Mini Album Monday: Exploding Envelope

| exploding envelope, Graphic 45, Heart Broken Designs, reverse mini album

Hi Everyone!

Today’s Mini Album Monday is an Exploding Envelope or Reverse Mini Album! The inspiration for this project was a challenge that Ana over at Lace Boutique 1 on YouTube is doing.

This Exploding Envelope/Reverse Mini Album is so cute. I love how the pages are not attached like in a regular mini album and there is so much room! I am sure I will stuff it even more once I start adding pictures and journaling!

The paper I used was the Couture Collection from Graphic 45 and it is just gorgeous. The size is 6 1/2 by 8 1/2 and there are 5 tags and two envelopes.

Mother’s Day Cards with La Vie En Rose Scrapbooking Kit

| CTMH, greeting card, La Vie En Rose, mother's day, Z-card

Hi Everyone,

Today’s project share are two Mother’s Day cards that I created with the La Vie En Rose Scrapbooking Kit. The stamp I used was My Mother.

I really love this scrabooking kit. The paper is gorgeous and very versatile plus it comes with a bunch of goodies.

20160406_125103359_ios
 
My first card is a Z card and is 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 inches when closed and a full 15 inches when open. 

I used the “Mum” my Mother Stamp but there is also a “Mom” stamp as well. I added some La Vie En Rose Flair on the front as well as a little black with gold ribbon.

The side of the card shows how dimensional it is and because it folds up so nicely and flat it is easy to mail. 
 
I added a stamped message on the inside but there is additional space on the inside for a special message or even to add a picture.

The second card I created is an A2 size card (4 in x 5 1/2).

This time on the front I created a bit of interest by using the designer paper in a different way by matting each strip. I also added the little gold hearts that are so cute.

I left the inside blank on this card so there is lots of room for a special message. 

I hope you enjoyed my project & thanks for stopping by!

Craft Your Passion Design Team Project- Blushing Bride Card

| Alicia Bel, Close To My Heart, craft your passion, Heart Broken Designs

Hi Everyone!

Today’s project share is my Design Team project for Craft Your Passion Challenge #308. 

Our sponsor this week is Alicia Bel and the image I selected was Emily (Zombie). 

This is my Blushing Bride Card! 

20160417_144337476_ios

I love this image! I didn’t color her up like a zombie even though I love zombie movies…but I am going to be coloring her up like a zombie the next time I use this image. The image is great and reminds me of a Tim Burton movie. 

20160417_144416961_ios

The paper collection I used was DCWV Happy Day stack. I colored the image with my Spectrum Noirs and added lace, doily, fabric covered buttons and a small bow for embellishment. 
20160417_144409890_ios

 
I did pop dot both my image and the second layer for more dimension. And of course I added some Wink of Stella and stickles for bling. 
 
The card is 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches and I left the inside blank so lots of room for a message.

Mini Album Monday- Wallet Mini Album

| Uncategorized

Hi Everyone!

SO excited to be back with Mini Album Monday!! Today’s mini is a 4 1/2 by 6 1/2 wallet mini album.

This mini would make a great gift especially if you fill it with pictures and memories. 

The paper I used is the CTMH Charlotte Workshops Your Way Kit. These are actually the remaining pieces I had after I created another mini album. 


I love this paper pack and am going to get one more before the new catalog comes out on 5/1. You need to get one also. This paper and the embellishments that come with it in Workshops Your Way are fantastic. I have made 2 mini albums and a few cards with it. 

This mini even though it is small has 4 spaces for 4×6 photos and 4 spaces for 3×4 photos. It is adorable!

Here is a video that will show you more of this wallet mini:
