TINSEL TIME FOLIO ALBUM | with Conny

Hey Crafty Friends, it's Conny here, sharing a lovely folio album made with the new Tinsel Time Collection. For this folio, I wanted to create spaces for all the Christmas photos we take during this festive season. If you don't have a chipboard, don't worry—you can still recreate this album!

Let's get started. I began with five pieces of chipboard to create a solid structure. From left to right, the sizes of the chipboard pieces are 3.5" x 8.5", 1" x 8.5", 5.5" x 8.5", 1" x 8.5", and 4.5" x 8.5". The sizes of the pieces used to wrap the chipboard are also in the same left-to-right order: 10 1/8" x 4 3/4", 10 1/8" x 2.5", 10 1/8" x 7 1/8", 10 1/8" x 2.5", and 6 1/8" x 10 1/8". You can refer to the picture below.

To cover the chipboard, you will need a patterned piece measuring 8.5" x 12". I used the Dashing Deer paper for this; however, you'll also need an additional piece measuring 8.5" x 5" from the Tree Trimmings collection. Start by adhering the longest piece from left to right, then place the shorter one on top right of the album (To cover inside chipboard).

Now, let's move on to the first folded page in the album, which is attached to the first spine ( 1" x 8.5"). I trimmed the Snow Bright paper to 10.5" x 8". Score this piece at 5/8", 4", and 7 1/4". Here, I added various bits and pieces, including mini icon stickers. I also created a little pocket for tags using the "Admit One" North Pole ticket and a few journaling cards.

For the pages in the middle between the spines, cut two pieces measuring 8 1/4" x 5 1/2" and score each one at 1/2" on the 5 1/2" side. Place one on the left and one on the right. Inside, I added another page measuring 5" x 8 1/4" and scored it at 1/2" on the 5" side. I adhered this page to the next, following the left page. After matting with coordinated cardstock sized at 8 1/4" x 4 1/2", I added more journaling cards and various embellishments from the collection.

On the right base, I created six flat waterfall pages using white cardstock cut to 3 1/2" x 5". Score on the longest side at 1/2" and adhere one after the other. I matted these pages with paper from the 6" x 6" paper pad and used journaling cards and puffy stickers, leaving the back of each card open for 3" x 4" photos. You can embellish even more if you like!

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

TINSEL TIME GIFT BOX | with Jen

This time of year we always need a simple gift for a neighbor or friend. Today I have for you a fun gift box using the new Tinsel Time collection!

The finished box measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" and is 6" tall. Once you learn how to make this it's very easy to resize for almost any gift!

Around the base I used the swag pieces from the Tinsel Time Bits and Pieces. I matted everything with papers from the 6x6 paper pad.

On the top I used the Merry and Bright Doodle Cuts Die to make the little snow globe into a shaker. Rather than cut out the Santa that comes with the die set I used Mini Icons to build my scene. They're the perfect size for the inside of the snow globe!

Want to make your own gift box? A full tutorial is available on my YouTube channel and is also below.

Have a great day!

HEY PUMPKIN ENVELOPE ALBUM | with Conny

Hello Spooky Friends, It's Conny, and I'm excited to share a fun project using the Hey Pumpkin Collection with you. Today, I'll be creating an envelope mini album. To make this project, you will need a 1-2-3 Punch Board.  Additionally, I decided to create a sturdy chipboard base to hold the envelopes together. This will ensure that the mini album is durable and long-lasting. Get ready for a creative and enjoyable crafting session!

I started by selecting two patterned papers and two solid textured cardstock. Then, I trimmed them to 8 3/8" and followed the 1-2-3 punch directions to create the envelopes.

After that, I wrapped the chipboard pieces with beetle black cardstock. The chipboard pieces measure 6 1/2" x 4 1/2" for the covers and 2" x 6 1/2" for the spine. I used the 6" x 6" paper pad from the Hey Pumpkin Collection to cover the front of both covers and added stitching with my sewing machine.

To assemble the covers and spine, I used a piece of cardstock measuring 4 1/2" x 6 1/2". I scored the paper on the shorter side at 1 1/4" and 3 1/4", and positioned the spine in the middle. For the hinges, I used cardstock from the textured cardstock assortment pack from the Hey Pumpkin Collection. I used  two pieces measuring 6 1/4" x 2 1/2" and 6 1/4" x 2". For the 6 1/4" x 2 1/2" piece, I scored at 1/2" and 2". For the 6 1/4" x 2" piece, I scored at 1/2" and 1 1/2". I adhered the larger one first in the middle of the spine and then adhered the smaller one on top, and that gave me my four hinges. Finally, I glued the envelopes to the hinges. I glued them all going the same way, but you could do facing each other too!

Inside the mini-album, I added a card that can hold photos. The paper for this one measures 8 1/2" x 6" and scored on the longest side at 4 1/4", folded and placed inside the envelopes. I added a few photo mats for the back of the envelopes to hold 3" x 4" or 3 1/2" x 5" photos. I embellished the inside, and I used Odds & Ends, Chit Chats, bits & Pieces and doodle-pops for the cover page. You can watch the process on my YouTube Channel. Thank you for stopping by! Xo Conny!

