Good morning Clear Scraps friends.
Today I'm going to share with you how I created my Time Flies Purse mini album. For your convienance, you can download the tutorial in a PDF file here or as a word document, Download Embossed Purse Album.
To start, grab your embossing adhesive, powder, and heat gun – Emboss the covers front and back, then around the edges of album pages on inside.
Cut out lady on bike and love potion 45 panels from the Vintage Voyage paper. Trim the background all away from lady on bike, all the way down to her arms. Cut off overhang flush with bottom of album.
Using craft knife and cutting mat, remove inside tick tock panel from frame. Save the blue & orange frame for another project later on.
Add pop dots to back of lady on bike, and adhere to the tick tock clock card.
Cut out clock flying clock from Nevermore paper; tuck the clock behind right wing on lady. From sticker sheet, adhere round orange button beneath left wing. Adhere this to front of purse album.
Add distress ink around edges of album and dot in viva décor pen as shown above, set aside to dry.
Once your album cover is dry, arrange your mini album back in place. This is the point where I mess up if I am not thinking about order. The easiest way for me to remember how something will be adhered to the page is to place the album in front of me as it would be once completed. This way I avoid gluing papers or photos in the album upside down. :)
Trim six papers of your choice to 4 ½” x 3” – ink edges if desired. Adhere papers inside your album pages.
Now comes the fun of adding photos and embellishing. I was able to include 11 photos in this fabulous Clear Scraps chipboard album. I printed 6 photos out at 2" x 2", 2 photos at 2" x 4", 2 photos at 2" x 3 1/2", and one 4" x 3" photo.
Flip over cover and adhere two photos sized 2” x 4”, the Full Moon
cutout from Nevermore paper,
and a sticker from sticker sheet.
Slide
the 4” x 3” photo beneath twine and adhere. Add a photo corner sticker, and border
sticker.
Adhere two 2” x 2” photos to next two album pages. Embellish with cut outs from pattern papers and sticker sheet.
Create one page (or more if you like the look) of just cut out embellishments and journal spots from your pattern papers.
Adhere two more 2” x 2” photos and embellish.
Add two 2” x 3 ½” photos and embellish.. there is not right or wrong here. :)
Final page, adhere 4” x 3” photo and embellish.
This kit has been one of my favorites! Thanks so much for stopping in today with me, and I will see you again soon to share some more projects using this fabulous kit!
Thank you for the pdf. It is so nice to download it so I can use it while making the project. I love the October kit!
