3D Vignettes were introduced almost 2 years ago and along the journey, our readers have begged us not to abandon the concept but to keep adding on. As always, your wish is our command! Introducing 3D Vignette Mini-Albums. When the first 3D Vignettes came out, we fashioned them into mini albums using the familiar side piece and slots but now we've made it permanent with a Universal Hinge. Plus we've added a whole collection of dies you can use inside the mini-album including two new shaped card profiles and a new Cinch and Go Cottage Bloom Flower that can be used as a dimensional flower or a flat flower inside the mini-album. Stay tuned as you see a mini-album from each Creative Team Member and card that highlights one of the dies used in the mini-album.
About 3D-Vignette Mini Albums
When the response to the first 3D Vignette cards turned into mini albums blog hop brought such a positive response, readers asked for more. Becca designed an easy to fold Universal Hinge that makes it easy to convert your 3D Vignette cards into Mini Albums. Staying true to her mix and match budget sensibility, of course, all of the elements of this new collection can be used to make flat cards, can be used with original 3D Vignette designs, and older 3D Vignette dies can be refreshed and used with the mini-albums.
Best of all, if you have ever been too overwhelmed to create a mini-album or a scrapbook page, take heart. Since your choices are mix and match, we've taken all of the guess work out. The small format is card-sized which makes it do-able for those of you accustomed to working on a small card size project. We've made albums that are tiny up to 6 x 6" and 8 x 8.
My Projects For Today
Here is what a few of the dies that i have highlighted in my mini-album actually look like.
For my project today I made a 6x6 mini fold out "Ancestry themed" album. I used heavy card stock to create a base for my book and then added layers in it that can fold out and have flaps to add more pictures. This was such a fun project to make with these dies and I had so much fun adding all of them to all of my pages. I can't say enough good things about these dies.
As you can see in this picture above i also added the universal spine and added a few pages made from the
Grand Vaulted Cabinet. You can also use the smaller pieces in the other sets from this new collection for decorative accents on the pages.
And here i just used the decorative spine piece to make one of those accents much like you could do with a card front. It adds that perfect bit of decoration to the piece.
And for this center page on the left i did a larger flip page using the
Double Halo Oval for a frame for my picture and on the front of the lower flap i used the
Woven Trellis Border to decorate it.
This is a good shot to show all the things going on in this book. Each of the flaps folds in on each other to close and keep all the memories of my family in a safe place.
In addition, I've made a card using the same die I used in my mini album. For my card i used one of the gorgeous spine dies to create a textured back round for my card by cutting 3 of them and gluing them on the base that is also pale pink.
As you can see above the delicate design adds such a beautiful texture to the card and just by adding a vintage handmade rose to match it all goes together so well.
For my flower i used the Cinch and Go Vintage Rose die and added some extra leaves and stamens to match. I also used a tiny matching silk ribbon to give it a corsage kind of look. I so love this card ! Well that's all for my share but be sure and hop to all the other girls to see how they used their dies.
I know you are just going to love this hop!!
