Scallop Album for Hanna

Scallop hybrid chipboard and acetate album from Creative Cuts and More

I used the Dear Lizzy line of paper and Embellishments for this book
a fun and cheerful line of paper perfect for my dear Hanna.

 

Jars are on the acetate pages between each of the chip pages in the book

Sorry there is a slight glare on some of the acetate pages

 

Hope you enjoyed the book!

Loves,

Dianne

Creative Sea Life Album

Creative Cuts and more has some great albums. This project was actually a kit called Sea Life Mini Album. I used Killer Red Tacky Tape to construct my album.

 

The front with an Acetate cover.

There were so many fun die cut shapes and stickers to start decorating with.

 

 One of the extra pages I wanted to share. I chose to make an accordion pop out so I could add little pictures that would fit nicely here.It was made with the card stock included in the kit.

 Pg 1 & 2                              page 3 & 4

There were so many products in this kit: gems,stickers,die cut shapes,pockets, and tags to name a few.

Some items I added to my kit was this sticky mesh, some twine, and ribbon. Page 4 is a small page I made with some of the card stock and designer paper.

 Page 5&6                                  Page 7& 8 

Page 5 is the back of the extra made page. Pages 6 & 7 are an Acetate page. It was hard to share a good picture that would show the acetate.. My favorite page in this album is page 8,I placed a Magnolia image I colored  and also made a shaker with the cup from Stampin Up. I used a sticker to show thru the window and added some glitter.

Many of the die cuts were added with pop dots-I always love  dimension.

 Page 9 & 10                                        Page 11& 12

The clam shapes were so exciting to use-There made out of a 

Pearlescent Swirlette Cardstock.

I added pop dots and curved them-they look so realistic.

Pages 10 & 11 are Acetate...I chose to mirror the waves and fish on each side.

Page 12 is another page I made on my own from the paper included. The envelope has a star fish I added glitter to.

 Page 13 & 14     Back Page

The Acetate  Cover protects that page and embellishments.
Page 13 is the backside and I added grommets and twine. Page 14 I added some Really Reasonable leaf vine.
I really love the last page because those pockets are perfect for pictures and the tags for journaling.

Well, that is my full album from the Creative Cuts and More store.Sea Life Mini Album is a great project to work on.You might also be happy to know I had much product left over for some other projects.

Vintage Wedding Mini Album ~ Lots of Pics!!

Hi everyone!! Fern here and I want to share with you this Vintage Wedding Mini Album that I made using Creative Cuts & More 6" x 6" Chipboard Album Covers. Added some Tags and Pockets, but will get to those a little later, and bound it together with album rings. Oh, and don't forget some Killer Red Tacky Tape , or if you prefer the Killer White Tear-able Tacky Tape.. It's a must have to put these together...

Okay, I have a lot to show you, so sit back and get ready to be inspired!!! :o)

Here is my front cover... The paper I used is Ella Blue g . c . d . studios and it's an 8" by 8" (48 sheet) paper stack.. I love the colors of this and it's perfect for my wedding photos... Oh, I forgot to tell you, this is "MY" wedding album... Yep, the photos are of me and my husband back in 1977.. so don't laugh!!!

I've made 3 or 4 of these albums and given them away, I wanted to make one for me and I wanted it to be special and something I can hand down after we are gone..

Here we have (2) Tag #04 in Chocolately Chip - SU Smooth. I embossed these with my cuttlebug. You can also order these with a layer of a different color...

Here I used (3) Tag Card (in Espresso Brown - SU Smooth) with Two Tags (in Blueberry Pie - Bazzill Smoothies) I embossed the top layer with my cuttlebug embossing folder and attached all three together.. The back of the first one to the front of another one.. the back of the second one with the front of the third one... Before I attached them together I added lace between the layers.. and then just attached the last one to my album... Added the layers and then my photos..

Notice the pearl knob on top.. this unscrews and lets the pages drop down... see next photos...

Knob unscrewed..

This is the first Tag Card with layers...

Second Tag Card with Layers

And this is the third or last Tag Card with Layers...

