Frank Garcia Mini Album Parcel Club

Frank Garcia Mini Album Parcel Club - Home Again

Hello, crafty friends!!!

I have been wanting to share this mini album with you all! It is a kit provided by the amazing Frank Garcia as part of his Mini Album Parcel Club. I love that he provides step-by step instructions on how to complete the album and the materials are also included. You can either follow the step-by-step directions, or simply use the guide as inspiration and make it your own. Because the ephemera and the Home Again papers didn't really go with my plan to use the album for my travel photos, I have decided to do my own page designs.

My new crafty friend, Kristianne, has leftover papers and ephemera from the Home Again collection and she sent me beautiful handmade embellishments. She is so amazing, very creative and talented. She also has a YouTube channel where she shows how to make embellishments and other craft ideas. So, thank you very much, Kristianne. You are very generous and so kind to make all the paper pretties for my album. You've definitely helped me finish this album in no time! xoxo!!!

Okay guys, here are some photos:

Look how chunky this album is!!! I love it so much!

Back of the album:

Here are the pages:

I made a cascading feature so that I can add a lot of photos.

Kristianne even sent me extra ephemera and a roll of washi tape, which I used to tape down some of the photos. Isn't she the best?! You have to see all the goodies she made for me - click here.

Another cascading layout, this time I used a paperclip to keep the pages together:

I made a pocket for all the extra photos and journaling that I wasn't able to fit in the album. I think it makes for a fun, interactive element.

Here is the album again. I hope you enjoyed it! Big thank you, once again, to Frank Garcia for making this beautiful album kit available... and Kristianne for the gorgeous embellishments!!!

With my leftover papers and ephemera from the kit, I made some cards for a friend.

I hope you enjoy my crafts and you are inspired to create today!!!

October Release 2023 Blog Hop - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello and welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh October 2023 Release Blog Hop! For my card, I started out with a light blue cardstock that measures 4.5 inches square. I stenciled through the Winter Words with Finnabair Snowflake Paste for a fun background. I then made a mug shaker using the Winter Mug Dies and the cutout to make a window for the shaker is from the Birthday Mug Additions Dies. The shaker bits are from the Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads . I used various colors of cardstock from Spellbinders for my card. I added a cute little bird from the Holiday Birds Dies and a couple gifts using the rectangle pieces from the Build A Stocking Dies. The rest of the die cuts are from the new Holiday Mug Additions Dies. Then I added some pink dots on the greenery with Liquid Pearls in Ballerina. Lastly, I glued the card panel onto a 4.5-inch square card base. Make sure to check out the rest of the Hop for more inspiration using the new products from Pretty Pink Posh! There ar...

Heffy Doodle and Gerda Steiner Designs Collaboration

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Gerda Steiner Designs Collaboration Blog Hop! Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies! For this fun collaboration, I made a slimline birthday card. To begin, I stamped, colored, and cut images from Gerda Steiner Designs - On the Table , On the Bookshelf and the new Heffy Doodle Popping By stamp set. I then cut the largest rectangle from the Heffy Doodle Stitched Slimline Trio Dies in white cardstock. For my table, I used the Ain't So Plaid Stencil and inked with Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxides. The top portion is ink blended with Tattered Rose and I splattered some black and rose gold acrylic paint for interest. I then white heat embossed the happy birthday sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock. Next, I adhered the elements down onto the card. Lastly, I adhered my panel onto a slimline card base.

Merriest Christmas Wishes - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello friends. I'm here to show you a super easy Christmas shaker card made possible by the new Pretty Pink Posh Tree Cover Plate . I get really excited when I can whip up a card in just a few minutes. Let's get started! First, I cut the Tree Cover Plate from light pink cardstock and glued a sheet of clear acetate on the back. I added foam tape all around the edges and in the spaces between the trees. Then, I sprinkled in some Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads . After that, I peeled off the backing of the foam tape and glued on a patterned paper that's A2-sized. For the words, I used white heat embossed with a saying from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas Stamp Set on red cardstock. Then, I cut it out with a die from the Sentiment Strip Dies and gave it some extra pop by mounting it with foam. To make things extra special, I added Metallic Gold Pearls here and there for a touch of sparkle. I'm just thrilled with how quickly this card came together. I hope it gets your cre...
