Hello buddies! This week I’ve a number of concepts for you together with creating an area on your cause why contained in the craft tree envelope, a easy pocket web page utilizing the scallop playing cards, a pocket made out of the 3×8 transparencies, and as an added bonus I’m exhibiting you how I used to be in a position to match 18 years of my Christmas playing cards into the 4×6 album!
PROJECT 1: REASON WHY
I’ve been enthusiastic about find out how to use the colourful tree craft envelope in my album for a number of weeks and I’m so excited to indicate you what I lastly got here up with! In fact, when you’ve got the 10×8 album, you possibly can simply pop it in there and have a pocket learn on your tales. However I am utilizing a 6×8 album, and did not wish to simply connect it sideways as a result of sideways bushes simply look bizarre!
So I got here up with two concepts. The primary is to chop off each ends of the pocket in order that it’s 6 inches broad with the string enclosure within the center and stitch either side again up with an attacher sticker sandwiched on the left aspect. That will offer you a cute new envelope that matches within the 6×8!
The second concept is for these of you and not using a stitching machine. You may skip stitching the edges and simply depart it as a fold out factor that you may tuck your photographs and tales within. You may both add the attacher stickers like within the first concept OR you are able to do what I did and connect your new fold out piece onto the entrance cowl of your album on your cause why! And in case you are doing that, be happy to make it barely greater. I lower mine to be 7 inches broad.
I really like how cute this appears on the within cowl of my album! It will additionally look cute contained in the 10×8 or the tree album. Take a look at the method video to see the way it got here collectively.
PROJECT 2: JOY POCKET
One other pocket?! Sure! I can by no means have sufficient pockets. LOL. I really like this 3×8 transparency with the repeated JOY on it a lot that I needed to make one thing out of it. Final 12 months I used a 3×8 pocket to do my Christmas day reflections, so I needed to make an identical pocket this 12 months. You might use the inexperienced one within the envelope pack, however I had lower mine up already final week so I made my very own!
To brighten the pocket, I believed it will be cute so as to add the wooden veneer stars within the O’s of pleasure. However I actually needed 5 colours to go within the 5 joys and there are solely crimson, inexperienced, and white stars. My answer was to color two of the white stars pink and mint to match just a few of the opposite colours within the assortment. I really like how they turned out!
You will have to observe the video to see my failed try at making a notch on the highest that explains why the ultimate pocket has the highest of the transparency lower off with the tag protruding of the highest. Typically we simply must roll with it and I’m nonetheless proud of my remaining product.
PROJECT 3: SCALLOP FRAME POCKET PAGE
For this straightforward pocket web page concept, I needed to indicate you that you may not solely flip the scallop tags over to create a cute white scallop body on your photographs, however you may also layer a number of tags to make your body even greater!
In case you have the 10×8 album, think about how cute it will be to layer three of the scallop tags to make a extremely lengthy body for the 4×10 pocket pages?
Take a look at the method video to see how this got here collectively.
PROJECT 4: CHRISTMAS CARDS IN THE 4X6 ALBUM
Since I am not utilizing the 4×6 album for my mission this 12 months, I used to be decided to make use of it for one thing else. It is simply so cute! So I made a decision to see if I may match the final 18 years value of my Christmas playing cards into it. The decision is that YES with the assistance of the attacher stickers and a few artistic folding and gap punching, all of them slot in there. Even the loopy huge 6×8 card and the oddly formed home made ones.
After doing this mission, I actually suggest the attacher stickers in case you are utilizing this album. The one gap ones work nice for including issues into this ring configuration.
I believe this might be such a fantastic present concept for a member of the family which will have been amassing all the playing cards you’ve got despatched through the years. Mother, do you want one among these? 😉 Additionally, I acquired a little bit excited trying by means of all of my playing cards so this video became a bit extra of a present and inform than I anticipated. Get pleasure from!
