Pocket Page Mini Album

As promised yesterday, I will show you the inside of my mini album. I made six pocket pages to go inside, ( I made the pages first then made the cover as I find it easier that way). Each pocket has a tag/insert to go inside where you can either put a photo or journalling. As I said yesterday I had a great time decorating the pages using various techniques to give it a grungy look. I used the Epic Day DSP and colour scheme, focusing on crumb cake, pool party and calypso coral. I used morning post, just the ticket, six sided sampler and baby prints stamp sets and ticket, butterfly, hezagon and circle punches and chalk talk framelits.
Here is the inside cover and first page and pocket page.  Every right hand page also has a little pocket and tag.

 The next two pages: This picture shows the back of the insert. I decorated the backs of all the inserts but I'll only show you one side of each insert, other wise there will be a dozen photo's!

The next two pages, this one shows you the back of the insert

 Last double page:

Finally the last page and the inside of the back cover.

 This is the outside of the back cover, there is an extra strip of washi tape on this to cover where I had to cut the spine open as my hinge system didn't work as expected, more of that another time though.

This is the grid paper I used to cover the table, you can see I had a very inky time!

I haven't got this album anymore as I sent it to Stampin' Up! for the creative design contest, I really like it though and am contemplating making another one from the epic day DSP, not sure though as I've lots of other lovely DSP to try out.

Six Sided Sampler #4

This is the last of my six sided sampler cards. I used an idea from a US Demo Mary Fish to make the hexagon punch shape into a pocket, I am not sure how successful I was as a few people thought they were a set of men's undies (with frills - no comment!). I used some of the stretched ruffle ribbon - I love it - it is so stretchy.

The DSP is from Eastern Elegance and the sentiment is from Sassy Salutations.

Six Sided Sampler #3

Another card using the Six Sided Sampler stamp set and this years new in colours. I used crisp cantaloupe and pistachio pudding on a crumb cake card blank. This is a quick sweet little card and I think it would make a great new baby card with a different sentiment and colours.

I will share another six sided sampler card with you tomorrow.

Six Sided Sampler #2

Here is the second card I made using the six sided sampler stamp set and 13-15 in colours. I just stamped and punched out lots of hexagons then had fun sticking then on a piece of crisp cantaloupe card, *top tip it is a lot easier to stick the hexagons on and trim the edges before you stick it on your card blank, (isn't it Sue!).

I stamped the sentiment on a strip of whisper white card then punched it out using the hexagon punch.

Six Sided Sampler Thank You - Catalogue Case

Stampin' Up catalogues are great for giving us ideas on how to use the products. My thank you card is a case of the card on page 125 of the 13-14 annual catalogue. It is a quick and easy card to make using a stamp-a-ma jig to line the hexagons up.

My colour scheme is strawberry slush, crisp cantaloupe and coastal cabana. The six sided sampler is a great stamp set and it has a matching hexagon punch - if you buy them both together you get 15% off.
