Themes, layouts and inspirations
These beautiful December Daily cards by Geralyn Sy make me want to run out to get a Letterpress kit right away! That’s not likely to happen soon, but she shares lots of great ideas in her tutorial that can be used even without letterpress. She started by making the watercolor backgrounds, and then embellishing the cards with text and images that are either letterpress or stamps.
Andrea used the Fun Times collection from Simple Stories to create this fabulous mini Travel Tag album. She even found a cute tiny plastic suitcase to fit it inside of, decorating the outside with a few chipboard elements and a scalloped border.
The album itself has different siezd and shaped pages, some rectangle, some tag shaped, some with scalloped edges but all stitched around the edges. It’s held together at the top with a metal “O” ring.
The pages have 3″ x 2 1/2″ photos that are accented with metal buttons, vintage cameras, floral and map papers, chipboard embellishments, tabs, labels and travel related designs in fun retro color combinations.
She’s even included some fun interactive pages too for a really cool tiny but mighty album design.
