CTC#243 A 3D project- envelope minialbum


Welcome back to CTC this week for 3D projects inspired by the catalogue. 

I'm excited to see what everyone has made.

Do you shy away from 3D projects because they might take a long time to make? I do.

But this project was made so easy by the fabulous Memories and More cards and the Magnolia Lane specialty cards and envelopes. It uses very few supplies.

 I have to admit that I constructed most of this project on a long car trip and it was very satisfying to pass the time being creative. 




This is the inspiration picture on page 37 of the Catalogue. I do love the simplicity of the cards but I was a bit disappointed initially at the weight of the cards- I thought they were a bit flimsy, but they do firm up when you add the M&M cards. However I Love the silver accent details and the lining.  I have wanted to make an envelope album for a long time and this seemed like the perfect place to start. There are loads of clips showing how to create a basic envelope album and I watched a few for ideas before I just went with what seemed to work.


This is a picture heavy post - the old 1000 words thing....

First page. The envelopes are perfect for slipping in photos or memorabilia.
The M&M cards are perfect for journalling and so easy to place with the silver frame already there for you on the specialty cards.
The right hand page is a card which I have adhered over another card and inserted the "back" of the card into an envelope behind. It opens up to the right.
 Card opened out.
And the reverse- page 2
Page 3 no pockets on this page, just space for a photo and some journalling.
 Page 4 - I made and extra pocket using one of the smaller M&M cards adhered across the bottom and the left side only. 2 more cards make nice slip in tags, and a larger one slips in behind. There is extra space in the envelope to the right, which is the back page.


and the back.

And just to give you another view- this album uses 5 envelopes and liners and 2 cards. - one of the pages is made by adhering the one card closed with the card 'front' of the second sandwiched between and the card 'back' adhered inside one of the envelope pockets. I just experimented a little, see what works for you.
  
My tip would be to assemble the envelopes in order before you glue anything in place!

I hope you get some time to be creative this week and share a photo of your project on our Facebook page. Happy crafting!

    Fabulous project Liz! Would love to see it filled in. Agree these cards need some stability but when they have it, they are super :)

CTC#86 Everyday is a good day to send a card

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night blogshop where we use a section of the Catalogue to inspire this weeks projects. Designers can take a layout, a colour combination, or any element as the starting point to create something new. We invite you to tour around the hop and to join in -after all the Catalogue has so many beautiful samples to inspire us all. If you get lost you'll find the full crew here . You may have arrived from Simone , so welcome. And this week we are really excited to welcome 3 new designers to the team, Krissy, Deb and Kelly  please do leave them a comment and welcome. This week we are using the samples from the Everyday Occasions section (which is a huge section) from pages 66-91. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
