Fairy Garden 6X6 Mini Album | With Shellye

We've all been there: down to the last few sheets of a 6X6 paper pad...what to do?  Today I'm sharing a Mini Album created with leftovers from the Fairy Garden Paper Pad!  The covers of the pad were even used.  Let's take a look...


This album was as easy as folding the 6X6 papers in half and adhering to each other, back-to-back.  I used a total of 7 pages in all.  Note: I did corner round all four corners of each folded paper before gluing together.  The corner rounding at the top and bottom of the fold allows rooms when tucking under the elastic strap.


For the front and back covers, I used the front and back covers of the actual 6X6 paper pad!  I trimmed the first piece down to 3X6 and the other piece down to 2.5X6; this is the spine. The 3X6 pieces were covered in a piece of 12X12 patterned paper and then corner rounded at the two right-sided corners.


The spine piece was covered in paper of the same size and scored at 1" and 1.5".  The two 1" flaps were then attached to the covers with high-tack adhesive tape.  I used a a 1/8" hole punch to make two holes and the top and bottom of the spine.  A piece of cording was strung through to create a strap for the pages. 






On the "bluebird" pages I used the Sweet Rolls Stickers to make a custom background!


Left-over strips of paper, die-cuts, stickers, sprinkles, washi tape and paper tabs were used to decorate the pages as shown! Because the pages are naturally narrow, I found it best to score the larger die-cuts at one edge and glue the edge down; allows more placement options for photos!

Thank you for joining me today!

Fairy Garden Card-Envelope Album

The new Doodlebug fairies are loving their new home tucked inside this sweet card-envelope mini album! "Fairy Garden" is filled to the brim with mushroom houses, garden critters and of course, colorful fairy girls!


 I've taken a pack of assorted cards and envelopes, a few 6X6 papers and journal cards to create the pages of this chunky little mini.  I'm happy to share a quick little YouTube video of how I put the pages together, so I hope you'll check it out!


As you can see, I've stacked and staggered the cards and envelopes by shape and color.  In between the layers of those, I've also added sheets of 6X6 papers that have been folded in half.  Also, a couple of pieces of the 3X4 journal cards that were side-by-side and then folded in half.



The envelopes were slightly modified (shown in video) by cutting the closure flap in half so that it will open on both sides of the fold. I also cut away the flaps on a few of the envelopes.  Fill the pockets with tags and journal cards!



The pages were embellished with die-cuts, washi tapes, stickers, sprinkles and more!






For the longer journal cards, I folded them in half and then used a cute clip to hold it closed.  Leftover strips of paper were turned into tabs that I added to some of the smaller pages.  I love all of the staggers of colors and patterns popping out as you move throughout the album!

Again, I have a pretty short video on how I started with this album and a bit of the process of putting it together: YouTube Video.  I hope you'll give it a try!

Hippity Hoppity Chick Album

 Mini albums are perfect for Easter basket stuffers.  Whether it's for the bigs or littles, moms or grandmas, this little album is sure to be a hit!  Today I'm sharing a chick shaped album featuring the "Hippity Hoppity" Collection

I started with a wooden package of chick ornaments that I purchased from The Dollar Tree!

There are a total of eight 4"X3" wooden shapes in the pack; I painted both sides of each yellow.

I traced the shape onto one of the 6X6 paper pad papers and trimmed out. I used mod podge to apply the paper and seal.  Next I embellished with a Doodle Pop and a few stickers!





Using the 2.25" circle portion of the Nesting Scallops Dies, I cut various circles of paper to use as photo mats.  The pages were lightly embellished with stickers, mini icon stickers, enamels, small Doodle Pops, etc.








The completed pages were combined together with a 1.5" ring and a matching piece of gingham ribbon tied on!  This would also be a fun project for the kids to make a page for mom or grandma...a sweet Easter brag book keepsake!

Thanks for joining!

Easter Egg Chacuterie

 Looking for an eggstra-special craft for the kids or grandkids? Let them make their own Easter Egg Charcuterie Board! 

Stamp and die-cut the sweet images from the Hippity Hoppity Doodle Stamps & Cuts and let the littles color the images in!  I've taken the finished images (colored with Copic Markers) and attached them to paper bands to create little egg holders:



As you can see, I stamped the various "motorized" bunnies, colored and die-cut.  I embellished them further with little patches of grass and flowers (also stamped, colored and die-cut).  

The paper strips were cut from various patterned papers to measure 6"X1.5" and then adhered the ends together to make a 1.5" diameter ring.  The bunnies were then lined up with the bottom of the paper rings and attached.  I filled with paper shred and plastic eggs.


I placed the finished egg holders on a covered egg-shaped piece of wood that I purchased from Dollar General.  I traced the shape onto patterned paper, cut out and then Mod Podged to the wood.  Using the Mod Podge allows a nice seal if you want to add candies or other things that may damage an unsealed paper.  Next, I trimmed the edge of the wood with a wrapping of chunky twine!

 

I wanted to add some height to the back of the tray, so I painted two mini spools, inserted paper straws and then attached the cute die cut! Add more character and sprinkle candy eggs between the traffic of bunnies :)
