Hello buddies! I’m excited to be again with you this week, sharing extra basis web page concepts for the 4×6 album. This week the 3×8 journaling card and transparency pack is my leaping off level. I child you not, the toughest factor about documenting this December goes to be deciding which pages to make use of, as a result of I’ve bought sufficient basis pages from the 3×8 set for an entire second album/12 months of tales, it’s that good! Why don’t we begin with a bit of album flip via after which we’ll break it down into the specifics of how I made these (quite simple!) pages.
The pages I made with this assortment match into 3 classes: transparencies, pockets and tags/journaling spots. Though my pages are designed to suit the 4×6 album, this set and these concepts will certainly translate simply right into a 6×8 or 10×8 format.
3×8 Transparencies
I LOVE together with transparencies in my initiatives! There’s one thing about with the ability to sneak a peek on the layers past that makes me so joyful. For this undertaking, I used to be used the transparencies as dividers, pockets and see via parts.
Dividers: Begin by trimming the pages down to suit the 4×6 album and have enjoyable embellishing! Take into account including ribbon and trim to the sides for further texture and a playful contact, or strive slicing your divider into a unique form (eg. half circle)
Pockets: Customized pockets are my favorite means so as to add further journaling, pictures and ephemera to my initiatives. Take into account enjoying with each conventional horizontally oriented pockets and non-traditional facet pockets to maximise the area it’s important to work with.
“See via” parts: Two enjoyable choices to play with the “see via” options of the transparencies. 1) Lower out a window. Bear in mind, this window can by any form you need it to be! This may be a terrific use of the Christmas tree die from the 2024 assortment. Additionally think about formed punches, or play with a customized form. 2) Create a “see via flap” on an enlarged picture or patterned paper. Trim the transparency to six.25” in top (that is the “outdoors the web page protector” measurement of the pages). Rating the transparency vertically on the facet of the holes app ¼-1/2” from the sting. Fold and cling this edge behind an enlarged picture / cardstock / patterned paper to create a flap.
Right here’s a break down of the provides I used for every of those transparency pages.
3×8 Journal Playing cards
My method to utilizing the journaling playing cards was just about the identical as what I did with the transparencies, however as a result of there are repeated designs within the journaling card assortment, I approached these subsequent few pages with concepts for every design fashion. These journaling playing cards include pre-punched holes, however that doesn’t imply you must use them. You’ll be able to positively reduce them off and have enjoyable creating new shapes (eg. My love for tags!) that can be utilized on both the appropriate or left facet of a variety.
Scalloped borders: These pretty playing cards could be trimmed down to suit the 4×6 format whereas sustaining the design AND be became a pocket, all on the identical time!
In addition they make a stunning house for further pictures, ephemera, gildings and/or journaling as an interactive “flip out” from a full web page picture or patterned paper.
Gold foil stars: I like this sample! It was very tempting to make use of all of them up proper now, however I managed some restraint and have 1 left nonetheless to permit for some flexibility in December. I used the opposite two as an interactive “flip out”, a folio fashion pocket, and tags in 2 completely different sizes. A bonus function of this design is that it’s reversible; with pre-punched holes, this design could be flipped the other way up and nonetheless make sense whenever you put it on the left facet of your unfold.
Gold foil phrase artwork: Once I see this fashion of paper, with a lovely design oriented to the highest of the web page and a clearly outlined horizontal line, my mind instantly thinks “make a pocket”! In order that’s what I did. I like the thought of utilizing punches and/or formed scissors alongside the highest of the pocket for frolicsome little bit of element. I’ve one card left nonetheless, and I’m pondering subsequent time I’d like to attain the paper a bit of additional down the white part to depart a white line on the backside of the design the place I can stamp the date.
Journaling immediate: The journaling immediate papers are so pretty of their simplicity and have me wanting to make use of that area as supposed for journaling. That’s just about what I’ll do right here. They are often reduce to measurement, and within the smaller 4×6 format, they will completely be a narrative all on their very own with the addition of a small picture. They’re additionally one other nice alternative to play along with your scissors and punches, or reshape them into tags.
Particular person designs (Vibrant Christmas bushes, Ho Ho): I beloved slicing up the colorful Christmas tree card to spotlight the form of the bushes and create a customized “die reduce insert”. This could be one among my favorite playing cards from the bunch!
Bonus mini tags: Save your scraps!! As a result of these transparencies and journaling playing cards are sized to “outdoors the web page protector”, they’re truly 3.75” x 8.25” in measurement. Once you trim them down to suit the 4×6 format, you’ve bought an additional 2” x 3.75” canvas to play with. You’ll be able to flip these scraps into tremendous enjoyable little tags that would create a whole sequence that may very well be used on this undertaking or saved for one thing else! In concept, you would create a coordinated assortment of 31 numbered tags!

Undoubtedly let me know in case you have any questions within the feedback under, and joyful December Each day-ing! These packages will probably be arriving earlier than you realize it!
