday, I'm showing you mini album creations!

All of the background papers for this mini are from 
Stampin' Up "Retro Fresh" 12x12 paper pack (clearance section).

I used Lori Whitlock's Chevron Mini Album SVG cut file from the Silhouette Online Store. 

Every page has a place for photos except the front and back covers.
This mini is for my son and his family. 







I used SVG cuts and Print & Cut feature on my Cameo.
All files from either
Miss Kate Cuttables
or
Lettering Delights
Except for sun - it's from Cricut's Doodlecharm cartridge.

This project is being linked up with Just Because Linky Party (anything goes), Alphabet Ch (W - whatever you wish), Blogger's Ch (holiday gifts), and Brown Sugar (anything goes).

Thanks for stopping by today!

4" x 5" Accordion Mini Album (Lori Whitlock cut file)

Friday! Who's off of work today? We are trying to get all the flooring finished today before all of the Lewis Family comes over for a Christmas gathering tomorrow. What are you up to?

 I made a mini album earlier this week that I'm excited to show you today. It's the 4" x 5" Accordion Mini by Lori Whitlock. You can get this file in the Sihouette Online Store. Make sure you add BOTH files to your shopping cart. One is just the outside and inside pages. The second file is the fold over cover and inside insert pages.

First File
Second File

To watch a video tutorial by Lori Whitlock for assembling this mini, click HERE.

 Here's my completed mini!

Pattern papers from DCWV "Fiesta Forever" stack
Stampin' Up Tulle (clearance section)
Flowers from stash
Martha Stewart double loop border punch
Magnet closure from the Royal Castle Shoppe


Each page has 2 tags - a white small one and a kraft larger one.
Tags from Miss Kate Cuttables "Tags & Backgrounds"


The Stampin' Up Tulle (clearance section) easily slipped around the binding.


Here's an example of what the pages look like.
I added a small strip of paper at the bottom and only adhered it on the sides and bottom for a tag pocket.
I thought at first I'd put the months on each page and write out birthdays on the tags for that month, but decided instead to leave it blank so the recipient can customize this the way they would like.

This project entered in Anything But A Card Ch (anything goes), Just Because Linky Party (anything goes), Use Your Stuff (ribbon), and Crafting By Design (new - new mini album cut file & new paper pack).

Action Wobble Moose Card

To see my Reindeer Door Hanger (3rd in the Door Hanger Series)... click HERE

 Happy Hump Day!

 The card I want to show you today was inspired by Gwen @ This & That.

 This fun card uses a Scallop Card Base from SVG Cutting Files. When I purchased and opened the cut file, I noticed a black circle included. What was that for? I had to ask Gwen, and she kindly responded. It's for resizing your cut files. You just resize the group of cut files so that the circle is 1". That way you'll know your card will be A2 size. How smart is that? The cut file for the layering pieces for this card also has the black circle for sizing. Very smart. Of course I didn't know that when I was making my card. I just cut it the way it landed on my mat. My card measures 6 7/8" x 5 3/8". I'll be sticking this cutie in a padded envelope with some other goodies for a special friend, so the size was no problem at all for me.

 Here's my card:

This ADORABLE Moose is also from SVG Cutting Files. He's attached with an Action Wobble from The Scrapbooking Queen's Royal Castle Shoppe. He wiggles back and forth like he's enjoying a fun ride or something. LOL


LOVE this tag! The tag base is from "Tags & Backgrounds" at Miss Kate Cuttables. Inked around the edges with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress ink. Stamped with "Sahara Sand" ink by Stampin' Up with a SU sentiment from "A Dozen Thoughts." Tulle is "Crumb Cake" also by SU. All of the decorative papers are also from SU.

Shop Stampin' Up with me HERE.


I adhered the fold over flap on both sides with 1/4" Score Tape also from the Scrapbooking Queen's Royal Castle Shoppe. Holly Leaves is a Martha Stewart punch. Buttons from the Royal Castle Shoppe. I stuck some Action Wobbles in the pocket also from the Royal Castle Shoppe. 

Easy, fast, and giggle inducing card. Time to get it in the package and off in the mail to someone special!

Enjoy the rest of your Hump Day, and thanks for stopping by! Don't forget, starting January 7th, I'll be hosting linking parties here on my blog in the LINKY PARTY page tab. Come back and link up your crafty projects of any kind that fits our theme. New Linky Party every other Tuesday. We can't wait to get started!! And if you've read my post all the way to the end here, then I'll give you a secret head's up... the first linky party is going to be Balloons. Shhhhh...... Now you have plenty of time to get working on your project for our first linky party!

Bracket Mini Album

Today and the next 2 Saturdays, I'll be showing you mini album creations!


I had so much fun making that Camera Gift Tag for yesterday, that I decided to make a mini album using more of the paper and stickers from that same Echo Park "Oh Snap" collection. Love this collection!
A couple of the papers came from Simple Stories 6x6 pads.

I used Lori Whitlock's Bracket Mini Album SVG cut file from the Silhouette Online Store. 

Here's my album. I wish I could have figured out how to take better pictures. I think I need to get one of those photo stands or something.

Every page has a place for photos except the front and back covers.

Paper Pack, Stickers, Dew Drops, and Buttons all came from 
The Scrapbooking Queen's Royal Castle Shoppe (Facebook store).

Washi Tape and Tulle from Stampin' Up.







This project is being linked up with Just Because Linky Party (anything goes).

Dew Drops from The Royal Castle Shoppe (Facebook store)

Santa's Workshop Door Sign

Since we are having all of our kids and grandkids over for Christmas, I thought it would be a good idea to make a SANTA'S WORKSHOP sign for my craft room door so that we can hide presents in there until we place them all out under the tree for the family gathering.  I had a lot of fun making this! It's huge! I know you can't tell from the photo, but it's about 14" x 14". Love it!


Stampin' Up supplies:
various cardstock shades
Santa's List stamp set for the sentiment which says, "He's making a list and checking it twice.... hope you're nice."
Rhinestone Basic Jewels in snowflake centers


Non-SU supplies:
dew drops

Craft It Up & Link It Up!

Happy Monday! Craftin Desert Divas' Craft It Up & Link It Up Linky Party is in full swing! Welcome to week 2. The party theme is TAG YOU'RE IT. The sponsors for this party are Too Cute by Jessica ($20 gift card) and Cardz TV Stamps (one stamp set).

Here's my TAG YOU'RE IT project to inspire you to come play along and LINK IT UP!


This was inspired by a YouTube video by Darlene DeVries.

Stampin' Up Stamp sets:
Gorgeous Grunge (snowfall)

Stampin' Up Cardstock:

Stampin' Up Ink:

Other Stampin' Up items used:


Non-SU products used:
Tim Holtz Wild Honey Distress Ink
Red Sharpie for tree ornaments
Velvet ribbon from stash
Crop-a-dile to punch hole for ribbon
Spellbinders Wonky Rectangles for tag shape

First I cut out the tag shape and stamped the tree. Then I stamped the snowflakes inked with VersaMark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. After that I used the Wild Honey distress ink to ink a nighttime glow around the tag not getting too close to the tree to give it a highlighted affect. Added the SVG JOY word with my 2-Way Glue Pen and put the velvet ribbon on the top. LOVE IT!


Thanks for stopping by today! :) Janis
