HELLO AGAIN ENVELOPE ALBUM | With Traci

Hey guys! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a flower-filled "Friends" mini album. I made it with the beautiful Hello Again Collection and some simple white envelopes. I love, love, love this new collection. It has so many gorgeous embellishments to choose from, so ... I just packed a little bit of everything into this mini!🌸

I used five 6.5"x 5" envelopes, all facing pocket side up. Since I wanted to fill the cover with these colorful flower die cuts, I knew I would lose the first pocket. But this cover is so pretty ... it was totally worth it! 

At the bottom, I added the "friends" title from the Chit Chat, gold foil scalloped washi tape from the original Hello Collection, and a pink border sticker from the This & That.

The Bits and Pieces include such pretty flowers, leaves, and shapes AND some have gold foil on them! I layered them at the top and added lots of shiny enamel sprinkles. I added the year with metallic gold Alphabet Soup puffy stickers and finished it off with the Fancy Flutters butterfly Doodle-pops. I love it all!

Inside, I covered each page with a different 12x12 print. Here, I used the Butterfly Garden paper and added back-to-back matching die cuts at the top. I included another butterfly Doodle-pops, some tiny metallic gold hearts from the Hello Love shape sprinkles, and the "best friends forever" sticker from the This & That.

The love the smaller sized prints in the 6x6 paper pad. I used one of the journaling cards from it on the page above. The pretty butterfly is from the Odds & Ends and I added a gold enamel dot on the butterfly for more shine. 

On this page, I chose a fabulous tag and more flowers from the Bits & Pieces, some twine, and a few gold hearts and dots. Like I said, I added a little bit of everything and it was so much fun!

I lined the inside of the pockets with beautiful pattern papers and included a card for photos, journaling, or memorabilia. Here, I added a cute "memories" sticker (This & That sheet) to a tab from the bits & pieces and a pink border sticker from the same sticker sheet. 

On this pocket, I created a little neighborhood scene. To make it a bit more to scale, I mixed pieces from the Odds & Ends and mini icons stickers. So cute!

I hope my Friends envelope mini album inspires a cute project idea for you. The Hello Again Collection is just amazing and I love all the gold foil accents. Happy crafting everyone! 😊

OVER THE RAINBOW ENVELOPE ALBUM | With Traci

Hello friends! Traci here and today, I have a new mini album to share with you titled "Rainbow Kind of Day". It's made with colorful envelopes and cards from different Doodlebug collections and lots of Over The Rainbow goodies! What a fun project for spring. Take a look ...

I started by choosing 5 envelopes in bright colors, using the green one first. I covered the front of each envelope with white cardstock and added different 12x12 prints, embellishments, and photo mats. 

Next, I added the Flower Garden paper to the lower half of this envelope and lots of cute die cut pieces and sprinkles. The sun, rainbow, and cloud are from the Odds & Ends, the title piece is from Chit Chat, and the little red heart is from the puffy shapes.

I love this cute cloud raining colorful hearts! I used foam tape on the back side to lift it off the page a bit. Then, I added the enamel heart shaped sprinkles on top and a few tiny dots here and there. 

Inside, I lined each pocket with a colorful 12x12 print. In the photo above, I used the rainbow stripe called Shine Bright. I added the mushroom and fence pieces from the Odds & Ends, the "Love You" from the Chit Chat, and a few flower and ladybug enamel shape sprinkles.  

I tucked a title card, a journaling card, and one A2 sized card into each of the envelope's pockets. I added cute patterned papers to the A2 cards and they're perfect for holding 4 photos.

I gave this page one large mat for an awesome spring photo. How cute is that hot air balloon and the wee little gnome?!

I love the simple polka dot paper I lined this envelope with. The tiny dots are a quieter pattern next to the larger prints but it still adds color and whimsy! 

I hope this project inspires you to use envelopes and cards in a different way. And ... have fun playing with the amazing Over the Rainbow Collection! It's perfect for spring and will make you so happy!

CUTE & CRAFTY SEWING KIT | with Ashley

Hi All! Today I am sharing my first project using the adorable new Cute & Crafty collection. There are a lot of stitching elements in this collection so I decided to make a little on-the-go sewing kit. 

 

I started with 5 of the 12x12 patterned papers and turned them into little envelopes. I tucked the flap of one of the envelopes into the opening of another and repeated this process until I had a little booklet. 

From there I embellished using the sticker sheets, ephemera packs, and sprinkles from the collection. 

In each of the pockets, I tucked in some little on the go items you'd need in an emergency sewing kit. I have some thread, needles, buttons, and ribbon. The buttons and ribbons are from the Sweet Shoppe Assortment pack. I tried to keep it relatively flat so that it would still shut nicely, and there is still a little space for notes or small photos. 

I finished the front of the booklet with some shape sprinkles from the collection and some petite twine for a closure.  I hope you liked seeing this project. Happy Crafting!

LOVE NOTES ENVELOPE MINI ALBUM FLIP THROUH | with Traci

For this project I was inspired by an adorable piece from the Love Notes Odds & Ends collection.  The little envelope with the flowers popping out of the top is so cute, so I decided an album made of envelopes would be fun to create!

I made the album out of 6 A7 size envelopes.  Each page, including the cover, are open with the flap of the envelope folded out.  I cut paper for the inside and outside of each envelope by tucking a piece of 6 3/4" x 7 1/2" pattern paper into the envelope, tracing around the open flap, and cutting just inside my pencil line to create an internal offset.   Here is a video flip-through of the finished project!  

Thank you for letting me share my love of mini albums with you again today!  I would love to hear what you are creating with Love Notes!!
