Scrapbooking tutorial - Mini Envelope Album

Image
HELLO EVERYBODY! Many other scrapers use envelopes in their projects. This time I would like to introduce you to my interpretation of it.      I invite you to watch this short presentation of the mini envelope album.  Did I arouse your interest? ;) If you like the mini envelope album and would like to do the same, please feel free and follow the tutorials. I tried to make it as easy as possible, and for more complex issues, I included explanations directly in the movie. However, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to write them in the comments below. Tutorials no 1 and 2 I used a tick 2mm paper for the cover, but you can use any other stiff cardboard, chipboard, leftover thicker paper or even a box of rice, cereal or different foods. The cover is decorated with a self-adhesive film. Nonetheless, you can substitute it with book cloth, fabric (for this, you need fabric glue) or specially dedicated tear-resistant paper. Tutori...

Making Glycerine Soap - Tutorial

Image
HELLO EVERYBODY!   Can you imagine to make a bar of soap all by yourself and then imagine you made a lovely box to put it in as well? Does it seem to be impossible? Not at all! It is a great idea for a gift, an excellent way to spend time with your kid and most importantly - it is so easy! You can create any kind of the soap by adding dry flower petals or grains, which will work as a natural scrub. You can make all possible colour constellations by mixing white or clear glycerine and adding natural dyes. Natural fragrances are also available in many online stores. By adding a few drops makes your daily shower an absolute pleasure!   Lavender and vanilla improve the mood. In the case of exhaustion, it helps you to fall asleep and relax, as well as stimulate in a situation of weakened concentration or over tiredness. Lavender has anti-acne, antiseptic and skin regenerative properties. Vanilla is an effective antioxidant, delays the effects of skin ageing, invi...

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Image
HELLO EVERYBODY!   Today I come to you with a mini scrapbook photo album that I created as a birthday present for my friend's grandmother. Grandma had a 90th birthday! Throughout decorating the album, I had a smile on my face. It was a great pleasure!          The person to whom the album was dedicated is a bit older. Therefore, I chose a retro style to complement the person. Additional, all the booklets and photo mats have little handles for more comfortable removal. The request was to preserve "grandmother's elegant style", and I think I managed to achieve this.  I used a 'Bazyl' album produced by ECO Scrapbooking, and the album's dimensions are 16,2cmx21,2cm (6,4"x8,4"). It has six cards with additional top pockets. It fits two sizes of pictures: 9x13 and 10x15. It can contain about 100 photos – it depends on how one arranges them. Please find below the short movie which presents the mini scrapbook photo album in detail. As ...

Kasia Sweet Kasia!

HELLO EVERYBODY! I want to present the mini scrapbook photo album I created as a birthday gift for my dear friend. I used paper from Make&Create, and I mixed different collections: 'Unique Story', 'Nature At Heart' and 'Vintage Charm'. While each page is different, together, they create a coherent composition. The person for whom I made it has a closed personality. But if you look inside of her and start to explore layers of her character, one after another, you will find out what a fantastic human she is. She is a mix of dark and light, elegance and fashion, and passion and wildness - all these attributes I tried to include in the album.  I used a 'Bazyl' album produced by ECO Scrapbooking, and the album's dimensions are 16,2cmx21,2cm (6,4"x8,4"). It has six cards with additional top pockets. The album is dedicated to pictures of two sizes: 9x13 and 10x15. It can contain from 70 to 95 photos – it depends on how one ...

Beginning in Scrapbooking

Image
HELLO EVERYBODY!   I was coming back memory lane to a mini scrapbook photo album which I created as a wedding gift for my friends several years ago. It was my first photo album in my life and I am very proud of it. I did not have too many skills, knowledge and tools to make it—only some basic equipment. So, in that sense, it was one of the most creative items I have ever made ;) It took me two months to make it (!!!) The card with shaker box was part of the set, and inside I included wishes. I used a 'Bazyl' album produced by ECO Scrapbooking, and the album's dimensions are 25cmx25cm (10"x10"). It has 8 cards with additional top pockets. The album is dedicated to pictures of 4 sizes: 9x13, 10x15, 13x18 and 15x21. It can contain from 150 to 200 photos – it depends on how one plans them. I hope you will enjoy my work, and I invite you to watch a video which presents the item in detail. What was your first item in scrapbooking? What was your th...