HEY PUMPKIN LET'S PARTY MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hey Crafty Friends, It's Conny here with the Hey Pumpkin Collection, featuring an album ready to be filled with fun memories. Let's do some prep before we get started. Here, you can find everything you need to build the base and inside pages.

Let's get started! First, you will start with the chipboard covers and spine by wrapping them with black cardstock. Here's what you'll need:- (2) Chipboard pieces measuring 8 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches - (1) Chipboard piece measuring 8 1/4 x 2 inches- (2) Black Cardstock pieces measuring 7 x 9 3/4 inches for the covers- (1) Black Cardstock piece measuring 3 1/2 x 9 3/4 inches for the spine. Position your chipboards in the middle of the papers, leaving approximately 3/4 of an inch of space around the chipboard. Apply a small amount of glue or double-sided tape, then miter the corners and wrap all three chipboards.

To bind the album, you will need (1) Black Cardstock piece measuring 5 x 8 1/8 inches. Score it at 1 1/2 and 3 1/2 inches. Place the spine in the middle. After placing the wrapped chipboard spine in the middle of this piece, you will end up with 1.5 inches on both sides, which is where you will adhere your front cover and back cover to the spine. I used double-sided tape and liquid glue, leaving about 1/8 of an inch from the spine. Place your covers on both sides of the hinges - make sure that they are in the order of front cover, spine, and then back cover.

Let's move on to the inside of the album to cover the chipboard.- (2) Inside Covers: 5 3/8 x 8 1/8 inches Papers: Moonlight Magic, Plaid It's Halloween- (1) For the spine: 1 7/8 x 8 1/8 inches - Peek-a-Boo Paper. The album's front cover features a waterfall cascading down the pages. (7) 5 x 3 1/4 inches - Score at 1/2 - Waterfall. Apply glue to the 1/2" scored part and stack the pages under each other. I matted the pages using a few papers from the collection. Let's move on to the spine pages. You will need 3 pages of black cardstock measuring 10 1/2 x 8 inches, scored at 5 x 5 1/2 inches. Adhere the pages to the spine one after another, leaving about 1/8 inch between the pages. They all have a 1/2 inch spine, and the pages are 5 x 8 inches after they have been glued to the base. You will end up with six pages. I matted the pages to 4 3/4 x 7 3/4 inches.

To embellish the cover page, I used the Hey Pumpkin paper and one of the shaker tags I created on my last project using Hey Pumpkin. You can find the blog post here .

The pages can hold 2x2, 3x4, 4x6 photos, and even larger photos. It's all up to you how you like to decorate the pages. Thank you so much for stopping by. 

Happy Haunting. Xo Conny!

HEY PUMPKIN COORDINATING CARDS & ENVELOPES MINI ALBUM | with Jen

Happy Halloween! I love finding new ways to use the Doodlebug Card and Envelope packs. Today I used one of my 5x7 acrylic albums and the cards and envelopes to make a simple album.

On the cover I used one of the cute Hey Pumpkin Bits and Pieces. There are several images in that set that are mirrored, making them perfect for acrylic and acetate.

Inside I used several card to make flaps and interactive elements. I decorated with the Hey Pumpkin Icon stickers. I also used an envelope to make a fun place to tuck tickets or wristbands from the corn maze or haunted house! On the envelope I used the Good Spirits Doodle Cuts die set to make a little night scene. I cut the tree so that it's split where the envelope opens.

On one card I used a Chunky Brad in Beetle Black with the little View master piece from the Bits and Pieces to make it turn. I decorated it with Mini Icon stickers and Puffy Icon spiders.

I have a full process video on how to use the cards and envelopes and how to decorate an acrylic album here.

HEY PUMPKIN SLIDER CARD TUTORIAL | with Kathy

It's fall, and you know what that means??  A Doodlebug Halloween Collection!!  The Hey Pumpkin collection is so spooky-cute, I couldn't wait to play!  Of course I immediately thought of an interactive card... take a peek...

I started with one of the cute houses from the Odds & Ends Pack.  I wanted to make it into a slider.  The tab is one of the new tab stickers you can find on the This & That Sticker Sheet.

And when you pull the tab, you get lots of fun things!  A ghost pops up from the top of the house, the little spider drops down from his perch and you get a spooky sentiment.  The ghost is from the Odds & Ends, the spider from the Puffy Icon stickers and the sentiment is from the This & That Sticker sheet.

I love how the little spider drops down!  It's a fun surprise.

The ghost is so sweet, I also added a cloud from the mini icon stickers and the Sprinkle Moon is from the Halloween Night Shape Sprinkles.

Of course I had to add the super cute black kitty in a pumpkin...he's from the Mini Icon Stickers.  I also added some candy corn sprinkles from the Sweet Treats Shape Sprinkles.

Here is a video short of my card in action

And if you want to make your own... I have a full video tutorial here.

If you make one, make sure to tag me and Doodlebug on socials!  We'd love to see it!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!
