Christmas Card Mini Album with Brandie

 

Hi there! Brandie here with a tutorial on how I made this mini album for my Christmas cards. I have been wanting a cute way to display the Christmas cards I get every year and this little album will do the trick. I used the Mini Album Rounded Corners file you can find it here in Loris shop and here in the Silhouette Store.

After I uploaded the file to Cricut Design Space I resized everything so that my largest cards would fit. For this album it is 6.8 inches tall by 10 inches wide. To get the correct proportions for all the pieces select all then use the arrow corner to enlarge everything.

Once I had everything cut I added my decorative panels. I also decorated the fronts of my albums with the papers and embellishments from Echo Park’s A Perfect Christmas collection.

Then I glued my Christmas cards to the pages.

I placed the binding cover and tied them with tulle.

Now every Christmas I can pull them out and look back to see how family and friends have changed over the year as the new cards come in.

Thanks for stopping by!

Puffed Star Birthday Favors with Mitsyana

Hi, Crafty Friends! Creative Team Member Mitsyana Wright here and I’m kicking off a new year with back to back parties. Not just to celebrate a beginning to a brand new year but also to celebrate multiple BIRTHDAYS!! WOOHOO!! Both my youngest son and my husband have birthdays in January. As well as a niece and nephew. We’re on birthday cake overload throughout the month!

And if cake wasn’t enough sugar, let’s spike everyone’s blood sugar level by adding candy to the mix. But I’ll play it safe and send the candy home with them instead.

**Disclaimer** – Remember folks, consume sugar responsibly!!

So, I made these adorable PUFFED STARS using Lori Whitlock’s Star Pillow Box file.

 

You can purchase this file from the Lori Whitlock Shop, here.

Or from the Silhouette Store, here.

For an instant “WOW” factor, just fill a large glass jar with filled boxes and set it on tables for a quick and easy centerpiece. Or lay them on each place setting for awesome place cards. These will totally dress up your party tabletop!!

I hope you enjoyed this fun and festive project. You should definitely give these a try for your next party!!  Thanks for stopping by!!
