Mini Album with Gusset Tutorial with Corri

September 17, 2015June 14, 2016

Hi everyone! Corri here today to show you how to assemble the 5×5 Mini Album with Gusset Pages. This is such a cute mini album and it’s pretty easy to put together.

First, cut out all the pages and the cover panels. Once you have them all glued together, this is what you will have.

Next, cut 3 long pieces of twine…about 18 inches long. I cut mine long just to make sure I had enough.

Thread one piece of twine through one of the top and bottom holes of your cover.

Repeat this step with all all three pieces of twine.

Next, thread one piece of twine through the holes in one of the pages and tie in a knot.

Repeat with all three pages.

Here’s out it looks on the outside. I love it! I used the new Story of Family Collection that Lori designed for Echo Park.

This little album is so cute and would make a great brag book for Grandma! Be sure to stop by the shop to see all the new files. There are several new mini albums.

Changing a File to Fit the Season

September 10, 2015September 10, 2015

Hi everyone – it’s Tya here to share with you a simple tutorial on how to utilize your cut files to fit any season!

Some of the files that I have downloaded come with specific accents that fit a certain occasion. For instance I bought these 2 files to use for some Valentines Day projects I had in mind back in February – but with a simple switch of the accents – you can use files that are supposed to be used for a certain holiday any time of the year.

Let me show you how I did these-

First the tall gable box-

I opened up the box and found a leaf shape that I liked that I wanted to substitute.

I ungrouped the file and separated the heart from the box. I resized the leaf to be about the same size as the heart. I then placed the leaf in the center of the box and then grouped the box and the leaf shape all together.

Here is the box with the leaf shape in the center instead of the heart. Just right for a little box of fall treats to give to a friend.

The steps are the same with this cute box. The original box had 3 hearts on the lid. I used the same leaf shape.

Ungroup the hearts from the box, resize the leaf to be the same size as the hearts

Add the leaf shapes to the box and then group the leaf shapes to the box. Cut out as normal.

Here are the files that I used to make these projects:

-Tall Heart Gable Box (LW Shop) (Silhouette)

-No Glue Box Hearts (LW Shop) (Silhouette)

-3 Fall Leaf Set (LW Shop) (Silhouette)

That’s all there is to it! I hope that I have inspired you to stretch your cut files to fit any occasion. The Silhouette machine makes it so easy to customize your cut files. One of the reasons I love my Silhouette so much – I can make it fit to whatever I want to design with a few simple modifications. Thanks for stopping by! Happy Crafting!
