The Good Life - Seed Packet Album - Elizabeth Crafts

Hello Friends and welcome to my blog today. Today i am sharing with you a project I designed using the new Sidekick Release from Elizabeth Crafts. For those who know how much I love albums, i also love to create mini albums too.

This one is designed using the Seed Packet Die from Sidekick Essentials 16.

to begin with i cut the seed pack out five times using paper from 49 and Market. I cut vellum to go on the inside of the packet for the window. I cut out extras thinking i might make the album larger but ended up going with 5 packets instead of 8.

then i assembled them

I then cut the side panel from the same sidekick set and created the pages and continued to decorate them.

I love tags and cu tout a tag for each page just as an added layer and photo mat for some of my photos.

This tag was cut from Planner Essentials 2, which i also cut to go inside each opening of the Seed Packet page.

I am going to share images from this little mini and then add the dies i used below. Hope you enjoy this mini project.

And then details for the cover:

I cut doubles for the large floral and the medium size floral for the cover, two sets of leaves and then i used the skeleton leaf from the Sidekick Essential 16 set, i love how the florals shape so beautifully.

I hope i have inspired you to create a min album using this Seed Pocket Set,

it makes a perfect little mini album.

Hello Spring - Elizabeth Craft Designs

Hello Friends, and Hello Spring

A project i designed for the group post over at Elizabeth Craft Designs. The topic for todays project was Spring/Flowers.

I really wanted to do flowers but wanted to tie in some stamps too.

I used florals five for my flowers and set this on a 5.5 x 7.5 sheet of watercolor paper ( I used Canson) And i backed this onto a 6x8 flatboard canvas.

I covered the background watercolor paper with gesso, then heat set to dry then added some sprays. I added a bit of water to help tone the color down. Then i heat set again, once dry i stamped various images from the stamps listed below.

I created a water color background on an additional water color paper and die cut out two tags using the smaller tag die from Planner #26; and a circle using the Circle Dies.

I created a shaker out of the circle dies and used some shaker glitter from my stash. I didnt have a spring stamp, so i created the sentiment using my PTouch labeller.

I die cut the butterfly from the Butterfly Insert, colored it with distress ink and tucked it in my cluster of flowers.
