Business Card Mini Album
Happy Friday!
Today I'm sharing a trash-to-treasure mini album idea.
My husband was going to trash his old business card holder,
but he gave it to me to see what I could do with it.
So I re-purposed it to a "Winter Business Card Mini Album"
I've used the Snow & Cocoa collection from Crate Paper and lots of adhesives
from Scrapbook Adhesives:
For the business card holder that I have, you can find ones online.
Mine includes 12 individual clear pages with three slots for cards on a page.
To begin, I cut enough base papers to fill each of the card slots.
I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill to attach two
(non-double-sided papers) back-to-back.
For the front cover of the binder, I wanted a good secure hold for the cover
paper so I chose the Adhesive Sheets 6 x12 inch for attaching my patterned paper.
Afterward, I decorated the front with die-cut elements using
the 3D Foam Circles White Mix. To create glittery snow drops, a combination
of Adhesive Dots Small and Adhesive Dots Medium were used by
simply adding clear glitter on top.
The Extreme Double-Sided Tapes worked best for attaching
any of the embellishments to the top of the plastic.
I also used the Adhesive Dots Small for adding the buttons throughout the album.
Below are the remaining pages of the album:
Basically, I left one section available for a photo and filled the other 2/3 of the
I will think of this little mini as a place to store pieces for my planner,
stamps, gift cards, small photos, etc!
I love finding interesting things to create mini albums from...if you
have any ideas, please share :)
Have a great weekend!

Don't trash it, treasure it!

AUTHENTIQUE PAPER
with an altered ceiling medallion that once hung around a light fixture.
My sweet hubby brought this home to me all dirty and bright yellow...
but I was excited at the challenge to alter it nonetheless :)

After washing away the grime, I decided to give it a coat of turquoise paint.
Because it was painted bright yellow, I gave it a covering with gesso (or use any primer)
first and then painted with a sponge brush and plain 'ole Plaid paint.

The opening at the center is roughly 6" in diameter and I knew that I wanted to
add some sort of sentiment to it with a cluster of flowers around the opening.
A 6" piece of chipboard fits perfectly inside, so I used it as the base for adding
the patterned paper and journal card to.

edge and also trimmed it in an off-white pom pom trim.

The blooms of flowers were simply a compilation of Radiant's 6X6 paper
and flower punch by McGill. I punched several patterns of the same flower shape
and gave them shape by using a stylus and molding pad.

Some of the flowers' petals are rolled downward (yellow) and the blue flowers
were molded at the center so that the petals lifted upward. I stacked various pieces
together with foam adhesive and then secured around the opening of the ceiling tile.

I used the basic butterfly shape found in my electronic die-cutting files and cut a large
and small piece from 6X6 sheets of Radiant paper. Before layering together, I
embossed the smaller shapes with a polka dot pattern.
And every flower needs a petal! I found these in my stash from Petaloo...they
look awesome tucked in amongst the blooms and gave the project a totally different look!
