Adventure mini album

Hey everybody, happy Saturday – can you even believe it’s the last Saturday of June? Blows my mind! I’m excited to share a tag mini album for Keep It Simple that I created with our new Gift Card Pocket Die. OMG, the possibilities are literally endless with this… so much fun in one lil package! I paired it with our fairly new KIS Cuts Circular Pop-Up Square Dies, KIS Cuts Tags #1, and papers, stamps, dies and die cut pieces from our new Wander Collection. Oh, and stamps from our Lumberjack Collection, too! This was definitely a fun project!

Using our KIS Cuts Circular Pop-Up Square Dies, I cut two sections for the mini album base from CutCardStock Lessebo Blossom Pink cardstock and then four pockets from CutCardStock Flamingo cardstock using the new KIS Cuts Gift Card Pocket Die. I stamped an image and sentiment for the front using stamps from our Wander Collection, colored the image with an assortment of markers, and then cut it with the coordinating Wander Outline Dies. I wrapped the mini album with some Lawn Fawn Lawn Trimmings White Hemp Twine and tied it in a bow prior to adhering the image (popped up on foam squares) and sentiment to the front.

I cut four tags (using our KIS Cuts Tags #1 Dies) from several prints in the Wander 6×9 Collection Pack, shortening them a bit so they’d fit the pockets. This is super easy to do by cutting the full size tag first, then sliding the die upward from the bottom to cut off the desired amount and running it back through the Big Shot. I gathered an assortment of Wander Die Cut Pieces to embellish the pockets. I stamped images and sentiments for each tag (from the Wander and Lumberjack Collection Stamps), colored the images with markers, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies. The final step was tying Lawn Fawn Lawn Trimmings White Hemp Twine to the top of each tag.

Here’s a shot of the back of each tag which I backed with Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and leftover pieces of matching prints used on the front of each one.

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)
