Tutorial: Folder scrapbook album | Liana Suwandi

Hi there, it's Liana today I'm so excited sharing a tutorial project with you. I have a lot of old stuff lying around my scrapbook's room. One of them is a notecard packaging from my previous design team. It’s an upcycle from a notecard packaging into folder scrapbook album. 

 

Here's a tutorial so that you could make for your friends.

The original notecard packaging 

Into romantic/beautiful folder scrapbook album

To start, tear off the inside box and paper as shown. Measure and cut slightly bigger to fold

  Wrap the front cover with Mother Nature Point of time MN63. Tips… I’d always use my bone folder to create crisp look.

       Cover the inner page with another pattern paper, add edger punch before gluing down together.  Using crop a dile, punch 2 hole to insert fastenator.

Stitch with machine all over the side (front only). 

Start embellish the cover by adding washi tape, tag, stamps, decoupage butterfly FD87

 I used some older chipboard, spray with adhesive, pour some fragment mica into it.

       With some additional of glass bead into it before adhere this chipboard into the cover page.

    Start layering the cover with folded doily, chipboard, decoupage butterflies, heart sticker, pearl combo, lace trimming.

 To make the inner page, cut paper 6”x12”. Score at 4.5"x9” as shown.

Using any gaffer tape, adhere on the top side and make 2 holes to insert the page.

Using imprint cardmaking, adhere into the inner page, tie bow from 3 different kinds of ribbons as shown.

The finished product...

Some kind of wonderful...

Hi everyone, it's me Carrie. Today I am sharing with you an older photo of my daughter. I loved this photo so much I wanted to print it bigger and put some kind of special look to it. I cropped the photo into 4's and printed each quarter and pieced the together. I love the look of the lines through the photo and the Ruby Rock-It Arcadia line along with bits and pieces of the Reminisce and Mother Nature was just the right amount of softness to highlight my photo.

I also used some product that you see on a lot of my layouts. I can't stress enough how much I love the Decoupage. It really adds that something special to any layout.

Along with the wonderful RRBF products, Fiskars was kind enough to provide us with some of their wonderful punches. For this layout I used the Fiskars Flowers Border Punch

12 Years Later - By Lisa Webb

Hello lovelies.. Today I would like to share my layout I have done

using the lovely Bella Baby Boy Mini Theme Paperz.

This boy is the apple of my eyes as I was told 3 months after I had Danielle my daughter I would never be able to have any more children.  12 years later I gave birth to this special wee Prince.  My life is now complete.  I love the emotion in my daughters eyes here as she was crying with joy and sadness.  Joy to finally have her own little brother and sadness that it was not only her and I anymore.  She got over these emotions in 24 hrs.. but it was breathtaking to see it in her eyes.

I just love this range as it is so soft and beautiful.  I have used the cute Fiskars Lacy Double border Punch for the bottom of my rocking horse paper. So cute and just gives it such a cute finish.  I have also used my favorite Therm-O-Web 3D foam squares on the train and the mushroom for dimension.

This month we are featuring Fiskars awesome collection of punches.. They are fantastic and give papers a great border and totally change the look of a piece of paper. This is one of my favourite border punches I have used in this layout today. 

PRODUCT LIST:

Bella Baby Boy Mini theme Paperz - Snippets

Bella Baby Boy Mini Them Paperz - Picture Frame

Bella Baby Boy Mini Theme Ppaerz - Baby Boy Tot

Bella Cardstock Stickers - Baby Boy 

Fundamentals Cardmaking Embellishment Pack 

Fundamentals Cardmaking Pockets 

Thanks for dropping in today.. I have my Mum here from New Zealand for two weeks.. I picked her up at the airport tonight.  We get to celebrate Mothers Day together on Sunday for the first time in 15 years.  We are soo excited.

Happy Mothers Day to you all out there.

Happy scrapping.. Lisa x

 

Mother Nature Shadow Box by Becky Olsen

A shadowbox is a great way to build a scene or highlight an image that has special meaning. In this version I wanted use the soft and beautiful Mother to take show off the gorgeous colors and textures of the delightful Bird Decoupage pieces. 

I built the box from the "Harmony" sheet of Mother Nature, then used the Fiskars "Bubble" Border Punch to finish off the edges.

A few images were fussy cut from the "Flutterby" sheet and than layered inside the box for the base dimension.

After that I adhere the Decoupage components with Therm-O-Web 3D Foam Squares for extra visual impact. The sentiment on the banner is the Petites Gold letter stickers.

Ruby Rock-It May Sketch & Fiskars

Hi Everyone! It's Lisa Novogrodski here today  I am sharing a layout I created for Ruby Rock-It featuring the beautiful sketch for May as my inspiration.

Ruby Rock It is teaming up with Fiskars this month and I used two of their punches on my project! This photo is of my Mother in Law back in the day! I've created my layout in honor of the upcoming Mothers Day!

I used the Lace Fiskars Punch on the corner of the Ecklectique Mini Pack Paper.

All of my flowers were created with Stamps . I used Distress Inks to color the flowers and leaves.

Ruby Rock It has some great embossed cardstock selections. I used the Hexagon cardstock here and sanded off some of the design.

Fiskars has a wonderful Notebook border punch. I've used purple cardstock and tucked the notebook punched edge into my photo layering.

Thank you for taking the time to visit today! I hope you are inspired to try your hand at the sketch this month!
