5×5 Mini Album in a Box

Hi ladies! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a super cute mini album with a video tutorial. I’ll walk you through how I made this scrapbook using one of Lori’s amazing cutting files. It’s a fun project that’s perfect for photos of spring, family, friends, St. Patrick’s Day, and fun every day memories!

 

Since my Lori Whitlock and Doodlebug Design Team Projects fell on the same day, I combined their products to create this happy and colorful keepsake. I used Lori’s 5×5 Album with Box File (SVG, Silhouette) and Doodlebug’s cute Lucky Me Collection.

 

The cut file makes a box and a mini album that fits perfectly inside. I cut the base out of white cardstock, then decorated it with lots of 12×12 pattern papers and fun embellishments.

 


I made this with a spring theme but you could use ANY collection and create it for Easter, Mother’s Day, a birthday, summer, etc. What a great gift idea, and … it comes with it’s own box, lol!

 


The 
album is a perfect size. At 5×5 inches, it’s not too big, not too small … but just right for pictures of a fun event, family, friends, or baby pics. I’m thinking cute mom / grandma’s brag book!

 


Inside, there are 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided). I covered them in bright and cheerful 12×12 pattern papers, then added lots of cute die cuts, colorful enamel dots, and photo mats. 

Here are a few more pages …

I hope you like this fun mini album and it inspires you to create one too with Lori’s 5×5 Album with Box File (SVG, Silhouette). Have a great day and happy scrapping! 😊

Easter Basket Boxes

Hello there! Today I am  moving on from Valentine’s Day and on to Easter. I am looking forward to bunnies and chicks!

For my projects today I played with the new Lori Whitlock Easter Basket Collection!

I cut several of Lori’s boxes and added all the fun Easter Basket elements. I spent an evening with my little Sidekick die cutter and die cut my self silly. When I am doing this, I put on a good movie and cut a bunch of pieces out of the different colors and just sort of mix and match away-always sure to have extra pieces because I tend to lose tiny pieces! I had fun adding the sticker elements to the finished boxes as a little extra special touch. Everything was just so fun! 

I die cut 3 baskets and lots of fun little eggs and flowers/leaves in all the different colors included in the new collection. I did cut out some grass from this file to use at the base of the boxes. I removed the scoring lines from the grass piece to cut one long strip and trimmed  pieces to fit each box at the base. As for the boxes themselves, I like to add a little extra matting to allow the patterned paper to pop a bit more. To do that, I open the offset panel and chose offset, distance of .050 and the square corner. In these projects I used white for the extra matting pieces.

***This tip will help you with these tiny dies.  I used washi tape to adhere the tiny dies on to my paper. I poked out the cut pieces but left the dies taped on to the paper. You can just put these on top of your next paper each time. Just keep the dies in place with the washi tape and store them that way as well. You won’t lose those tiny eyes or rosy cheeks that way!
