Scrapbooking Mini Album: Spectacular Girl

Hi everyone. This is a mini album I made in August for a little girl. I just learned how to post videos to my blog. Hurray.

Enjoy!

Altered Libreta (Notebook)

 The biggest sale day of the year is coming up. Wouldn't it be nice to remember what you're suppose to purchase-- in a fashionable way? As far as I can remember, my family has been participating in Black Friday. However, before we knew this day by such name we called it Midmorning Maddness. The problem on this day is not what to get, but recalling what one was suppose to purchase. This year I am ready! I created this beautiful Altered Libreta*** (notebook) to help me remember and prep for the day. 

***No new paper was harmed in the making of this notebook. All scraps!

 Hi everyone, I was bored Saturday night, watching TV and playing with my Gypsy. The end result is this paper bag. I used the Tag, Bag, Boxes & More and Paisley Cricut Cartridge. I thought it would be great for baby showers, party favors, etc. Hope you enjoy and let me know how yours turned out.

Dry Embossing and Stamping Tag

The 3” x 6” tag was lightly sprayed with water. Tag was placed between Cuttlebug Scroll embossing folder and the embossing folder was further sandwiched between cutting pad pair. The cutting pad pair was placed on Tab 2 of the Multipurpose Platform and rolled through the Sizzix Big Shot Machine. The tag was removed from Scroll embossing folder and Spiced Marmalade Stamping Ink was applied lightly to the embossed surface of tag using Tim Holtz Ranger Foam Ink Applicator. Once all embossed surfaces were covered, Pealed Paint Ink was used around the edges of tag. Using Pumice Stone ink stamp pad, ink was applied to PinkPaislee Impressions Cupid stamp of choice. Image was stamped along the right vertical side of tag.

Creating Dahlia Flower

Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Sizzix Die was used to create Dahlia floral image. Printed paper was placed on the foam side of the die and die was sandwiched between cutting pad. The cutting pad was rolled through Sizzix big Shott. Repeat this step 3 more times to obtain a total of 4 flowers. Metallic Amethyst Folk Art paint was used to high light leaves of each Dahlia die cut. Each Dahlia die cut was impressed, face down, into embossing stamp pad and each petal of Dahlia die cut was longitudinally folded in half. The Dahlia die cut then placed into embossing powder. The heat gun was used to melt and affix embossing powder unto Dahlia die cuts. The four Dhalia floral images were placed and hot glued to each other. Seven Crystallzz pearls were hot glued to the center of the Dhalia image and synthetic leaves were hot glued to the back of Dahlia image. 

Creating Butterflies

Butterflies (5) were punched out on DCWV Mariposa paper using the Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly Punch. All punched out images were impressed; face down, into embossing stamp pad. The Butterfly punched image was then placed into embossing powder and a heat gun was used to melt and affix embossing powder unto Mariposa cut outs. 

Imagination & Create Phrase

Imagination Phrase was attached to large stamp block. Image was placed face down into embossing stamp pad and stamped onto SEI 7” x 5” paper. Paper with stamped image placed in embossing powder tray and Tim Holtz Black Soot powder was sprinkled over paper with stamped image. Heat gun was then used to melt and affix distress powder to paper.  The edges of the SEI paper were torn to 2” x 4” to complete the look. 

Prepping Café Mediterranean Paper

Café Mediterranean paper was torn at a diagonal. The paper was lightly sprayed with paper and the surface was lightly filed.

Compiling the Tag

Café Mediterranean paper was adhered to the right bottom corner of 3” x 6” tag with Glue Glider Pro. Dahlia flower was adhered to left bottom of tag using hot glue gun. The Imagination phrase was adhered to middle left side of tag, at a slant, using Scotch double sided foam tape. Prima Say it with pearls was cut into pieces and attached liberally to tag. Embossed butterflies were hot glued to various parts of tag and 6” ribbon tied to tag.
