Sweet December Daily!

Hi there! If you are into December Daily albums then you will love this one! This chunky mini is not only full of pockets and flips and lots of interactive pages, but it's decorated and embellished with some of the cutest Christmas designs I have ever had the opportunity to work with!

I created the base from chipboard and used the fabulous 'Candy Coated Christmas' digital collection by Traci Reed Designs for all of the papers, stickers and embellishments! With these bright candy colors and adorable designs you can't go wrong!

Here are some of the amazing twenty-five pages of the album, but to see it all visit my YouTube channel or watch the video below!

Small Packages!

Hi there! I love receiving small gifts! I do think that great gifts come in small packages and I love it even more when they are adorably decorated!

This trio of small packages was created with the Traci Reed digital collection "Candy Coated Christmas" along with my Silhouette Cameo. I simply cut out the package design from the printed paper and then embellished each small gift with tags, stickers and paper curls! Super cute and easy! 

This Christmas digital collection is a must have! Check it out at Traci Reed Designs and get started on your gift wrapping today!

Candy Coated Christmas!

Hi there! If you follow my Instagram, then you know I had a little sneak of this adorable Christmas album and as promised, here it is!  This gorgeous tri-fold mini album was made with the new @tracimreed ‘Candy Coated Christmas’ digital collection and the papers, cards and stickers are all so festive and fabulous- a must have collection! 

I created the base out of chipboard and covered it first in card stock and then with some of the beautiful holiday patterned designs. There is a pocket inside the front cover to hold goodies as well as a large pocket on the next page that holds a large photo card. I added in lots of fabulous details too with all of the amazing and cute stickers that are part of this collection!

On the last two sections of the mini album, I created simple photo flips- one horizontal and one vertical. They are both secured with magnets and embellished with super cute Santa faces! Plus, this is a great way to show off all of the awesome digital designs in this collection! Check it out at tracireed.com and get it for yourself!

Hearth and Hollow Cards!

Hi everyone! Thanksgiving is upon us and it's a great time of year to remind your special people how thankful you are for them. One of my favorite ways to do that is with a handmade card of course!

The new 'Hearth & Hollow' collection from Traci Reed Designs is now available and is full of fabulous Fall colors, sentiments and images which makes making cards super easy! I had already cut all of the sticker images as well as most of the journal cards and I had lots of scraps left from previous projects so all I had to do was layer and place my patterned papers and stickers on a card base.

This card features several patterns along with a journal card and a beautiful sentiment sticker! I placed a large flower bouquet sticker behind the sentiment and popped it up a bit and added more flower stickers on top along with tiny hearts.

The other card features a patterned paper background topped with a 4x6 journal card and a couple of colorful strips. I used a sentiment banner to cover the word on the card and then layered flower stickers under and around it to completely cover it. I added in more hearts as well as a few enamel dots!

Fall Loaded Envelope!

Hi everyone! The new Traci Reed digital collection 'Hearth & Hollow' is now available! This collection is loaded with adorable images and patterns and I wanted to show them all off! A loaded envelope is the perfect way to do this!

I haven't made one of these in quite a while and I forgot how fun they are! The envelope and all of the surprises inside are made with this fabulous collection! Depending on the size of your envelope, you can fill them with so many goodies. This one measures 6" x 8" and has some gusseted pockets that could easily hold more than what I put in there!

These loaded envelopes make great gifts and I mounted mine on a piece of chipboard for extra stability. This way it can also be used as decor for the season! It looks so cute sitting on an easel!

I made some decorative paper clips, a couple of super cute tags that are ready to be tied on, a gift card holder (because who can't resist a little Starbucks!), a trio of notecards, a fun pinwheel and a sweet notebook that can be used as a travelers notebook or as a mini album!

Check out YouTube for lots of tutorials on how to make a loaded envelope. I hope this one gives you lots of crafty inspiration! Visit my YouTube channel or watch the video below for a walk through of this cute project!

Seek Gratitude Easel Album!

Hi everyone! Wow, it has been a while since my last post! Keeping up with social media can be a big job! I've been keeping up with Instagram and Pinterest but I let my blog go for a bit. But I'm back because I am proud to say that I am a new design team member of Traci Reed Designs!

My first post with this new team features the gorgeous 'Seek Gratitude' paper collection! This collection has a digital kit, journal cards, patterned cards and stickers. I printed out the digital papers, the patterned and journal cards as well as the stickers which I then cut out with my Silhouette Cameo! For great tutorials on the best ways to print and cut digital files, be sure to follow Traci Reed at YouTube.

This album measures five inches square and has three front and three back sections. I covered all of the sections or 'pages' with a different paper and then topped that off with patterned cards, journal cards and lots of the stickers for embellishments! I am showing off all of the important loves of my life with the seasonally beautiful sentiments, patterns and images of this collection!

 

I also die cut one of the journal cards into a large heart shape that is perfect for this page! In addition, I die cut some tiny hearts from the patterned paper to layer in with the other embellishments and added in a few enamel dots!

Over on my YouTube channel there is a short tutorial on how to create one of these super cute easel albums for yourself or you can watch the video below. They are the perfect size to adorn your desk or a shelf and to show what is important to you!
