LUCKY ME RIBBON TIED MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello crafty friends, it’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity with another mini album using the Lucky Me Collection. If you would like to see the process video, be sure to check out my YouTube channel.

To begin creating the mini album cover, cut your chipboard pieces to the following sizes: 4 x 2½ inches for the front cover, 4 x 2 inches for the spine, and 4 x 5 inches for the back cover. Once the chipboard pieces are cut, wrap each piece with patterned paper from the collection. For the front cover, I used the My Lucky Charm patterned paper and trimmed it to 11½ x 5¾ inches.

Next, cut the Rainbow Drops acetate sheet with polka dots to 3 x 4 inches and place it on the front cover section measuring 2½ inches. Make sure the acetate reaches all the way to the edge, since this will become the front of your mini album. I used double-sided tape to adhere the acetate to the chipboard cover.

To cover the inside of the chipboard cover, trim a piece of cardstock measuring 4 x 9½ inches. The paper I used here is Clover Patch. Adhere this piece to the inside of the album cover for a clean, finished look.

Now moving on to the pages; For the pages, you can use white cardstock or coordinating cardstock from the collection. You will need two pieces measuring 4 x 10½ inches. On the long side, which is the 10½ inch side, score each piece at 5 inches and 5½ inches. In addition, cut one piece measuring 4 x 10 inches, then score it at 4½ inches and 5 inches.

Once these pieces are scored and folded, you will have three signature pages that will be adhered to the middle of the spine. When attaching the pages, make sure to leave about ¼ inch of space from the front and back of the spine so the pages can open comfortably. Adhere the pages one after the other, leaving a small border between them. I recommend leaving about an ⅛ inch gap between each page.

The first page should be the shorter piece, which is the 4 x 10-inch page. Place this page toward the front, and then adhere the two longer pages measuring 4 x 10½ inches behind it. To match the white pages, I used papers from the 6 x 8 paper pad. For the back panels of the pages, cut pieces measuring 3¾ x 4¼ inches, and for the front panels, cut pieces measuring 3¾ x 4¾ inches. These layers add color and pattern while creating a base for photos and embellishments.

To embellish the mini album, I used a variety of elements from the Lucky Me collection, including Mini Icons, Puffy Icons, and the All the Things ephemera pieces. For the cover, I added a rosette that I created for a previous design team project using the Lucky Me collection, and it makes a beautiful focal point on the front of the album.

To make the album more interactive, I also added flip pages using the 3 x 4 cards and tags throughout the album. For dimension and layering, I adhered several embellishments using foam adhesive, which helps create depth and makes the details stand out.

LUCKY ME LEPRECHAUN TRAP | with Jen

As soon as I saw the Lucky Me collection I knew I needed to make a leprechaun trap! This is super easy to put together and there is a full video tutorial linked at the bottom of this post.

The overall trap is 5 1/4" x 7 1/4" and the box itself can absolutely be repurposed as a photo storage box or a card storage box or even a box to hold a mini album. The top has a window so you can see inside to check if you trapped your leprechaun! I used the new Rainbow Dots Heavyweight acetate for the window. 

The trap is "set" by raising the little prop that is attached to the front of the box with a Ladybug Chunky Brad. The prop is made from a craft stick from the dollar store. I also constructed a little ladder using craft sticks to help the leprechaun climb inside. When the prop falls it catches behind the Rainbow word from the All the Things pack. 

On the front we have a bunch of garden items from the All the Things pack and a leprechaun. I fussy cut the pot of gold from one of the cut aparts because I'd used my other two on my other projects. 

I added the Happy St. Patrick's Day sentiment and a couple more elements from the All the Things pack to the top. 

The box is matted on all four sides and I used two of the border strips that left attached around the top of the box and on the closure. 

The full video tutorial is linked below!

Have a great day!

LUCKY ME MINI ALBUM IN A BOX | with Traci

Hi friends! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a fun scrapbook for spring and St. Patrick's Day. My Doodlebug and Lori Whitlock design team projects happen to fall on the same day, so ... I combined the adorable Lucky Me Collection with one of Lori's amazing cutting files to create this cute mini album! 

I used the 5x5 Album With Box File (link below) to cut the base out of lily white cardstock, then decorated it with 12x12 pattern papers. On the front of the box, I layered the pretty floral Clover Patch paper, the cute polka dot print titled My Lucky Charm, and the 4x4 card from the St. Paddy's Plaid paper. 

Tucked inside the box is a cute mini album, perfect for spring and St. Patrick's Day photos. On the cover, I added the My Lucky Charm paper with its fun little images of rainbows, ladybugs, flowers, and clovers. Then, I added another 4x4 card that says hello sunshine! 

Inside, there are 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided) that I covered with more bright and cheerful 12x12 pattern papers. I added lots of cute die cuts from All The Things, colorful enamel dots, and photo mats. 

On the left page above, I used the adorable Rainbow Skies paper and added a 3x4 card from the Color Me Happy print. I wanted to use the card as a photo mat, so I covered the images in the center with white cardstock. Then, I added the horseshoe and flower die cuts. 

On the right, I used the polka dot print called My Lucky Charm, added a square mat, and embellished with more fun die cuts. I used a few bumblebee enamel dots on and around the pot of gold to mimic the coins.

The All The Things die cuts come with 143 pieces that include adorable shapes, icons, tags, and sentiments. So, the spring flowers, the cute blue birds, the Lucky Me that you see above, and all the other die cuts in this mini ... come in one package! It's literally ... all the things!

I hope you like this fun scrapbook and it inspires you to create something special with the wonderful Lucky Me Collection. For a video tutorial on this project, visit my blog. Have a great day and happy scrapping! 😊
