COLOR ME CRAFTY ONE SHEET MINI ALBUM | with Kathy

Have you ever discovered a project on socials and immediately thought, "I must make this!"?  That's what happened to me when I saw a fun one-sheet mini album tutorial by @kmaliche on Instagram.  It's such a fun design, and I thought it would be a great project using the Color Me Crafty collection.  How fun would it be to make this at a crop?

The base of the  album is made up of one 12x12 sheet of cardstock, scored and cut according to the directions given in the tutorial.  You then decorate "pages" on both sides of the paper before folding it into a book.  Here are the back and front of the page decorated, before they were folded into shape.  There are 12 pages in the book, six on each side of the folded paper.

Once you've decorated all the sections, the page folds up into a fun mini that ties together.  Below are the pages of the book while folded....

For my cover, I chose to mix and match some of the Puffy Word Stickers for my title.  I then added stickers from the Icon Sticker Sheet.

My back cover is decorated with one of the Odds & Ends and a word sticker from the This & That sticker sheet.

When you open the album, you find lots of fun pages full of flippies, pockets and plenty of room for your crop photos!  I covered the pages with a variety of papers from the collection and decorated with This & That, Odds & Ends, Chit Chats, Bits &  Pieces, Shaped Sprinkles, Icon and Puffy Stickers.

The tags from the Colorway Double sided cardstock fit perfectly into the book, and I just love the tabs from the Bits & Pieces!!

I love how the tutorial creates gussets so that you can layer in the album without it being bulky!  I created a fun flip through video, because everything is better in motion!!

I am so happy with how this came out!  Now to fill it with some fun crop photos.  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

COLOR ME CRAFTY ONE PAGE MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello crafty friends!  It’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity, and today I’m back sharing another project using the colorful and fun Color Me Crafty collection.

Let's get started! For this project, I created this adorable mini album that’s perfect for documenting crafty retreats, crop weekends, creative friends, and all those special crafting memories.

The album measures 4” x 5¾”. To create the base, I started with one sheet of the Color Me Crafty Solid Assortment textured cardstock in purple. I scored the 12” side at 4” and 8”. Then I turned the cardstock and scored at 5¾” and 6¼” to create a ½” spine.

Next, I trimmed away the ½” sections on both ends and folded everything accordion-style so the pages alternate from top to bottom, creating a fun zig-zag interactive structure. You can absolutely make this album using only the 6” x 8” paper pad, but I wanted the covers to be a little sturdier, so I added chipboard covers. The chipboard pieces were trimmed to 4” x 5¾” and covered with papers from the 6" x 8" paper pad measuring 6 3/4" x 5". I chose the adorable icon print for one side and the floral pattern for the other, which coordinates beautifully with the colorful theme.

For the inside pages, I layered patterned papers, cardstock mats, and photo mats throughout the album. The larger photo mats measure approximately 3½” x 5¼”, making them perfect for photos from your favorite crafty adventures. For the cover, I used the Just a Note Doodle-Pop along with the BFF's Doodle-Pop. I layered them with stickers from the This & That sticker sheet, added a few puffy hearts and icons, and finished everything with dimension using foam adhesive.

Before attaching the chipboard covers to the album base, I secured this beautiful rainbow ribbon closure. I found it online, and I think it coordinates perfectly with all the bright and cheerful colors in the Color Me Crafty collection.

I absolutely love how colorful and interactive this mini album turned out, and I think it’s the perfect place to document crafty retreats, classes, crop weekends, and all those wonderful memories made with creative friends.

Let me know what you think, and I’ll see you again soon with another crafty project!
Xo, Conny!

COLOR ME CRAFTY 12x12 PAGE LAYOUT | with Traci

Hello crafty friends!  It's Traci and I'm excited to be on the blog today with another Color Me Crafty project!  Aren't you just loving this new collection?? Oh my goodness, the colors and the adorable icons and patterns are so much fun to create with!  Today I'm sharing a 12x12 page that I plan to add photos to after an upcoming retreat.

I absolutely love how a stripe looks as the base of a page, so I layered the sheet called Colorway with citrus and white pieces of card stock.  I cut some circle shapes with my Cricut out of Bubblegum card stock and added them to the center of my background.

Crafty Weekend Girl was the perfect title for my page.  These pieces come in the Chit Chat pack along with 99 (!) other adorable phrases, word strips, and cute sentiments.

The flowers are from the Bits & Pieces pack, and those fun scissors are from the Odds & Ends.  Die cuts are my favorite crafty embellishment, well ... next to enamel dots and sprinkles of course!  :)

How cute is that layered camera, flowers, and photos piece!!?  That is also in the Bits & Pieces and it fit perfectly clustered over my colorful little photo mats.  Some shape sprinkles, a couple This and That stickers, and a few more die cuts finished off my page.  I love all of the color and can't wait to add my pictures!

I hope my page has inspired you to create something fun with Color Me Crafty!
