Looking for a fun and simple papercraft project? These micro mini albums are gorgeous and perfect for holding small photos or journaling! Each handmade mini-book features 10 interactive pages, including the inside front and back covers.

To make the most of my designer series paper (DSP), I’ve only decorated the covers since most pages will be covered by photos. The albums are compact and stylish, measuring just 9.5cm x 9.5cm, and are secured with a pretty ribbon tie closure.

Arch Shaped Shaker Card Tutorial – How to Make It.

Arch Shaped Shaker Card Tutorial – How to Make It. – Everyday Arches Dies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Do you like shaker cards? I’m always looking for new ways to include shakers in my cardmaking. It can be fun to make different shaped cards. They engage the recipient and are enjoyable to make.

Tips

I do have a few tips to share. Firstly remove the backing to the foam strips before you apply. This makes the strips more malleable and easy to shape. Secondly, ensure you enclose your shaker window with foam strips and have no gaps. Thirdly once you have closed up your shaker give the adhesive a good press with your bone folder to ensure good adhesion.

I love layering stencils. They are so easy to use. I’ve shown how to use them many times in videos, however, I still get new people unsure of how to use them. Therefore I decided to do a new tutorial on how to use these wonderful products.

Stampin’ Up!’s layering stencils are numbered making it easy to know what order to use them. Another tip is to always start with your lightest colour and increase the colour intensity. Stick to colours that are next to each other in the colour wheel. Have you seen the fabulous colour wheel from Stampin’ Up!? Check it out here. It is great for choosing the colours for a card or scrapbook page.

I love a shaker card, or, as I call them, shakey, shakey cards. They are such fun. I have a huge collection of sequins, and this year, I want to continue to use them. Do you have anything in your stash that you are trying to use?

The secret to easy shaker cards is good-quality foam strips. Remove the backing, and you will find them easy to manipulate. You can fill up your shakers as much as you want. If you want them to shake nicely, don’t overfill them.

Aren’t these mini handbags the cutest? I love them. They each hold a mini pad of sticky notes. Such a cute gift for any stationery lover. I don’t know about you, but I have always loved stationery. All the bright colours and pretty designs. I was that girl at school with a pencil case full of pretty pencils and rubbers.

I made a mistake in the video with the measurements. The correct ones are below.

measurements

  • Bloom Impressions designer series paper (DSP) – 7 1/2″ X 5 1/2″
    • Scored at 2 ” & 5 1.2″ on the longer side and 2″ & 3″ on the shorter side.

I love floral cards. This is the Painted Lavender bundle. It evokes the lavender fields of Provence. Unfortunately, I have bad hay fever, so I must admire it from afar. The background felt sparse, so I used the Forever Plaid embossing folder to add texture and interest without detracting from the focal image.

Instead of stamping a sentiment I used one from the Saying Something ephemera pack. You don’t have to handstamp everything on the card, it gives added interest to mix and match, do you agree?

Besides the patterned paper, everything used to make these cards is from the ephemera packs. I love these packs. They are full of lovely images and sentiments both for easy cards and scrapbooking. I am on a mission to use as much up as I can before they retire. I want to add as little to my stash as possible, I would rather use it than hoard it.
