Baby Mini Pocket Album

Good morning and happy Monday.  I hope your week will be a good week with lots to look forward too.  Happy Easter !!!  I know my week is going to be a busy one.

I had so much fun making this album.  I added lots of pockets to this album.  Each page has a different card template or an envelope template added, which gave the album such a different look and lots of space to add photos.  I also added tags to all the pockets.

  I used the Babee Mine Boy for this album and found some lovely chipboard embellishment for the inside.

Chipboard Bubble Technique

Happy Monday.  Today I am doing a bit of a different post.  Today will be a card including a technique.  

I chose to do bubble paint on chipboard.

You will need

1.  Some chipboard cut outs.  I used an old cereal box and cut my pieces with my cutter.  I did double cut just to be sure it cut through nicely.  I used the gears from the file 

Silhouette Elements 

2. Paintbrush

3.  Acrylic paint

4. Perfect Pearls (optional)

5.  Some glaze (optional)

6. Heat gun

 Start painting your pieces. Once covered completely in paint, used your heat gun to start drying the paint.

 You will notice the paint starts to bubble.  That is the effect we want.  Continue to do about 3 layers of paint and drying.

End result.

Here is the card!

I went on to add some perfect pearls and dimensional glaze to my chipboard.  I just dry brushed the perfect pearls on.  For the title of the card "LIFE".  First I just chalked the chipboard with a brown chalk, I added some dimensional glaze and thought, "What the HEck!!"  I used my heat gun to dry the title and then also added some perfect pearls. I thought that both looked so pretty cool.

The little lace flower.  I took a piece of lace and ran a running stitch through the lace.  I gathered the lace and just secured it with a stitch to form the flower.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and have fun trying out this technique

Page Layout

I have been looking for some inspiration and came across this blog.  Stuck on U Sketches.  I saw their sketch and decided to catch up on some of my own scrap booking.

For this page I used all of Little scraps of Heavens paper piecing files and just LOVE how this turned out.

This way and That

Elements collection

The arrows, brackets and title were all cut out of chipboard with my Black Cat cutter.  I inked the edges and then put some 3D dimensional liquid on top of each die cut to create the gloss.  

Thanks for looking and have a good day.
