FARMHOUSE SHAKER TAG MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hey Crafty Friends, it’s Conny! I’m excited to share my latest project featuring the charming Farmhouse collection. One of my main inspirations came from the beautiful 12 x 12 Double-Sided Buffalo Plaid paper. I particularly loved the side with tags, which was a perfect template for creating the additional tags throughout my mini album. The rustic and cozy feel of the plaid really brought my project to life, and I can’t wait for you to see how it all came together!

Here's how I put it together!  I began with a template measuring 5 7/8" x 3 1/2".  I cut all my papers from the 6x6 paper pad or used scraps left over from my last project. Additionally, I utilized some Heavy Clear Acetate to create the templates for my shaker tags.

For the next step, I used my sewing machine to seal three sides of the tag. Then, I added a mix of shaker elements, including Shades of Fall and Fall Flowers Shakers, as well as some Tangerine Shakers. For extra flair, I included round sequins in bumblebee and cupcake. After adding the sprinkles to the clear acetate, I sewed the top of the tag shut using my sewing machine.

For the shaker cover, I embellished it with flowers from the Bits & Pieces, along with some Puffy Icon Stickers and the Turkey Time Doodle-Pop. I also added the Mini Maple Little Charmer to the ribbons. Inside the mini album, I decorated further and included photo mats that measure 3 1/4" x 4 1/4". Additionally, I incorporated a few smaller tags from the Bits & Pieces and added pom-pom ribbons for extra detail.

I added shakers as covers and one in the middle of my mini-album. My mini-album has about seven pages, but you can definitely add more. Have you ever created a mini-tag album before? I would love to see you give this project a try! You can hand stitch and create different fun patterns if you don't have a sewing machine. Make it enjoyable and uniquely yours!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I love sharing with you all my creative ways of making projects. Xo Conny!

FARMHOUSE MINI TAG ALBUM | With Traci

Hello friends! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a super cute tag shaped mini album titled Give Thanks. At only 2x4 inches, it's such a fun and small size! I created it with the colorful Farmhouse Collection and thought it would make a great little holiday project and gift idea for Thanksgiving!

To make this, I started with the 12x12 patterned tag sheet titled Give Thanks. I cut apart each tag and decided which sides I would use for the album's pages. I glued 16 of them back-to-back to create 8 sturdy pages. Then, I punched a binding hole in each one.

On the front cover, I added the "Let's Give Thanks" title from 6x6 pattern paper called Country Quilt. The word strips fit perfectly across the tags. The scalloped border is a sticker from the This & That sheet and the little enamel heart is from the Love This sprinkles.

Inside, I embellished each "page" with a fun mix of photo mats, cards from the 6x6 Country Quilt paper, die cut pieces (Odds & Ends, Chit Chat, and Bits & Pieces), This & That stickers, and lots of cute sprinkles.

 

Some of the tags were so cute, they didn't need a thing! So, I left them as is and they made perfect little decorative pages. Check out the one above with the mixer, bowls, and turkey.

I also added a journaling spot. Here I used the clipboard from the Bits & Pieces. I trimmed it down a bit to fit the tag, then added the sunflower from the Odds & Ends and another heart sprinkle.

Look how cute this page is. I created a little flippie with another card from the 6x6 Country Quilt pattern paper. Inside, I added a colorful plaid and space for 2 small photos.

Even a mini album as tiny as this one can still have a pocket! I used a stamp shaped piece from the Chit Chat to create this one. I adhered it to the tag on 3 sides and left the center open. Then, I tucked some little banner pieces inside for journaling about things I'm grateful for. 

These enamel birds are from the Feathered Friends sprinkles. They add a great pop of color and shine to this simple tag. And I love, love, love the cute animals on the next one. It's a Thanksgiving totem! 🧡

This tiny Give Thanks tag album was so much fun to create with the Farmhouse Collection. It's little size and shape is something different and makes such a cute gift idea.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll give this project a try. Happy scrappin'! 😊

FARMHOUSE BIG TAG MINI ALBUM | with Kathy

I will confess that Fall is my most favorite season.  I love the colors, the crisp air, big sweaters.... all of it!  So when the Farmhouse collection came out, I was beyond excited!  One of the first papers I was drawn to was the Buffalo Check paper, and the "b" side with all the fun big tags!  I knew I was going to have to make a mini album with them.  Take a peek.... 

I started by making a chipboard cover for my mini.  I cut chipboard (2 cover pieces measuring 4 5/8" x 6 1/4", and one piece 1 3/8" x 6 1/4 for the spine.  I covered the pieces with the Country Quilt plaid paper for the outside cover.  On the inside I used a piece of Teal Textured Cardstock to cover.  I decorated my cover with die cuts from the Odds & Ends pack, some mini icons and some Flower Farm Shaped Sprinkles.  I added the pup from the mini Icons to look like he was in the truck.

I punched a hole on the right side of the inside cover.  To measure for it, I cut out all of the tags from the Buffalo Check paper, then lined one up on the inside of the book to see where to punch my hole.  I added a teal book ring from my stash.  On the left side of the inside cover I added a photo matt and elements from the Bits & Pieces Pack.

Now it was time to add my pages.  I used all 6 tags from the back of the Buffalo Check paper.  I then cut tags from coordinating Sprinkles Petite Prints and sewed them to the back of the tags.  All that was left was to decorate!

I used lots of elements from the This & That Stickers, Puffy Icons, Odds & Ends, Chit Chat pieces and Bits & Pieces along with photo matts.

I also used some of the cut-apart journaling spots from the "b" side of the Woodland Berries Paper as well as some cut apart 3x4 cards from the Country Quilt paper.

On a few of the pages, I stitched on some of the tabs from the Bits & Pieces.

Of course I had to make a shaker!  I love the adorable leaves and acorns in the Shades of Fall Shakers.  I also added some coordinating Doodlebug Sequins.

The smaller tags are from the Bits & Pieces pack.  They were fun to decorate and I love the extra detail they add.

This really was a fun mini to put together... and so easy to do with all the goodies in the Farmhouse collection!  I put together this flip through of my mini so you can see it in action!   

That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

HOMETOWN USA TAG MINI ALBUM | with Kathy

I love tag projects, and Doodlebug makes it so easy to create a fun little tag mini!  I used the Hometown USA collection to create this fun album, the perfect place to document your fun 4th of July memories. Take a peek...

To create the book, I used a combination of items from the collection.  I started with a tag cut from the Tag You're It paper for my cover.  It's embellished with a the silver 4th and Let's Celebrate tag from the Chit Chat pieces, some silver Alphabet Soup letters and some Star Spangled Shaped Sprinkles.

I covered the back of the tag with some Petite Prints, and added a journaling spot from the the 6x6 pad and some Patriotic Assortment jewels.  I made a fun tassel using the Red, White & Blue Doodle Twine and added the Stars & Stripes Little Charmer charm.

One of the things I love about a tag mini album is that you can add all sorts of embellishments as "tags."  For my mini I added some acetate fireworks from the Bits & Pieces, some Odds & Ends as well as some big words from the Chit Chats.

I also cut a couple of tags from the Festive Fireworks Heavy Weight Acetate and added a journaling circle on each side.  They add such a fun look!

Here are the remaining pages.  They include tags and elements from the Odds & Ends, Chit Chat and Bits & Pieces packs.  I also added photo spots using papers from the 6x6 pad and lots of shaped sprinkles!

My mini is all ready for my 4th of July Photos!  Have you made any projects using the Hometown USA Collection?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook & Instagram, we love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!
