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. 💕

The Cutest Miniature Christmas House!

Today I’m sharing this cute miniature house that can be use in a snow globe or independently in your Christmas decor. The SVG file is called Miniature Christmas House for Snowglobe. Find this house in Lori’s Shop or the Silhouette store.

The file includes the pieces to make the round covering for the bottom of the snowglobe. Be sure to get THIS snowglobe so it all fits as planned. You can find Lori’s recommended supplies on the project page listing here. This tiny house is so cute and fun to add to a snow globe! Feel free to watch the Miniature Christmas House in a Jar assembly tutorial on Lori’s YouTube Channel for a closer look at this house and some other miniature houses and how to put them together.

“Season’s Greetings” is here!

The second collection that I designed that  just released TODAY at CHA with Echo Park Paper is called Season’s Greetings. I was going for a traditional Christmas collection with a bit of vintage and distressing. You’ll find lots of very usable, but unique pieces in the Season’s Greetings collection. I hope you like it : )
