August 30, 2020 Andrea Bethke

Hey guys! It’s Tmika again! Here’s my third project as guest designer for The Fairytale Club, featuring the "Together-Apart” collection! Such a pretty paper!!

It’s my first Shaker Embellishment Envelope Mini Album!!! This is a cute little 5 envelope shaker that can store embellishments. You can make it as big or little as you want. Mine is 5x5. It’s bound together by twine tied on the 1” spine. Tiny little Velcro closes the envelopes. I used the die cuts from the collection to decorate the envelopes. Check out my video for more details on this cute project and paper collection.

August 21, 2020 Andrea Bethke

Hey everybody! I am back with another guest design team project for Andrea Bethke. Today I’m sharing a memorydex card.

This loaded memorydex card also includes a shaker element! It’s loaded with lots of goodies from the collection. It has tickets, a tassel, and the gorgeous, thick, word ephemera. I absolutely love those! Not to mention the cute little acrylic hearts add a final touch. I outlined the memorydex card with some gold Stickles - everyone loves Stickles! Pick up your “Together-Apart” collection today! #StaySafe.

And check out my video tutorial, also!

December Daily Decorating Our Tree with Carrie

January 16, 2019 Guest User

Hello Everybody, Carrie here with day 2 in my December Daily 4x6 album. I’ve used more of the lovely December Dreams Kit to tell the story of decorating our Christmas tree, and how much my daughter loves to “decorate” ; )

To start off I added the brown heart die cut directly onto my 4x6 photo along with a Santa hat from Little B. I super love how the goldfish ornament is swimming among the other ornaments, and thought he would look cute with a hat and a heart.

On the opposite page is a 3x4 photo with “OUR TREE” written in the Thicker font Happy Life, again placed directly onto the photo. Next to it is a 3x4 shaker pocket with the number 2 punched out into a circle from one of the cut apart sheets. I’ts slightly popped up using foam adheasive and layered over another circle that is only slightly larger which was punched from one of the 12x12 papers. They are attached to a 3x4 piece of transparency and I added in a few aqua and gold sequins.

To keep with the same shape on the opposite side of the shaker pocket, I added another of the larger circles punched from the same 12x12 paper. This time instead of layering it with the date I punched out the pink and green “joy” from one of the cut apart sheets. Since the circles are mounted on both sides of a 3x4 piece of transparency I decided to add some more of the same sequins into this side to complete the shaker. Next to it is another 3x4 photo of our tree.

For the final page of this spread I chose the beautiful bow paper and cut a 4x6 card from the 12x12 sheet. I added the “Mama, let’s decorate.” using the same Thickers, but this time used gold instead of rose gold. To add my journaling, I ran the blue label from one of the cut apart sheets through my typewriter and popped it up slightly using some foam paper layered over a pink tag also from the same cut apart sheet. To add just a little extra something I also added an orange eyelet to the tag. As a final bit of embellishment I placed three of the stars from the die cut pack across the 4x6 card and layered enamel stars and dots from Studio Calico Seven Paper for added dimension…..and that’s it.

Thanks so much for taking a look at today’s project and I’ll see you next time : ) Carrie
