SO MUCH PUN MINI ALBUM USING CREATE-A-CARDS | with Shellye

We all have that special person that we make a great combo with! Today I'm sharing a sweet little mini album using several of the A2 "Create-A-Cards" and the "So Much Pun" Collection.

I turned the cards horizontally, with the openings to the right. A strip of patterned paper was cut to 9"X3.5" and scored in half. The paper was then attached to the front card flap ( and repeated for the following card fronts). For the cover: I did leave an opening along the top so that a tag could be included.

I used a binding system and metal comb to hold the pages together. After embellishing a metal-rimmed tag from my stash, I slipped it onto the comb.

In prepping all of the "card" pages, I attached mats of various patterns before setting out to add the embellishments.

To stretch the remnants of the 6X6 papers, a few of the pages used pieced papers for the mats; the seams were hidden with border stickers or washi tape!

For most of the 2.5"X2.5" cut-out cards, I made them inter-active by scoring an edge and attaching wtih adhesive tape. This is a great way to allow larger photos while still using larger design components.

A total of 4 of the "A2 Striped Assortment" Cards were used. After completion, there are a total of 16 pages! Use the same design concept to create a story flip-book or brag book for kids!

Thank you for joining me today!
