Mini Envelope Album

On Line Class Wednesday 13th May 


The top photo shows the completed album closed. I've used the Free as a bird stamp set and co-ordinating bird ballad papers. 
The photos below show the open album and pages although I have not yet completely finished decorating this as I haven't decided who is it for and what photos and momentos I will add. 
 







What you need to complete the project ( all supplied for those who pre purchased kits from me) 

3 envelopes 5.25 x 5 .25 inches 
selection of matching cardstock to cover envelope base 6 pieces at 5 inch x 5 inch 
3 whisper white inserts cut to 4.75 x 4.75 inches 
2 matching pieces of patterned paper cut at 2 inches x 5.25 inches ( these are to cover both sides of the envelope flap that becomes the closure 

matching papers, stamps, ribbon for your choice of embellishment. 

1) Score each envelope 3.8 inch above the fold line 



2) Apply glue as shown in photo and stick the flap underneath the next envelope. Make sure you leave the 3/8 inch area free as this forms the spine of your album. 



3) Add the cardstock to the front and back of each envelope. The photo below shows you where to add glue so that you can put the insert in the envelope.  For pieces where there will be an insert punch or cut  a semi circle or other shape to allow you to easily access the insert. 

4) Cover the front flap. Trim the envelope flap to 1.75 inches and the glue one piece of patterned paper to the back of the flap and one to the front. (again make sure you leave the 3/8 inch spine free) 




5) Have fun and decorate .

More Bears !

EMBOSSED BABY BEAR This is clearly my favourite stamp set at the moment and I have been trying out lots of different colour combinations and techniques. Here are the finished cards and underneath I have done a step by step photo guide - which is a first for me. The bear is stamped in smoky slate and dapper denim, sponged in marina mist.  Bear is stamped in soft suede and early espresso and sponged with peekaboo peach. Here are my supplies all laid out First I stamped image no 2 of the stamp set on whisper white in pink pirouette. Remember to use your piercing mat or other foam pad underneath any photopolymer stamp sets so you get a good image. Then I stamped image no 3 of the set with melon mambo. It does take a bit of practice to line the stamps up so practice a few times first on scrap paper. I find it best to make sure the bear's bottom and the gap between arms and body are lined up. Then finally use image no 1 and versamark to stamp
