5×5 Christmas Mini Album with Traci

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I have a cute little Christmas scrapbook to share with you titled Eat, Drink, and Be Merry. I made it using one of Lori’s fabulous cutting files called 5×5 Mini Album with Gusset Pages (SVG, Silhouette) and it’s the perfect small size for gift giving this holiday season!

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry Christmas Mini Album

Lori’s files make it so easy to create the sweetest handmade presents and this one was super simple.

The album is made with a cover piece and 3 gusseted pages (which gives you 6 scrapbook pages inside). To start, I cut the base out of white cardstock then decorated the pieces with paper and embellishments from the Bella Blvd, Merry Mingle Collection.

Here is a photo of the gusseted edges. The white pages go in the cover piece and the holes line up perfectly for binding.

I ran 3 strands of twine through the
cover and each page, then tied them in a cute knot on the inside.

Next … the decorating! I layered the pages
with 12×12 pattern papers, photo mats, and colorful embellishments.
And that was it! See? Sooo simple and such a fun project! 

Here are the other pages for some holiday inspiration …

While I decorated this mini album in a festive Christmas theme, the cutting file is literally a blank canvas and could be designed with ANY paper collection. Imagine winter, Valentine’s Day, spring, Easter, Mother’s Day, or … anything! I love Lori’s projects … the possibilities are endless. 💕

Coffee and Candy 3D Pocket Card Bundle

Hey there crafty friends! Tamara here and today I’m sharing a fun project that makes an cute card for a birthday. 

It’s a 3D pocket card that’s sized perfectly to fit a mini choco bar, or other sweets of course. I created mine for a 9th birthday using the “Simple Split Birthday Numbers”  but … you could embellish this for ANY occasion! You can find it here in Lori’s shop, SVG.

 

The green card with the Split birthday number has enough space on the back to leave your birthday wishes!

This model is also available in other styles!

Have a great day!
