Good Morning Everybody,

Victoria Littlewood – VickieLou Designs

Heather Forgan – Stamp With Nellie

Jayne Frank – Craft with Jayne

Those of you who follow me regularly will know this is not my usual style of crafting, but I have had a go at making a paper bag mini album.

I’ve used a mix of retiring and newer products to make my project today.

The 2023 In Colour Treat bags form the body of the album. These ones are Boho Blue.

The stamping has been done with Boho Blue and Starry Sky inks… These colours go together so well!

I recently discovered the Of Art & Texture stamp set… Love it!

You can see how I made the album in my video tutorial… It’s a longer video but I hope you enjoy it.

Here’s a view of the inside. Journalling panels were added to the pages, decorated with the same stamping and ink blending for a coordinated look.

Measurements (inches):

  • Front/Back Cover – 4⅞ x 6⅛
  • Spine – 4⅞ x 1¾, score each side at ½ inch
  • Journalling Panels – 4½ x 5¾
  • Front Panel – 4¾ x 6

I also rounded the corners. You can of course add additional layers as you would like.

This sample was made using Wild Wheat and Early Espresso, bring in the Petal Park stamps instead of Colour and Contour, (both sets are retiring)

The panels on the inside were layered on to the darker cardstock (I completely forgot on the blue version)

Creative Colour Challenge #77 with the Petal Park bundle

Hello Everyone,

If you need a challenge, this will be right up your street .. some tricky colours to work with!

If you wish to play along you can do so HERE!

I have stuck with a floral design for my project… You can’t really go far wrong with the Petal Park bundle.

The Early Espresso leaves over Very Vanilla cardstock gave a vintage feel, enhanced with some Wink of Stella and ink blend around the edges.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

This card used different layers and a larger sentiment to give the design changing the look of the card but using the same products.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Adding white watercolour pencil adds some additional subtle detail to the design.
