I have been having so much fun with the intricate dies from Heartfelt Creations, it was just a "given" that they would be included. I cut the Lacy Diamond from white cardstock and used it as the base. I stamped the Petite Pansy Frame and cut it out with the die. I used Memento Lulu Lavender and Ranger Archival Dark Purple to sponge the flowers. I colored the leaves with the light and dark Old Olive Stampin' Up blends and colored the diamond frame with Daffodil Delight light and dark blends. They are amazing.....
On the inside, I used the Delicate Pansy Spray stamp and die to decorate the inside of the front and back covers. I used 4 different dies from Heartfelt Creations to create trims for the pockets and to create tuck spots for the fabulous panels from the Burst of Spring paper collection....on the first page I used the cute corner fan from the Frame a Card Leafy Borders Die collection...….
On the next pages, I used the gorgeous center section of the Ornate Pocket die set to make a swirly little tuck spot across the bottom corner, and on the pocket I added the trim from the Sweetheart Borders Die set to add a touch of "lace".....
I love the tuck spots because it gives the option of adding an extra photo or journaling in addition to mounting a photo on the page. And those panels in the Heartfelt Creations paper collections fit perfectly into the pockets.....also great for journaling on the back!
On the next pages, another pocket with the "lace" trim and four little adorable tuck corners using the little corner frame from the Album Tags & Accents die collection. These little corners are adorable on cards as well.....
When I got to the center, I wanted something that could be mirrored with elegance. Of course, the first thing that came to mind was the fantastic Ornate Pocket die....it is so versatile!! So, I cut 2 of them and used them as pockets for two photo mats. On the front of the mats, I cut the center square from 2 of the 6x6 panels from the Burst of Spring paper...…
LOVE the way they turned out!! For the rest of the book, I simply mirrored the first portion and worked my way to the back inside cover...….
I decorated it the opposite of the inside front cover. I love the pansy spray because it has two images that mirror each other which makes it super easy to use them to compliment the other. And no fussy cutting!!!! Yay!! The gingham paper comes in Highland Heather, Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, and Lemon Lime Twist....the perfect combination for all your spring projects! I plan to make a few more of these little albums with more fun themes!
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed my project. Maybe it even inspires you to "think spring" and brightens up your day......'til next time...…
Happy Crafting,
