Introducing 3D Vignette Mini-Albums

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

First up is S4-1031- Shapeabilities Decorative Edges and Spines Etched Dies 3D Vignette Mini Album Collection by Becca Feeken

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!!

Wedding Day Memories Mini Album

It's time for another share today with the 3D Vignette dies from Becca Feeken and Spellbinders.  All week we are sharing lots of ideas for mini books so be sure and stop over to all of our teams blogs this week to get inspired.  My book is a wedding flip book and inside there is lots of pages that flip up and out to put some of your favorite pictures in to save or give as a sweet gift for the bride and groom.  And it's really easy so grab a cup of coffee and i will walk you through it.

To start this project you will need a thin piece of 12x12 chipboard, a pencil and a paper trimmer.  Cut a piece of the chipboard that measures 10x 4 5/8.  Just cut one piece straight across.  Then score the chipboard on the ends at 4 1/4 inches like you see above just enough to make it bend.  Cover it with kraft paper to give it more stability on the inside and out.  ( i put light peach paper on the inside) Let that dry.

For the inside piece cut a 12 x12 piece of light peach paper and scor it 4" from both ends.  Then scor the inside 9 times at 1/2" to make the 4 folds like you see above.  You can make it fancier by die cutting the ends with the scallop part of the new "Tiered rosettes etched die set".  

Then glue the whole piece to the inside of the chipboard book like you see above.  

To make the inside pages you are going to cut 4 pieces of the peach paper to measure 7 1/2 x 4 1/4". fold them in half.  And to make the flaps on 2 of them i also cut 2 pieces of paper 3 3/8 x 8 1/4" and folded them in half.  Then i glued them on the right side with double sided adhesive only on the top of the back so that it will flip up for more pictures.  If you glue the pages in with double stick adhesive tape it will hold better and go faster. (I used to teach a flip folder scrapbook and it was the most fun project to do so this is just a mini one).

The flowers i made for the bottom are done using the "Petite Double Bow and flower etched die set and Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms die set.  This way all of it will match perfect since i use the same papers together.  

For the outside spine i used the Filigree Bookmark tag die and cut it out of ivory and trimmed it to fit on the outside edge of the book.  It adds the perfect swirls to accent the front die i think.  And then to keep the insides nice and tight i added a piece of white twine that i tied in a pretty bow with a tag to match. 

And here is what it looks like from the top so you can see inside the pages.  There is lots of room for pictures and you can decorate with some of your favorite dies from this new collection to match it.
