I loved the Gingerbread Man so much I wanted to make a little Gingerbread Girl as well. This was very easy to do. I turned his bow tie into a bow. To do this I just made a copy of the bow tie then using the copy I moved the 2 bow tie pieces together until they touched. I then simply fused them together by using the weld tool in my Silhouette studio. I also wanted to give them some candy so I used some of the candy from the 3 Story Gingerbread Dollhouse (SVG, Silhouette).
I also made the Reindeer & Santa. For my Santa I have used white polar fleece on parts of his clothes. I have never had luck cutting fabric on my Silhouette. So I chose a more simple approach. I cut the white cardboard pieces then glued onto them the polar fleece. I placed something heavy on them as they dried to keep them flat. Once they were dry I just trimmed off the excess polar fleece around the shape. Then proceeded putting my Santa together as normal.
Happy Thanksgiving! Traci here and I hope you all have a wonderful holiday filled with blessings and warm, happy moments. Today, I have a tiny scrapbook to share with you titled Give Thanks that would be so fun for those memories. And, it might be the “miniest” mini album I’ve ever made!
Look how small it is! 💕 I created it with one of Lori’s amazing cutting files called 2×2 Accordion Mini Album (SVG, Silhouette) and the Echo Park, I love Fall Collection also designed by Lori.
First, let’s look at this little cutie, then I’ll explain exactly how I made it with a tutorial below.
I just love that it looks like a miniature book. It has an orange and green scalloped spine, pretty pattern papers, and a Give Thanks title sticker on the cover from the 12×12 elements sheet.
Inside, there are 16 little scrapbook pages (8 double-sided). I added some fun shaped journaling spots and photo mats using a 2″ scallop circle punch and a 1.75″ circle punch by Marvy Uchida.
You could use each page in this album for photos, or … mix it up and add embellishments on some of them like I did. Above, I added the Harvest Blessings sticker from the sticker book.
The journaling spots are perfect for adding dates, names, locations, events, or … what you and your family are most grateful for this year.
This project could be a cute little gift idea for after Thanksgiving. Make them for your guests with pictures from the holiday. Or … create this tiny album with ANY paper collection and it could be a fun Christmas present or stocking stuffer idea!
Now, for some instructions …
1. I chose my papers and cut out the 8 pages, 2 inside covers, 2 outside covers, and three pieces for the spine.
2. Next, I folded the paper on the score lines for each of the pages and positioned them on my table with the 1/2″ tab on the left.
3. Then, I adhered each 1/2” tab to the back of the page before it until I had all 8 pages glued together.
4. The very first page still has a tab on the left side, so I adhered the inside front cover here.
5. The inside back cover has a tab on it, so I adhered this to the last page of the album.
6. Once all of the pages are attached, I folded them into a little book and added the front and back covers.
7.
Finally, I adhered the 2 scallop accent pieces next to the spine on the
front and back, then used liquid adhesive to fold the orange spine around the
entire left side of the book.
There
is no need to adhere any of the pages back to back or to the spine. They stay nicely in their accordion shape once the spine piece goes on. Once the book is complete … it’s time to decorate!
I hope you’ll try this fun project made with Lori’s 2×2 Accordion Mini Album cutting file and her fabulous I Love Fall Collection designed for Echo Park.
