Lucky Dog Envelope Flip Book Mini with Video

Hello there and happy Tuesday! I hope you are all doing well : )  I’ve got a fun project share for you today. I’ve created an envelope flip book  just perfect for a for a favorite furry friend.

If you love plaids and florals and polka dots….the Raining Cats and Dogs collection from Graphic 45 is chock full of them.

I’ve added a pretty little chipboard frame from GSL to anchor the focal image.

There’s also a lovely selection of coordinating flowers, vintage buttons, a fun metal clip, and ribbon trim in a fabby plaid.

The inside pages have more of the paper patterns layered with pockets, pull outs, and tags.  There’s a schneaky chipboard tab top also for accent.

The little booklet and pull outs provide loads of space to add pictures and journaling.

This collection has sweet little die cuts too so I used them to add interest to the pockets and tag.

I mean….you can never go wrong with plaids right? I have used them in abundance….making sure to mat them with a sold color to keep the arrangement from getting too busy.

Tips ins added to the pages create  fun interactive element to minis and they also add valuable real estate.

Please enjoy this short video flip through…..

Vintage Valentine Wall Hanging with Video

Hello there friends! Happy Sunday to all of you. I’m so thrilled to say now that it’s officially February I can throw myself into Valentine projects with reckless abandon.

For today’s project I created a very vintagy inspired wall hanging…..

 

Isn’t it just loverly? So many layers!!!!!!

I’ve layered the chipboard.

I’ve even layered the bows.

And topped it all off with layered flowers.

But not even I am expert enough to layer pearls : (

You Warm My Heart Llama Mini Album with Authentique

Well hello there Peeps and happy Llama Day! Hahah . I’m sharing a super sweet mini album I created with Alpine by Authentiqe and let me tell you how much I love this collection!!! Llamas and plaid. What’s not to love?

Awwwww look at that sweet llama.  The image is the inspiration for this album. It’s layered up with the patterned papers, die cuts, flowers, ribbon, twine, chipboard, sequins, pearls, and fun winter themed charms.

The images here are the cut aparts and they are so fun. I wanted to keep the whole image and still have room for pictures and journaling so I added them as tip-ins.

Once the tip-ins are folded out you can see the first pages also have pockets with large tags.

These pages also have pockets but they’re on the sides. More tags to pull out created with the companion patters. I wanted to use this sledding image here but it was too wide. The solution  was to clip it into 2 sections then add it as two pieces. I love how it turned out!

It’s so much fun to create interactive pages. These have twist tie closures. You can see here now that we’re in the middle pages that I’ve added eyelets to the spine. Not only does this give me a place to tie on the charms….but it helps the book pages to be nicely  secured.

Once the flaps are open it shows the complimentary patterns inside. What a great place for pictures and journaling.

I just can’t get enough of these fun images so I used them to create pockets for more pull out tags. The smaller matted sections would be a great place to add memories.

 

The last set of pages have fun little flaps secured with clips. Simply flip the flap to reveal more area to scrapbook in.

Lining them with coordinating papers makes them extra fun.

Larger tags are tucked into the pockets and also fold up so you can add even more pictures.

Please enjoy this video flip through I’ve prepared for this super sweet mini album….

Thinking of You Greeting Card

Happy first of the month Peeps. You know what that means. The all new Ribbon Club Assortment comes out today hooray!!!!!

I’m so happy to see this bright fresh combination because I’m getting in the mood for Spring and these are just perfect!

 

I’m using the gorgeous purple from the collection to accent this card.

It coordinates so perfectly with the flowers.

The Burlap String in violet adds a lovely texture to this arrangement.

I’ve added some foliage die cut from crisp white paper to lighten up the flower collection.

Altered chipboard and sequins adds loads of depth and dimension.

Last but not least some purpley Prills for the final accent.

Valentine Pocket with Tag / Video Tutorial

Happy Thursday Peeps!  It’s officially February now so it’s okay that I’m a little crazy about Valentines.  Like I would have my entire house draped in hearts and flowers and treats everywhere. Sadly I live in the house of boys so they would not appreciate balloons and confetti everywhere right?

I can however create pockets and fill them with sweet little tags…..

 Isn’t this super retrolicious?????? This is the Forever My Always Collection from Pebbles.

 Even without the tags it’s pretty dang cute. Anddddd there’s room in the pocket for treats!

Coordinating tags to fill the pocket. I love tags. Like a lot.

Shabby Chic Valentine Cherub Cards and Tag with Video Tutorial

Hello there Peeps! I’m happy to announce that we have a bit of a warm up here in Michigan. This morning it’s 52 degrees. This does good things for my disposition. I was in such a better mood that I was inspired to throw myself into Valentine projects.

I printed myself a copy of the Valentine Post Cards and Tags Digital Collage Sheet from our shop and created 3 very shabby and vintagy projects.

This card has a very untraditional color scheme. I coordinated the papers to the wrap on the cherub. Altered chipboard, flowers, twine, sequins, and metal embellishments are the perfect accents.

A sweet and simple tag has soft colors and vintagy finishing touches. Using spacers between the layers build depth and interest.

The cherub tag on this card inspired the peachy pink colors from the paper patterns.  Stickles added sparingly brings out the details on the vintagy image. I layered die cuts here and a rather generously sized flower arrangement.

Please enjoy this video tutorial I’ve created for this card…..
