Mini Album tutorial as requested part 1

Hi everyone

Today I've got this beautiful mini album to share with you all. I shared this on my YouTube channel and I've had a lot of requests to do a tutorial on it.

I'm so pleased with how it turned out and I can't wait to fill it with photos.

The tutorial I am having to do in two parts as it's a huge project. The measurements I will be leaving below is for the cover and the mats.
The next part of the tutorial will be going out on Tuesday (hopefully) as that's my next day off from work.

So here are the measurements that you will need:

Chipboard
2 pieces measuring 6" x 6 1/2"
2 pieces measuring 6 1/2" x 5 1/2"
2 pieces measuring 6 1/2" x 1 1/8"
1 piece measuring 6 1/2" x 2 1/4"

Card (to cover the chipboard)
2 pieces measuring 8 1/2" x 8 1/4"
2 pieces measuring 8 1/2" x 7 7/8"

Card for hinges
2 pieces measuring 6 1/4" x 3. Score on the short side at 1", 1 1/2" and 2"

Card to cover middle spine
6 1/4" x 4"

Mats for all sections of the cover
4 pieces measuring 5 1/4" x 6 1/4"
4 pieces measuring 5 7/8" x 6 1/4"
2 pieces measuring 2 1/8" x 6 1/4"
2 pieces measuring 1 1/8" x 6 1/4"

I will leave a link below to my tutorial showing how to put this together.

Myths and Magic travellers notebook

Hi everyone

I hope you are well and having a good day.

I'm super excited about today's project!!

I just love the whole Magic and Myths suite that is available in the spring/ summer catalogue. From the 1st time I saw it I just knew I had to have them haha.

This is my 1st time making a travellers notebook and I love how it's turned out. It's so easy to do too and a great way to showcase those gorgeous papers. I used the matching stamp and die set to do the mermaid, seahorse and unicorn along with my Stampin blends to colour them in, then I added some wink of stella.
It would be so easy to alter the measurements depending what size note books you get.

On the tutorial I said I got the notebooks from Boots for £3 for 4....this was a mistake and they were actually 3 notebooks for £1 in the sale. I don't edit my videos so that's why I wanted to tell you the correct price on here.

I will leave below the measurements and all products I used:

Magical Day stamp set
Magical Mates framelits dies
Myths and Magic speciality DSP
Stampin Blends
1/8" handheld punch
Elastic cord (from my stash)
Laminator

Cover for notebooks
DSP measuring 8 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Outside cover
DSP measuring 8 1/4"x 5 1/2" score on the long side at 3 3/4", 4", 4 1/4" and 4 1/2"

For full instructions I've done a tutorial on YouTube, I will leave the link below.

I hope you like this project as much as I do and thanks for looking.

Xmas socks gift box with acetate front

Hi everyone

I'm back today with this beautiful gift box. I bought a pair of cosy socks from my local pound shop and decided to make a gift box for them.

I really love how you can take something so little and turn it into something beautiful with the right packaging.

I hope you will agree that this box gives a luxurious feel and I'm so pleased with how it turned out.

I have used the Merry Music DSP, foil snowflakes, gold foil, black shimmer ribbon and the gold faceted gems...all of which are available from Stampin Up.

I have done a video tutorial showing you how I made this project...please find the link below.

Quilted Christmas biscuit gift box

Hi everyone

I hope you are all well. Today's project is this lovely gift box that holds a tin of shortbread biscuits.

I don't normally use red and gold together as I prefer using silver. I have to admit though I love how this box turned out, especially with the little pop of Emerald Envy too.

I've used the Quilted Christmas DSP, The Little things stamp set and the ribbon is the crinkled seam binding ribbon.

I hope you like this project as much as I do. I will leave the link below to my video tutorial for all of you that would like to see how I made it.

Hi everyone,

Sorry it's been a while since my last project...I've been busy at work. I love this treat bag as I think it looks so elegant.

I know I would be over the moon to receive a gift like this.

I've used the Merry Little Xmas DSP along with Merry Little labels stamp set and coordinating Everyday Label punch, a silver foil snowflake and 1/8" silver ribbon.

I have uploaded a tutorial on youtube showing how I made it. If you would like to check it out I will leave the link below for you.

Merry Music window candle box using Stampin Up supplies

Good evening everyone, I hope you are all well.

Here is my latest project for you all. These beautiful heart shaped candles I got from a shop called Tiger, I got 8 in a pack for only £2! What a bargain. They had them in this lovely pink colour and also in a red. I decided to opt for non traditional xmas colours by bringing in Melon Mambo.

I'm so pleased I did as I love the black/ pink colour combo. Let me know what you all think in the comments.

I used the Merry Music speciality DSP from Stampin Up as well as the Sweet and Sassy Framelit dies.

I've uploaded a tutorial to youtube for those of you who would like to make one of these boxes, here is the link below:

I just want to thank all of you that follow my blog or have subscribed to my youtube channel....it means so much to me.

I know I've been a bit MIA lately but I'm going to try my best to be around more often.

Thanks for looking and enjoy your day wherever you are.
