Creating mini albums is something I enjoy. Unlike big scrapbooks it's almost instant gratification. This sneak peek shows detailed views of the cover of a baby girl mini album I was commissioned to make.
It incorporates old and new techniques. I brought my crop-a-dile out of the closet and used a new Tim Holtz swivel clasp. I even found some embellishments from a Tim Holtz class I took 4 years ago.
This is one of my new cards using the Stampin Up goodies I received.
In this card I used one of the stamps from the She's All That stamp set. Again I used Purely Pomegranate in the cardstock and I discovered the versatility of the SU die cut blooms. If you look at that corner i used one of the blue flowers and folded it to mimic the flowers in the bride's bouquet. It took a little trial and error but i slit each pedal down the middle, folded the flower and hooked it on the edge of the card. To give it a more realistic look i took a green mini flower from the same die cut blooms to look like the base of the flower. I added a Prima flower and a doodlebug jewel for the BLING factor. The patterned paper I chose was the Au Chocolat Designer Series Paper by Stampin'Up. I love love love double sided patterned paper and the fact that it's chocolate color is an extra bonus. The satin ribbon I found in the Michaels $1 bin (I'm a big bargain hunter, LOL!).
