Denise Boddey DT Four page album

Hi there

Today's post is about a mini album I created using Denise Boddey's

Day Dream Story Book paper range.

I have a video that I will add at the bottom of this post.

To create this album you need 4 sheets of 12" x 12" patterned paper.

The paper I have used is double sided.

If you make this album you could add as many pages as you wish

The papers I used are Dreams, Day Dream, Our Story and Princess for a Day.

For each page:-

score at 6" with the paper right way up,

flip to the left and score at 9" (this will be at the bottom of the page)

Select the paper you want for the front cover,

use glue to attach the back outside panel of this paper to the front outside of the next panel.

Continue doing this until all pages are attached.

If you prefer you could only glue around the edges of each page and create pockets between each page.

I cut a piece of patterned paper 1" x 9" to create the spine cover.

Next I used my corner rounder on the top and bottom outside edges of each page.

Run a small bead of glue along the outside edges of the pocket on each page.

You could run glue along the centre fold too if you prefer.

I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink and my distressing tool to ink around the edges 

of each page and pocket edges

I created eight tags to go into the pockets.

I used 300gsm white cardstock to create the tags, they measure 4 1/2" x 8 1/2".

The patterned paper has been cut to 4 1/4" x 8 1/4".

I inked the edges and attached the patterned paper to the front of the tag.

I added an eyelet to the top of each tag using my Crop O Dial and

added some white seam binding through the eyelet.

Using my Big Shot I die cut flowers using patterned paper and pale pink velum 

and Couture Creations CO724161 die.

I cut some leaves using Honey Bee's Lovely Layers Heart Vine and Uniquely Creative Little Leaves dies

Using Uniquely Creative Island Texture die and the same papers/velum I cut some background fillers

Other embellishments I used were lace and gauze/cheese cloth and Ali Lattice chipboard panel

You will see the embellishing in the video.

I hope you try making this little album. 

It is easy to make, a good size and can be changed and embellished in so many ways.

Have a great day

Till next time

Stay safe

Booklet for Cinderella Junk Journal

Good morning

I have created a Junk Journal using a Cinderella Little Golden Book

This project is a booklet to go into a pocket in that journal.

I have used two pieces of white cardstock measuring 12" x 8 1/2"

Fold each piece in halves one way, open the paper and fold in half the other way

this will give you a 12" x 8 1/2" piece that has four sections.

With the 12" edge at the bottom, cut up to the centre fold line on the short fold line.

Do this to both pieces of cardstock.

With the cut section at the bottom, fold so the two short edges are together.

Fold the two bottom sections up to create a 6" x 4 1/4" section.

Glue the double section along the edges to create a top loading pocket.

To join the two sections together apply glue to the top, bottom and one long edge

 to the back section of one booklet and attach this to the front of the other booklet.

I cut a piece of patterned paper 6 1/4" x 8 3/4" and wrapped this around the booklet. 

I attached it with glue, making sure there was no glue attached to the spine area.

I created tags using plain pink cardstock.

I added tabs that I punched from the same patterned paper I used for the cover, 

using my McGill File Tab 3" Punch

There are lots of areas for journalling in this booklet.

You can see how I created this booklet in my video

I hope you enjoy the video and attempt one of these booklets.

They are not as complicated as they sound in this post as you will see in the video.

Till next time

Stay safe

One Page Wonder for Denise Boddey Designs

Good morning

Today I want to share a great little one sheet wonder using 

Denise Boddey Daydream Story Book - Dream

Cut your sheet into 2 pieces 6" x 12"

Score each piece at 5" and 10"

Use a corner rounder on the two corners of the 2" section

Use double side tape or glue to attach one of the 2" sections 

to the outside front of the second piece applying tape/glue to two sides and the bottom.

It is easy to see this process in the video which is below

I used my Crop-O-Dial to add an eyelet to the 2" section on the right hand end of the folder.

I threaded ribbon through the eyelet and wrapped it around the album

 a couple of times and tied a bow.

I made an assortment of embellishments for this album

I used 

Craft Barn Primrose Die

We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board

Martha Stewart Score Board

Die-namics Just the Ticket die

Finniss Dies - Invitation 1 die

Denise Boddey Chipboard Arch

You can see how I used all of these things to decorate my album in my video

This is a fun, easy project and I hope you will try it out.

Thank you for spending part of your day here with me today

Until next time

Stay safe

Denise Boddey DT album flip through

 Good morning

Today I want to share a mini album I created using Denise Boddey Designs Elegance patterned papers.

The album started life as an accordion album.

I altered the album by adding a spine and assorted flaps, pockets and a hand made envelope.

You can see that video here

All of the papers have had the edges distressed using my distressing tool 

and then inked with a VersaColor black ink cube.

Each page has a top opening pocket with a photo mat.

I have also used some velum, made some flowers using Craft Barn Stamp/Die set 

and created the tags for the album using Uniquely Creatives Tags Tops & Tails.

Lace from my stash helps to decorate the front of the album.

Here are some photos