This is a 6" x 6" acetate page. I covered it with a Hambly Screen Print and then I attached the Slash Pocket with Tag #05 Pocket is in Chocolately Chip -SU Smooth and the tag is in Powder Blue - Bazzill Canvas. I also embossed the front of this with my cuttlebug embossing folder...

Here is the tag pulled out... I did a lot of distressing on this album and tags with Tim Holtz Distressing Inks..

The back side of the tag..

The back side of the acetate page is identical as the front.. The Slash Pocket with Tag #05 Pocket is in Chocolately Chip -SU Smooth and the tag is in Powder Blue - Bazzill Canvas. I also embossed the front of this with my cuttlebug embossing folder...

Tag pulled out...

Back side of the tag...

Miscellaneous bling and embellies...

Here is a chipboard pull out...

Back side of chipboard...

Here I made a small flip up held down with the paper clip fastened on top...

Here is the back side of the flip up page... Me and My Dad!!!

Page under the flip up page... This is also a pocket page... If you look closely under the paper clip you can see a tag... I have not journaled on this yet, but I will put some personal family history on it so when this little mini passes down through the years, it won't be a mystery!!! Something I wished my Grandmother would have done for me....

Used a lot of lace on this page, some flowers and bling... Also if you untie the bow you can lift this up and see more photos...

Just so you know.. the reason I am looking at my dear sweet husband like I am, is because I gave him strict orders he better not smash the cake in my face.... And as you can see he didn't!!!! :o)

More embellies and bling...

And here is the last page... Added some flowers, doily, feather, and bling!

Now here on the back, I am going to sign it and date it in my own handwriting, even though I don't like my handwriting. Years from now I think it will mean a lot if I do that....

Well, that's all I got for you today!!!

I hope I've inspired you just a little to go check out the goodies over at Creative Cuts & More!! If you do want to make a mini album, I found it easier for me to find the papers I want to use first. When you've done that just sit down with your paper and shop away... And don't forget to get some Killer Red Tacky Tape or Killer White Tear-able Tacky Tape and some Album Rings!!!

Be sure and check back tomorrow to see more inspiration from the Die Cut Divas!!

Have a wonderful day!!!

Hugs!!!

A Sweet 16 Album, Part 1

Hello!

A couple of weeks ago, Terry asked me to design a Birthday mini-album using ANY of the album dies from CC&M as long as it was in acetate! I like working with acetate, but it can be tricky - having to think of what can be seen into the next layer & the placement of your adhesive can drive you mad when planning a page!! But I was up for the challenge! (I may have taken it in a little bit of a different direction that she might have expected though!!)

Today, I am just teasing you with the cover! You will have to check back in a couple of weeks (October 21st to be exact!) in my next Creative Cuts & More post to see more!

Sweet 16 Banner Album

You've heard the saying "a Banner Year?" Well, why not a "Banner Album?" I picked the Banner/Pennant die to work with for this album, but, suprise, surprise - I thought outside of the box & it doesn't open up to a banner! (You'll begin to see just what I mean on the 21st!) Also, sorry about the lighting in the above pix - tried both natural & lamp-lit. Neither really does it justice!

I had 2 cupcakes to work with, so I cut one up & embossed the lower part; Glimmer Misted the top to look like chocolate & gave the candle a little more depth & a glittery flame. Then I stickled here & there on the frosting to add more dimension. (The shopping bag (up on CC&M soon) on the next layer is showing through, but looks like part of the cover!)

The cover without all the layers behind

Above that is a balloon that I Glimmered with a couple layers of color to achieve the funky orange & stickled the 16 on there free-hand.

The top of the banner is just 8x8 patterned paper from DCWV trimmed to size with the word "Sweet" stamped on it in the same hot pink I used on the cupcake. I added some other clear embellishments from my stash (super old Heidi Swapp hearts!) & some great seem binding for the balloon string.

Everything else you see, is on the layers behind the cover! So much fun & quite the mystery as to what you might find on the other pages! Don't be afraid of acetate! Just let your imagination go wild & layer away!! It was really quite fun to pull together!!

And remember, Creative Cuts & More has over 100 new dies,

available in all sorts of colors & several materials! If you are ordering an album, you can get as many pages as you want in all sorts of shapes & sizes too!!

See you soon!
