Prima Wedding Mini Album

Happy National Scrapbook Day!  I'd like to share a project I've been working on using some Accucut dies.  It's a mini album using the Prima Something Blue collection.  It has 6 pages made of medium weight chipboard. 

 
 
For the cover, I used a 3x4 ATC card, wood icon piece of the wedding couple, chipboard piece below and behind the flowers, flowers from the collection, and a Graphic 45 ornate key.
 
 

The pages normally measure 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, but some of the pages were shortened lengthwise to create a "side step" effect so you can have a peek of all of the pages at once. 



I also used an Accucut circle die to create a "peek through" window to the next page.  When creating the pages, I plan what the circle will show when you turn the page.  The page behind also creates a window, and I wanted to make that nice to peek through too.



Thanks for stopping by to take a look.  Happy creating!!

Botanical Tea Butterfly Project

Hello!
I have a project share with lots of pictures.  It's artwork that I plan to display in my craftroom.  I used a butterfly die from Accucut, but instead of using the die cut shape of the butterfly, I used the negative, or leftover space.  I wanted to not waste any of the papers and also show different ways of using the die shapes. 


The pages are curled and slightly lifted off the page to create a dimensional look.  The base is made of medium weight chipboard and covered with the papers.  Here are more close up pictures:



 
The paper collection is Botanical Tea by Graphic 45, and I used some embellishments by Prima Marketing. 



 Come watch my video taking you through my project:
