Hi friends and thank you so much for stopping by as always. It's hard to believe that we have moved into another month already and with that it's time to start getting ready for spring around our house.
Today i am sharing a cute little book that i created to put my granddaughters first Easter photos into this year. This is a really fun book to make with a little bit of chipboard and some envelopes, Becca's new Mini Book Dies and of course your favorite papers and stickers to decorate it with.
To make this book you will need 6 envelopes. You are going to make pockets out of these so seal them and then cut off the top 1" and set them aside. Then you can take some thinner chipboard that you can cut on your paper cutter and cut it so that there is a good border around the envelopes that you use for both the front and back. Make sure you also cut a chipboard spine and then use paper or tape to adhere them together like the book above looks.
This week my die that i am highlighting is called "Woven Trellis Side Pocket"
It's a bigger die and is great to use for larger pockets but you can also use it to add a gorgeous bit of detail to a project so i used it for the front of my book as you can see below. It's really pretty!!
Here is the inside of my book. After i got the papers glued down on the front and back sides of my book i added the envelopes that i covered on each of the sides in a stack of 3. You can go to 4-5 and it will still fit but i just did 3 on each side.
On top of each of the front envelopes i added a cute easter message on one side and then double cut the heart die in both aqua print and white and glued that on the other side to add more detail.
In each of the decorated envelopes i added a small circle that i die cut in a print and added a tiny button as a pull tab for each. The back ones i added a piece from the Woven Trellis Corners die set to give it a lacy detail on the back top edge. This was so very fun to make and i can't wait to take the pictures when my granddaughter comes to visit in a week! How exciting for all of us :)
This die is called "I carry your heart 3D layering die and i really love this one. If you have been stopping over each week you might have seen me use this one quite a few times.
