My Skylark Blog Hop has several projects! This paper pack is AMAZING! Once you start working with it, you will find yourself in the same predicament; not being able to stop, that I promise!
So, in honor of my Grandmothers birthday on the 5th, I wanted to make a card and gift set...she has many pictures just sitting in shoe boxes, Oh MY! Yes, shoe boxes...so, I decided to make her an 8 x 8 mini album to be part of her gift set!
Using Close to my Heart's Cricut Collections, I was able to cut every part of these projects.
To start, I used the square "S" Swing Card cut from Artiste. I then sized labels to work for sentiment.The card is just so easy to work with, using the B&T papers gives the swing cards a nice variation to a traditional card. Added bonus on swing cards, you see both side of paper!!
For the 8 x 8 mini album, I cut out 8" square cereal box cardboard and cut B&T papers to fit. I also did Mixed Media techniques to some of the pages. It was so fun to create this! Then I used my "The Cinch" to make it a spiral bound album.
For my final project to complete her birthday gift kit is of course FLOWERS!! Love the spiral flower cuts from Art Philosophy!! I used the pointed rose petal and sized 4" and 3.5". Then used leaves and foliage to compliment. The funnest part, was getting it all placed in the Pillow Box!
