My Book Stack Project – Filled up!

Hey guys! It’s been a while, but I’m still here 😎. In fact, I’m working on a brand new steampunk-themed mini album – sneak peek in the video below!

Meanwhile, I’m sharing this book stack project of mine, which I filled up with some pictures but mostly pieces of journalling, that I edited and then printed myself.

Hopefully this gives you some new ideas, or at least inspires you to keep trying new things! πŸ™‚ If you’d like to create this particular project yourself, check out Tutorial #43 in my shop. It consists of a 3-part tutorial set, namely a separate tutorial for each part of the project: the boxes, the folio album and the booklets.

Enjoy your summer (it’s raining here πŸ™„) – and the video!

Bella Rouge Mini Album Book Stack

This week I’m sharing a new design, consisting of three parts. It’s a little book stack, consisting not of books but of two handmade chipboard boxes, filled with a mini folio and three mini booklets respectively. The technique I used to create the boxes is different from my usual way of making them, so there’s something new there as well for everyone who already purchased my other box tutorial.

And since I just had my birthday, I’m offering all three of these projects as one tutorial set, so a buy-3-pay-only-1 kind of thing! πŸ™‚

The papers and flowers I worked with are from Prima Marketing’s Bella Rouge collection. I wanted to design a project specifically suited for 4×6″ journalling cards / project life cards, to offer you all a somewhat more affordable option since these cards tend to be not as expensive as actual paper pads. And I succeeded wonderfully well!

So enjoy the video and pictures below, and go for the tutorial set if you’d like to make it yourself.

If you’d like an idea of how this would look when filled with pictures and journalling, check out this post!

December Deluge 2: A 1-sheet Micro Wallet

This December month I’ll post many projects on my blog, to give you some inspiration and ideas for your Christmas projects – and also to help you spend your holiday time creatively. In my previous post I showed you a quick Christmas Mini Album. Today: Part 2 of this December Deluge of creative ideas πŸ™‚

There’s a particular 1-sheet mini photo wallet of which I’ve created several by now. It’s created from only one sheet of double-sided 12×12″ design paper, and it  looks something like this:

If you click on the picture, it will link to my free video tutorial for that kind of mini wallet.

This week I’m showing you a new micro version of this design, created with a 6×6″ sheet of paper! So cute! They measure only 2β…œ” (6 cm) and can hold little pictures, or you could write little notelets with personalized messages, as I have.

These are quick to make and would make great alternatives for your standard Christmas present tags πŸ™‚

A cute little all occasions photo booklet

This little booklet is a cute alternative for a card: you can add little tags to write a personal message, and even add some photos or other nice pictures. So, Happy Birthday, or Happy Any Other Occasion! πŸ™‚ It’s also a great alternative for using your scraps – next to, for instance, making scrap mats or other kinds ofΒ scrap decorations.

Of course you can make your own little booklet quite easily, feel free to come and get some inspiration from my tutorial for mini booklets if you’ve never made one yourself.

Anyway, here’s the video – P.S.: don’t forget to hit the like button underneath it! πŸ˜‰

Cute birthday booklet

Although at the moment designing and creating mini albums, cards and altered objects are my main focus when it comes to paper crafting, I really like the occasional mini (or even micro) booklet as well. This one for instance, with its 1 5/8 x 2 1/4 inches (4,3×5,7 cm)Β is the tiniest I’ve created yet. And it still has pockets & tags! πŸ™‚

I used Madeline design paper by Prima Marketing, the same as with myΒ Madeline cinch mini. This would also make it a great companion piece to this mini, for instance as an alternative birthday card.

So please enjoy the two-minute video!

 

By the way, in the video I refer toΒ my Bohemian Bazaar mini booklet – which you van check out in more detail in my blogpost on the Bohemian Bazaar mini album.

How to make a micro booklet

The more I’m getting the hang of scrapbooking techniques, the more I’ve noticed that I really like designing and creating mini booklets. The tinier the better! They’re not just fun extras in your mini albums, they also make great alternative birthday cards! πŸ™‚

I’m giving you a little “behind the scenes” action for one of my latest micro booklet birthday cardsΒ in the video below (click here if you don’t see it). This one I created for a guy, so there’s an extra bonus “gift idea for a guy” for you πŸ˜‰

I particularly like how it perfectly fits in one of the drawers of the altered drawer box I showed you in one of my previous posts, turning it into a perfect companion piece to go with it – especially since I used the same Graphic 45 design paper stack!

Cute summer booklet

Here’s a cute little booklet of my own design, in the bright summer colours of Uptown Flair design paper by The Paper Studio.
Useable as a gift card holder, or simply as a card holder just like I’m doing here, just using the entire thing as a birthday card.

No distressing this time, just a few embellishments without overdoing it.
