Crealies: Its All About the Pockets Mini Album Part 1 of 3

 

Hi It's Patty

Today I start a fun mini album. This one is all about pockets.  Most of us love to add pockets to mini albums and today I'm starting a fun mini album giving you ideas of how to use pockets.  You can create this album as it is or you can use it kind of like a catalog of pockets if you need ideas for other mini album.  

 For our first page design I used For Journalzz and Plannerzz XL Pocket Die no:655  to make a fun wrap around pocket on a 3/4 sized page front.  To do this I shorted my page and folded the pocket in half. I added some tags made with Big Labelzz and Tagzz no:18  All base pages are 8.25 x 8.25

When you open the page the back side is just like the front, this is where you can see the wrap around pocket from the other side. On the right side page I made 2 smaller pockets with For Journalzz and Plannerzz Medium Pocket Die no:652 

Here you can get a better look at the pages without the tags and photo mats.  You can see what a fun page the 3/4 page is. 

When you flip open up the page hiding under is 2 more pocket designs.  These both use For Journalzz and Plannerzz XL Pocket Die no:655  One style is making them into angled pockets and the other one is made just how the die is designed. 

Here it is empty with no photo mats. 

This is what it looks like if you were to open up all the pages as they are attached. 

Here is another look at my tags made with Big Labelzz and Tagzz no:18

Crealies Easter Mini Brag Book

 

Hi It's Patty

Today I would like to share with you this cute fun Easter Mini Brag Book. It's hard when you don't have a huge paper collection to work with but the paper is so cute that you want to make something. Well I created this fun brag book to work with a small paper collection. 

I had this cute Easter paper collection and I wondered what I could do with it and the Crea-Nest-Lies XXL no:105  has a really fun shape to it I thought it would make a fun mini album. 

By just using the dies I was able to make this whole brag book.  My base pages were made with the Crea-Nest-Lies XXL no:105  and the pages were attached to 

Mini Album Binding System A 

I wanted to add pockets so by using For Journalzz and Planners Medium Pocket Die no:652  and Large Pocket Die no:651  I made fun pockets on top of my pages.

There was many fun ways I made my tags with Big Labelzz and Tags no:13 

Here is another look at one of my pages. 

By taking the largest tag die from Big Labelzz and Tagzz no:13  I made this fun full out photo mat. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Crealies Lucky Star Mini Album Part 3

Hi It's Patty

Today we wrap up with part 3 of my Lucky Star Mini Album

This album has been so much fun to create and I hope you enjoyed it.  In this 3rd and final part with put it all together as well as we get to play with 2 of the new February release dies. Using Crea-Nest-Lies XXL no:106  we make some fun photo mats and with Cardzz no:184  we make some fun flip pages. 

Below is a closer  look at Crea-Nest Lies XXL no:106  and I can see lots of fun with this one in the future. 

The new Slimline dies Cardzz no:184  seemed to be made for this album and they fit perfect on the pages.  You can make them open side to side or top to bottom and look great. 

Then when you flip them open you can see how fun they make the pages. 

Below are some picture of the album we will finish in the video.

Crealies Lucky Star Mini Album Part 2

 

Hi It's Patty

Today I would like to share with you part 2 of my Lucky Star Mini Album we started last week.  Here are two page designs we will be making. 

Our first design I made by using Cardzz no:13   this die is what you use to make the squash and fold cards. However is you cut 4 of them out and place them together you can make this really fun layout and also you have room on the inside to add small photo mats or just add a picture under it. 

To hold the squares down I added a small card to the top and a magnet to the back side of the card and one on the bottom of where all 4 squares come together. 

As you start opening these you can see how much fun this design is. 

Once it is all open it looks very pretty and even looks like a stain glass effect.  You can keep pattern paper down or cut out small photos to make a photo collage.

You might recognize this next page from the past where I just made an alternative page design, I really liked this design and wanted to use it in a mini album. This mini album I thought would be perfect to try it out.  This envelope is held down by making tags from Big Labelzz and Tagzz no:13 

The new larger On the Edge dies are so much fun and I used On the Edge XL no:35  for the bottom pocket and my flap. 

Once you open up the flap you can see there is lots more room for photo mats.

For a full tutorial on how I made this please check out the video below.
