Renew Mini Album

 

 

Good Morning Folks!

Donna-Marie here to share a new project with you.

 

This is a mini album I made with my Tim Holtz Baroque Die and

the new line from Authentique "Renew".

I started by cutting 3 chip board "baroque" pieces

 

Then covered them with paper from the Authentique Renew Line

using my Matte Medium and a foam brush.

TIP: It saves time to cut the paper and chip board at the same time!

I then took 3 mini coin envelopes and trimmed the flaps off as

well as the top...creating a small side pocket.

I then adhered them to one side of the baroque chip board pieces

My next step was to create embellishments to decorate.

  I used my new Spellbinders D'Lites Die to create layers on top of the envelope.

 

LOVE these little guys!!! Here is a pic of my cuts ready to layer. 

 I inked the edges with Memento Teal Zeal.

Here is the beginning of the embellishments being layered.  Notice I used chip board in between the layers to "pop" them up.  Chip board gives the piece substance and it's not raised too high..give it a shot and see if you like it instead of foam tape :-)

I continued layering with the circle that comes with the

Spellbiners D'Lite Die and some smaller ones as well (from my stash of punches).

The decorative circle is a punch out that comes with the Renew Line.

That takes care of one side of the baroque piece...now to the other side...

 

I punched large circles form more of the paper line and fussy cut flowers from the paper.

Here is the first page opened..The left side is the envelope side and the right side is the one with the big circle mat and floral embellishments to the side.

The paper line has mini folders that slid nicely into the envelope, I also added mini black tags that I stamped images from the Wplus9 "Love Birds" set with Colorbox Frost White Ink.

 Here are the mini tags :-)

Here are the next pages...

and the last page!!
The pieces got hinged together with black elastic (the kind you use for wrapping packages) I had some left over from the holiday.  It got threaded through holes
punched and reinforced with metal eyelets using my Cropodile.
I hope this inspires you to create something fun of your own :-)
