Good day everybody. It is Kelly Ishmael right here and at this time I’m sharing some concepts for utilizing the Vertical Floral 4×6 Album and the Cowl Playing cards from the 2024 Introduction Calendar.
The unique inspiration for these concepts got here from a query requested throughout one among Ali’s Q&A’s on Instagram lately. The query was if the duvet card from the arrival calendar would match contained in the web page protector of the 4×6 album.
Word:Simply so as to add some context to the query, every envelope within the introduction calendar comes with a cardstock cowl card to hide the shock inside.
We liked this concept a lot and thought it could enjoyable to mess around with different concepts for utilizing these cowl playing cards.
Thought #1 | Contained in the web page protector
The quilt playing cards measure 4×6 inches and match completely contained in the full-size web page protector. This is able to be a enjoyable, easy means to make use of the playing cards to doc the month with a streamlined formulation!
Thought #2 | Exterior the web page protector
My subsequent thought was to punch holes within the facet of the duvet card to make use of it exterior the web page protector. I like that it’s barely narrower than the web page protector and that it is an ideal spot for utilizing a tab sticker alongside the sting.
Thought #3 | 4×3 pocket card
One other easy thought is to trim the highest and backside of the duvet card to make use of inside one of many 4×3 pockets. There are 10 of those 3×4 two pocket web page protectors included with the album and I feel this makes for a very cute pocket card.
Thought #4 | Flip-up card
For this concept I lower down a bit of patterned paper that measures 5×6.25 inches as a base (that is the total measurement of the web page protector). I then lined up the duvet card alongside the highest and left a small margin alongside the left facet for the holes. I created a flip up by including a bit of the colour block wash tape alongside the highest after which folding it over the again facet of my patterned paper. I added a second piece of the phrases sample washi tape to offer it just a little extra curiosity.
I ended up trimming a couple of 1/4″ alongside the proper facet to match the width of the duvet card. Beneath the flip you might add pictures or journaling or different embellishment. This tag + pocket from the principle package are simply the proper measurement for this darling album.
Thought #5 | Circle punch
One other easy thought for the duvet playing cards is to punch out the quantity with a circle punch. I lower down a bit of transparency from my stash to 5×6.25 inches and added the circle on high. On the again facet of the circle I added one of many enjoyable colour block circles from the principle package, however you might add a photograph or journaling too.
Thought #6 | Scalloped edges
Anybody have a few of these scalloped edge scissors of their stash?? I am keen on the entire scalloped edge particulars included within the this 12 months’s product launch, and I remembered that I nonetheless had my pair from WAAAAYYYY again within the day (lol). I thought it is perhaps enjoyable so as to add that edge remedy to a canopy card. I began by chopping one inch from the highest and backside to create a 4 inch sq.. Subsequent I trimmed alongside the sting with my scissors. (Professional tip! be sure you have them turned the proper course lol.)
It turned out actually cute and it is a enjoyable option to embody that design component in different methods in your challenge. If you do not have scalloped edge scissors, you might use a scalloped edge craft die (scrapbook.com has fairly a number of choices) or a sq. paper punch (this is one from Amazon).
You’ll be able to watch my course of for every of those concepts within the video beneath.
Thanks for becoming a member of me at this time. I hope this submit has given you some concepts for working with the 4×6 album and the arrival calendar cowl playing cards. Hold forth together with your concepts within the feedback beneath!
