The multiple envelopes and sleeve options that the newest cartridge has made it possible for me to make another mini album, this time with a Parisian summer theme. One could only wish for that season in a beautiful and romantic city when it's dreary and cold everywhere else, right? :-D
I used the neutral background and textures (B&T) paper from Yuletide Carol, and cardstock in Black and Champagne. I inked the edges of the Yuletide Carol paper and Champagne cardstock in Desert Sand. To add a touch of glam to the mini, I used Sequins Gold Assortment, Gold Shimmer Trim, Gold Polka-Dot Washi Tape, and Bling Gems Gold Assortment.
This accordion mini album was simply two 5"x7" cards taped together using the Gold Polka-Dot Washi Tape. What I love about this type of album is that you can keep on adding pages to it. :-)

Pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. I love how many images from Artfully Sent you were able to get in one album. Inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Love how you used the B&T paper and so many images from Artfully Sent!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use the new cartridge. I'm curious if you have tried to make a card with the Parisian lady. The one I made wasn't very stable even with CTMH card stock. Looking for suggestions!
ReplyDeleteCheryl, instead of making the Parisian lady cutout as a front flap, I adhered it to the card base, so it will be more of a mini album front rather than a traditional card.
DeleteIf I were to make it into a card, I would cut out a separate acetate sheet as a backing, glue it on with Liquid Glass, and you're all set. You can still see the background, and yet the front will not tear easily. That's what I did with the pockets, so the cutouts will not tear when I take pictures/journaling spots in and out.
