Wait till you see these pretty papers and adorable Creative diecuts from Uniquely Creative "Serenity " collection! Here's what's included in this month's Card kit: Uniquely Creative "Serenity " 6x6 pack of patterned papers ( 2 of each) perfect size for Cards, Tags and so much more! You'll also receive a Slimline fold out album (which I'm creating today) Tres jolie Chipboard adorable Fairy's, Uniquely Creative Creative diecuts that are so cute and match perfectly with the papers. A Card Inspiration sheet to inspire you, a whole pack of Rectangle White Cards and Envelopes with cut apart sentiments, Crystal Bling gems, white satin ribbon and of course Prima marketing flowers! This kit is jammed packed! Be sure to order yours now before they are gone! Here's a photo of the Card kit:
From my stash I will be using: foam dots, adhesive tape, Distress Ink Gathered Twigs, stapler, flower gem, Holographic Embossing powder and Martha Stewart Carnation pink Embossing powder, bone folder, score board and Stickles Stardust glitter.
To begin our project, I cut a green gingham scrap paper to measure 4x2 inches, i also chose a Prima flower, 2 diecut fairies, a fairy dust sentiment from the Cards Envelopes pack, small tag, pink polka dot Scallop piece. See photo:
I adhered the green gingham paper as a pocket along the bottom edge. I and glued the polka dot pink scallop piece along the top edge of my pocket. See photo:
Take the Fairy Dust sentiment, and curl both ends using my bone folder (to create movement)inked along the edges.
Pocket Card: I cut out the purple floral tag from the Cards pack, I stapled two tickets from the Diecut package and glued on the top left corner on my tag. I fussycut out a butterfly and birthday words sentiment. I glued them both on my tag. Then tucked my pocket card into my pocket. See photo:
On the front of my pocket, I glued a small purple bow in the center and glued a mushroom diecut on the bottom. The Fawn and deer diecut pieces i adhered on both sides using foam dots! Here's a closeup look:
On the top of my Slimline album, I took one of the larger flower diecuts and with foam dots, I adhered in the center. I cut apart another floral diecut into several pieces see photo:
I tucked these behind my larger flower diecut and glued in place. I added the two fairy diecuts with foam dots, glued my Prima purple roses in the center and my sentiment at the top. I added a few Uniquely Creative Crystals to finish. Here's a closeup photo:
Taking the white ribbon from the kit, I wrapped a piece leaving two tails (on right side) long enough to tie into a bow. I applied some adhesive tape and adhered my ribbon all around my Slimline album. See photos:
Backside:
Now open your Slimline album to the two front flaps: on the right side I made a side pocket from a piece of the green gingham paper. Cut your paper to measure 4 & 3/8 x 4 & 3/8. See photo:
Score your paper on 3 sides at 1/2inch. See photo:
Trim off one corner see photo:
Now line up your paper on the 1 inch mark on your score board. Then cut diagonally. See photo:
Fold on scored lines and glue as a diagonal pocket on the left bottom edge. See photo:
On the front of this pocket, I added a Diecut sentiment, bunny and purple bow. I cut out a tag from the Cards paper pack, taking a 3 & 1/2 inch of white ribbon, I folded and glued at the top of my tag, to make it easy to pull out of your pocket. With foam dots I added a cute fairy diecut, crystals and glued a flower button from my stash at the top. I applied some Stickles Stardust glitter on the fairy wings and dress. Here's some photos!
On the opposite page, I created another diagonal pocket as we did on our other page. Score and cut as before using the the green stripe paper.
On the front, I glued a butterfly, bunny and diecut sentiment. Next I created a pocket card, using the paper insert that was inside our Slimline fold out album package. Here is a photo what I will be using:
Cut off the top portion and trim the remaining piece to measure 3 & 3/4 x 5 & 5/8 inches. See photos:
Cut one piece of purple gingham paper to measure 3 & 3/4 x 3 & 3/8 inches. Cut a piece of Woodgrain paper to 3 & 3/4 x 5 inches. Here's a photo:
Glue the Woodgrain paper above the pocket and the purple gingham on the bottom. See photo:
I chose a sentiment, deer and mushroom diecut pieces and cut out a lilacs tag and bee hive ticket from the Diecut package. See photo:
Staple the ticket and a ribbon element piece underneath your ticket on the small tag. Using foam tape, I adhered my sentiment, deer and mushroom on the front of my pocket card. Slide your small tag inside your pocket card.Here's a photo:
Now open up the Slimline album so all remaining 4 panels are visible. On both the far left and far right flaps on the ends, I glued and created 2 long pockets. You could store a birthday invitation, extra photo cards or tags. See photo:
On the left side pocket, I cut out a sentiment from the sentiment sheet from your Cards and Envelopes pack. I glued it at the top. On the bottom, I cut 3 fence pieces and 2 small long wo9d pieces all from the Woodgrain paper. I just cut these freehand no measuring. Glue the fence pieces over the 2 smaller pieces. See photo:
With foam dots I adhered the fence at the bottom edge on my side pocket. I glued the owl and raccoon diecut pieces on the fence and a dragonfly above.
On the next panel, I created another pocket and glued a piece of white ribbon along the top of my pocket.
I glued a sentiment, fussycut porcupine and some crystal gems. At the top of this panel, I took the coversheet from the paper pack,
and cut out 3 pendant flags, see photo:
and using foam dots I adhered these at the top! I made a bookmark from a purple gingham scrap, I glued a leftover polka dot piece along the top edge. I also cut out another sentiment and chose a diecut fairy. The fairy i adhered using foam dots on the backside. I glued my sentiment above my fairy. Slide your bookmark into your pocket flap. See photos:
Next panel, I matted a birthday photo onto the purple confetti paper. Trim. I took 3 diecut tickets and glued together overlapping each other. See photo:
I created another diagonal pocket I glued a sentiment at the bottom edge on my diagonal pocket, added a Diecut fairy with foam dots and a few crystals.
Now take one of the Tres Jolie chipboard fairies from your kit. On the fairy wings i applied some Versamark Clear ink and sprinkled some Holographic Embossing powder over top. Heat emboss. On my fairy, I applied Versamark Clear ink and Martha Stewart Carnation pink Embossing powder. Heat emboss. See photo:
With foam dots I adhered my chipboard fairy at the top of my side pocket.
On my bottom of my side pocket I cut out a small tag, scored 1/2 inch at the top and adhered at the bottom. I also fussycut a matching lilac piece and adhered over top with foam dots and a birdie and sentiment on the front. I added a small photo underneath my flip up tag.
Here's some photos:
